Edmond Life & Leisure Our next issue will mark the start our news coverage for 2019. We hope it’s a prosperous and happy new year for all of our readers. Please don’t forget that in January we’ll be releasing our annual Calendar of Events special section. It’s a perfect way to keep up with what’s happening in Edmond and the metro area. You’ll want to hang onto it all year long. As usual if you have a story, or know someone who deserves recognition, please e-mail us with the details at news@edmondpaper.com. We look forward to covering our community and the wonderful people here who make this town special. Looking for ideas to make 2019 special? A recent report listed these ideas. n Write down your goals. According to Forbes Magazine, vividly describing goals in written
form is strongly associated with goal success, and people who very vividly describe or picture their goals are more likely to accomplish their goals than people who don’t. n Read a book a month. To keep your brain active, take some time away for yourself and enter the “magical world of reading.” n Why not use 2019 to clean up the home’s clutter? If you haven’t worn a clothing item in the closet for the past 12 months, it’s not likely you will. Why not donate it to the Salvation Army? n If you haven’t done it in the past it might be a good time to think about an exercise program and eating healthy. n The next year might be an ideal opportunity to reconnect with people. In other words put down the phone and consider playing board or parlor games with close friends or family.
n Make sure you get enough sleep. It’s said most humans need eight to 10 hours of quality sleep every night. Waking up refreshed is a great way to start a day. n Establishing priorities is a good idea also. Everyone should look at where they spend their time. People outgrow some activities. Ask yourself if you’re getting a return on your investment of time, money and energy. n If you’re not supporting a cause, then 2019 could be the perfect time to start. Whether it’s children, animals or veterans, you can pay it forward and give back. Each week in Edmond Life & Leisure we list many organizations and people needing a helping hand. There are many ways to get involved. Almost everyone who does give back usually says later that they’ve benefited more than the group they helped. Once again, Happy 2019 everyone!
