Did Someone Say … Resolutions ?
By Wendy Tait , CIANJ ’ s EVP , Business Development and Strategic Initiatives , Sommelier
It wouldn ’ t be January if we didn ’ t hear the echo of the phrase heard around the world : “ My New Year ’ s resolution this year is …” It ’ s enough to make some people jump in joyful anticipation while others shudder in contempt and frustration . In the end , a resolution is an opportunity to arbitrarily rewrite one ’ s own script , create a new beginning , get right what may have been gotten wrong all of those months , years or a lifetime ago .
If I asked you what the most statistically popular resolution is , I bet that you would probably answer the question correctly — and that is , you guessed it , exercise . Let ’ s for a moment remove all things vanity when talking about exercise
Organize activities outside , support 5k walks , host a parking lot Olympics or volunteer on a home build for Habitat for Humanity .
and pause for a moment on the actual benefit , which is simply feeling better .
In business we are always looking for ways to enhance our teams ’ morale , mental health , productivity , work environment and quality of life . Some simple inspiration in support of this is to organize activities outside , support 5k walks ,
host a parking lot Olympics or volunteer on a home build for Habitat for Humanity .
This New Year , I challenge you to be creative and motivate yourself , your bosses , employees and colleagues to “ exercise ” in whatever way moves them , knowing that , in the end , everyone will feel just a little bit better .
