[fl_builder_insert_layout id=”2310″] Each year around New Year’s resolution time at Skyterra Wellness Retreat, we reflect on the past and hope that this year will be the year to get organized, lose weight, quit smoking, spend more time with family, or further our journey to wellness. Every time we set a new goal — and preferably a small goal — it gives us a chance to build confidence and belief that a new normal is possible. But to get after your new normal, thinking differently is required on the way to your complete wellness.  Join us as we discuss resolutions, what can get in the way, and how to focus on goals — and not outcomes — to finally make your resolution happen.
