Plus, as the pandemic continues, resolutions for staying happy and healthy are as important as ever.In the first episode of 2021, Lori shares tips for being successful with creating new goals, as well as 10 New Year’s resolution ideas for seniors who need inspiration.

- New Year’s resolutions
- Organization for seniors

- Medication tips for seniors
- Staying healthy as a senior
- Tips for reaching goals

Takeaways from this episode:

- Goals are more attainable when you keep yourself accountable with realistic expectations, a vision board, and an accountability partner.
- Plan to become organized, whether you meet with an elder law attorney for will planning, schedule medical and dental appointments, or make a list of all medications for easy reference.
- Stay healthy, both mentally and physically: It’s always a good idea to continue learning and find ways that you can be active (in a way that makes sense for you).
- Make sure your home is decluttered and fall-proof. Falling and breaking something is one of the quickest ways to lose independence.
- Embrace technology to find joy, whether it’s to watch a new movie or connect with friends and family.
