It’s that wonderful time of the year… the one after the "Most Wonderful Time of the Year.” It’s the time when the calendar resets, anything seems possible, and you feel inspired to organize like Marie Kondo, exercise like Serena Williams, and put those wine glasses in storage as your new detox demands water only.
Yes, I’m talking about the beautiful month of January and its’ magical New Year’s resolutions. Living in frigid Chicago myself, they become the best way to distract from the fact the holidays are over and you have a long, long winter ahead. Although I’ve always found resolutions to be a bit constricting, or feel too heavy to sustain for an entire year, I still appreciate the opportunity to take what I’ve learned from the past 12 months and channel that wisdom into a better quality of life.
As a true salesperson at heart, I may take to setting goals more easily than the average person. That said, every January, I love to make goals for the year and divide them up by month. Outlining something to reach for in a realistic timeframe feels like a much more positive way for me to make changes than trying to set definitive rules or restrictions on how to manage my day-to-day routine.
I set five goals for myself each January, centered around things like career, family, or personal needs. I also try to slip in one goal that’s just for fun — something I’m been thinking about, but haven’t gotten the courage to commit to, like, “Here’s hoping 2023 may be the year for my tattoo!” The most important piece to this new year goal-setting exercise is sharing it with someone close to me. I discuss what I’m looking to achieve in the coming year with a friend, family member, or close confidant — a person who will listen, not judge, and be there to check in and support me throughout the year.
The Moment was founded on that same basic principle. Why walk your path alone when you can partner with a trusted ally who will meet you at the moment you’re in, honor all the experiences that got you this far, and then help steer you, step by step, toward your goals?
Whether those goals center around looking or feeling your best, or building the confidence you need to take on the next big challenge, we believe the right clothes have the power to make it happen. On your own, finding clothes that fit and feel right can be as daunting as that New Year’s resolution to “eat healthy.” While the process sounds simple enough, knowing where to start or what’s right for your body can feel overwhelming without the right guide. The Moment offers the support of a community going through the same moment or you can opt for a guidance from a personal advisor who specializes in the specific moment you’re in.
There’s already enough to navigate in our busy lives, figuring out what to wear should not be one of them. Sign up for our newsletter to learn more of The Moment can offer you in the year ahead.
