How do you envision your perfect future? A slimmer, more mobile body? Better health? Greater contentment and happiness?
With a new decade rising, there’s no better time to set goals and take steps toward the kind of future you want. Wherever you are right now, there’s room for improvement – and it’s achievable.
We spoke with experts in four areas that have a big impact on health and happiness – living space, outlook, diet, and fitness – who suggest small changes you can start now to make your vision for 2020 and the decade to come to a reality.
SPRUCE UP YOUR HOME
It’s the place you call home, where you curl up with a good book or a movie, spend time with your family and pets, tackle favorite projects or just take it easy when your arthritis flares. Even if you have a full-time job and an active social life, you likely spend more time in your home than anywhere else. You want it to be its best because research shows that your environment can affect your mood and well-being. Simple changes such as fresh paint, a good cleaning and a few modifications can make your home more visually pleasing, organized, safer and more comfortable.
