New Year's Resolutions and Self-Care Tips With Tracey Marchese

'Cuse Conversations

With the arrival of the new year, many people view this as the ideal time to figure out the changes they'd like to see and make in themselves as part of a new year, new you mentality. But as we all know, keeping those resolutions and achieving change is not easy work. It takes commitment, patience and dedication. It can be easy to fail if we make huge, sweeping goals for the new year instead of focusing on a few small, implementable changes. Thankfully, Tracey Marchese, a professor of practice in the School of Social Work in the David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics, is here to help. Marchese is a big proponent of small tweaks leading to sustainable change. She offers tips and best practices for sticking to those New Year's Resolutions, provides self-care and self-help tips to help you achieve the change you want to see, examines how our mental health and well-being impacts our overall well-being, and discusses ways to deal with seasonal affective disorder.
