THE ONCE-A-YEAR TO-DO WHAT SHOULD YOU TRY TO ACCOMPLISH IN 2022? Goals don’t have to all be mountains, but when we plan the little, necessary things, it can make our lives easier, save money and free up our time and mental energy for the big things we’d rather focus on. Get your wheels checked. Properly aligned wheels saves money on repairs later. Replace your smoke detector batteries. It takes a few minutes at most and can save your life in a fire. Call “the guy.” You should get your HVAC system, roof, appliances and pipes inspected regularly to prevent little problems from turning into huge, expensive repairs later.
Get your teeth, skin and eyes checked. Talk to your doctor about any other regular recommended checkups. Take your pets the veterinarian. Pets need checkups too, as well as annual vaccinations and blood work to identify any potential problems. Clean out your closets. Get rid of old stuff that you don’t wear anymore and make room for new things that you actually like. Take a deep dive into your finances. Are you meeting your savings goals? Is there an unnecessary expense that can be trimmed? Do something for yourself. Go on a trip, build and renew your connections with others, do things that make you happy. Think of it as a bill that comes due every month or so, and if you don’t pay up, you’ll regret it.

NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS HOW TO PUT CHANGE AHEAD OF COMFORT The urge for self-improvement is strong at the start of a new year. It’s a time for looking back to see what kind of person we have been and a time for looking forward and visualizing ourselves as the person we want to be. Here we come to a big question: Is the urge for change more powerful than the drive to fall back on what is comfortable to you? At first, change seems manageable, but as time goes on, we may tire like a runner in a long race. Then, as difficulties of our daily lives surround us, returning to the comfort zone could seem more important than making the change. Keep these points in mind when making resolutions: When one resolution involves an important lifestyle change, don’t make any others. If you want to quit smoking, lose weight and learn a foreign language, you won’t be able to do all three things at once. Study the obstacles to your resolution and determine ways to deal with them. If you want to lose weight, for example, decide to skip the ice cream and have a low-calorie popsicle instead. Tell friends you are not eating rich desserts so they won’t tempt you. Think about professional help. Medical assistance could be valuable if you want to break an addictive habit. Keep your focus and monitor your progress. Keep a notebook and record how often the behavior you want to change occurs, who you were with and how you felt. You’ll see a pattern that you can avoid in the future. If you break a resolution, don’t give up on the effort. See it as an opportunity for self-compassion. Treat yourself kindly. New Year’s resolutions are supposed to make you feel good about yourself. If not keeping them makes you think badly about yourself, they aren’t worth the effort. Work at it, but prioritize your wellbeing.

Hwy 55, a retro-themed diner that features fresh, never-frozen hand-pattied burgers, house-made frozen custard, and other classic favorites in a unique open-kitchen setting, was founded in Goldsboro, North Carolina in 1991. Hwy 55 reflects founder Kenney Moore’s commitment to authentic hospitality and fresh food. Widely known in the state for its fresh food and service that exceeds expectations, the chain won BurgerBusiness.com’s “Best Burger” in 2012.
