Page 16 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JANUARY 22, 2021 Realistic health goals for the New Year M any of us are glad to see the end of 2020! We welcome 2021 with hope and optimism, and, if you are like many others, with new goals and resolutions. Research shows that 80 percent of New Year’s resolutions fail by February. It’s easier to stay committed to your intentions if you can see results. Experts recommend setting smaller goals that can be celebrated and adjusted as you hit milestones. Here are some suggestions to get you started: • Try mindfulness. Mindfulness is a psychological practice that is proven to lower stress levels – reducing harmful ruminating and protecting against depression and anxiety. • Maintain or lose weight. Incorporating small changes into your lifestyle is the best approach to keep off the extra pounds. • Try to eat more fruits and vegetables. More than 90 percent of adults don’t eat enough fruits and vegetables. Don’t like BEACON | FROM Page 15 HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been fi led. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the vegetables? Try “sneaking them in” by adding caulifl ower rice to a sauce or adding spinach to a smoothie. • Try for 30 minutes of exercise a day. If you can’t fi nd 30 minutes, try breaking it up into two 15-minute sessions or even six fi ve-minute bursts. Do laps in your house or try yoga or workout classes online. • Invest in yourself and try something new. This past year has been difficult for everyone, but have you ever wanted to try calligraphy, tie-dye or even woodworking? Check with a local college or recreation program for online classes or search YouTube to find an appropriate program to fi t your needs. • See your doctor. Are you due for a check-up with your primary care doctor or specialist or other health screening? It’s important to stay on a regular schedule, as recommended by your doctor.
