Halfway through January, most of us are back at work ready to take the year head-on, hopefully, well-rested after a break for the holidays. Yes, we hit the ground running and use our well-rested energy levels to get a head start on the year. However, we are here to remind you to take care of yourself this year and not just the items on your to-do list. Take time to be mindful of your pace and slow down if need be. If you feel life is running away from you, take a step back, re-evaluate and make time to relax.
