FIVE THINGS you can do right now as part of your wellness routine

Cozy Up to Winter
Enjoy the cooler weather — take a brisk, late afternoon walk before settling in with a good book and a cup of tea or cocoa. Better yet, light your fireplace.

Send a Thank You Note
If someone has done something thoughtful or called to check on you, send a hand-written note of thanks.

Make One New Year’s Resolution
Avoid writing a long list of resolutions and instead focus on accomplishing one thing. You’ll feel better for it.

Listen to Bach
Discover the breadth and depth of one of the world’s greatest composers. Play a new selection each day for a week.

Draw Yourself Laughing
Even stick figures count when drawing oneself. Tape your laughing face to the bathroom mirror and begin each day with a little humor.
