Ah, New Year's resolutions. The time-honored tradition of making yourself promises that you will break after a month. This year, I am going to make New Year's resolutions that I can definitely stick to for the full year. So far my New Year's resolutions for 2021 have boiled down to:

1. Survive global pandemic
2. Get COVID-19 vaccine when available
3. Wear a mask

According to a survey by Allianz Life, 57% of Americans rank health and wellness as their top priority for 2021, and 61% of Americans said they were more stressed in 2020 compared to the previous year.

“If 2020 taught us anything, it emphasized the idea that anything can happen, and we need to be prepared for the unexpected," said Aimee Johnson from Allianz Life in a news release.

That is the understatement of the year! 

Next year, I hope I will be able to return my regular New Year's resolutions of losing weight and going to the gym. Are you making New Year's resolutions for 2021?
