 Once a year, when Auld Lang Syne rings out and the confetti falls, many of us become mesmerized by the possibilities of the new year. We make New Year's resolutions that bring excitement and motivation, however as the sparkle of ball drop dulls, for some, so does the hope of achieving those resolutions. avoid getting stuck in the common pitfalls and downward spirals, let’s chat about some helpful tips. Set yourself up for success and avoid New Year’s resolution pitfalls with these practical tips: Focus on Progress, Not Perfection: Don't wait until the end of the year to celebrate progress, acknowledge small victories along the way to keep yourself motivated.
Embrace Flexibility: Life is unpredictable and WILL throw you curveballs, so be prepared to adjust your goals or timeline. If things don’t go as planned, adapt and keep moving forward Avoid an All-or-Nothing Mentality: Don’t give up after a setback and even reframe setbacks as learning opportunities. Instead of viewing challenges as failures, use them as a chance to learn and grow. Don’t Be Afraid to Let Go: If after a few months, you realize your goal is no longer aligned with your values or interests, it’s okay to let it go. Resolutions should feel empowering, not restrictive. Avoid Overload: Focus on a few key goals instead of overwhelming yourself with a zillion resolutions. This makes it easier to prioritize and maintain your commitment. Be Kind to Yourself: When you make mistakes, treat yourself with the same kindness and understanding that you would offer to a friend. Stop the negative self-talk, in my opinion there are enough people who talk crap about you, don’t add to it. Don’t Rely on Willpower Alone: Establish systems to help you succeed, such as setting reminders, creating supportive habits, or having an accountability partner. Relying on willpower alone can lead to burnout. By following these tips, you'll be more likely to stay on track and feel accomplished by the end of the year.

In 2023, according to “Home Magazine” these were the Top 10 Things that Make People Happy:  Recently, Mayor Will Reichelt of West Springfield, sent over an acknowledgement of our President's nomination (and subsequent winning) of the Business West Alumni Achievement Award. "Receiving a note like this from someone in an esteemed position was such a great way to start the day," said Rothschild. "It's always nice to have your hard work recognized."
The award ceremony took place on June 20th at the MassMutual center. Rothschild did not know she had won the award until it was announced!  Having been in business for 10 years, there is no question we receive more than “Why the name Chikmedia?”
