With a new year, comes new adventures. As we continue to navigate the changing circumstances that the pandemic presents us, it is important to remain hopeful and look towards a healthier and safer future.
Seniors can still look forwards to more positive moments, and cherished memories with their community and loved ones, even in the wake of a pandemic. Warm and vibrant seniors’ communities do not have to lose their spirit.
To keep motivated, seniors can make goals for the new year. Goal setting is a great way to improve mental health and overall happiness. As the winter chill sets in, it is essential that seniors continue to do the things they love to prevent seasonal affective disorder.
