As January approaches, many of us begin thinking about new goals and habits. Here are simple ways to start fresh with confidence:


Review Your Wins — Write down 3 things you’re proud of from this year

Set Realistic Goals — Small, focused steps lead to big change

Plan Your Health Appointments Early — Annual physical, screenings, and dental visits go on the calendar now

Prioritize Your Well-Being — Add self-care, movement, and mindful rest to your routine

Organize Your Space — A tidy environment can boost clarity and motivation

Connect With Support — Partner with friends, family, or a wellness coach for accountability


A healthier year starts with a plan — and we’re excited to help you build one! 🌱


Healthcare & Market Update

Open Enrollment Period Is Underway — What You Should Know


Right now is a critical time for individuals, families, and small businesses to review and select their health insurance coverage. During the open enrollment window:

  • You can evaluate different coverage plans, check what’s included, and decide what fits your current needs.

  • It’s a great opportunity to update personal information or add dependents before the plan year begins.

  • If you or your family members were previously uninsured or underinsured, this can be the moment to gain access to essential preventive services, screenings, and wellness benefits.


💡 Tip: Make a list of your healthcare needs — from routine check-ups to planned screenings — before you compare plans. That way, you’ll choose coverage that matches your wellness goals.


For more information and to find plans available in Florida, visit your state’s health exchange website or explore community-based enrollment support. Don’t wait — missing the open enrollment deadline could mean waiting another year.
