New year, New beginning


Every year, many people make New Year's resolutions, promises to improve themselves.  While the idea is great, most resolutions fail.


We make resolutions because a new year feels like a fresh start.  It's a chance to change, and that feeling is motivating.  But our brains are not naturally good at changing habits.  Habits are like well-worn paths in our brains, it takes effort to create new ones.  Plus, we often set goals that are too big, making it hard to stay motivated.  If we slip up, we might give up completely.



I will make my goals Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound.  Instead of "eat healthier," i’ll "eat one more serving of vegetables each day."Big goals are overwhelming.  I will divide them into smaller, easier steps. Setbacks happen. I will tell friends or family about my goals. Having others to help you stay on track makes a big difference.


 Making resolutions work isn't about willpower alone. It's about understanding how our brains work and planning carefully to make lasting changes.  Small, consistent steps are more effective than huge, unrealistic leaps.

This landmark legislation recognizes the multifaceted nature of violence, encompassing physical, sexual, psychological, and economic abuse. RA 9262 provides crucial legal remedies and protections for victims,   Protection Orders: The law establishes three types of protection orders: Barangay Protection Order (BPO), Temporary Protection Order (TPO), and Permanent Protec...
