As New Years approaches, all of our feeds will soon be filled with goal setting ideas, new year new me posts, and plans for how to stick with our 2021 intentions.

Feeling Zoomed in – Walk it Out!
Are you feeling the effects of being Zoomed in – hyper focused on computer screens in virtual meetings all day long?
