Woman touching her toes.

I'll be honest, I didn't set any New Year's Resolutions this year - which is probably a first for me. Rather than set myself up for failure, I decided to focus on easy, manageable goals. Scrolling through my TikTok feed, I kept spotting a new concept - "Soft January" - popping up repeatedly, which got me wondering if a gentler reset was what I'd been missing.
