Author’s Note:
Five, four, three, two, ONE! Each year we begin again with the encouraging words in our own minds and those chanted by marketing promisors, “A new year and a new you. What’s your resolution?” For those industry reports that matter most, Better health, Better fitness, Better nutrition, Better appearance, Better sleep, and Better mindfulness make up the wellness market that we are all watching closely.
In 2024 all signs are pointing toward not just a short promise to make changes but a firm personal commitment to a new way of living. The move toward wellness is on. Where short-cuts to looking good have been on trend for many years, it is now understood that a side-effect of being healthy and living well, is looking good. Where living in the moment no longer means taking major risks but stopping on purpose to recognize where you are standing (or sitting) and taking a purposeful breath.
