How to Plan for 2021 After a Chaotic Year
What are your big plans for 2021? After a year like this one, it feels like “having plans” could be a bit of a stretch. With new restrictions coming into place here in California and in places around the world, it seems we’re not out of the woods yet. Although that backpacking trip around Europe will certainly have to wait, you don’t have to put a hold on your life. In fact, there are plenty of things you can still adequately plan for, regardless of whatever 2021 has in store for us.
Plan for Health
A new year’s resolution favorite, there’s never a bad time to start trying to be healthier. The great outdoors has much to offer in this regards. And if you’re lucky enough to live in California, you don’t have to put your exercise on hold just because the gyms are shut down. There are plenty of activities to be done outside, and the weather permits it. If you’re in an area with a colder climate — well, pick up a winter sport. Or maybe your gyms aren’t even closed. The point is, in 2021, we’d be best off focusing on what we can control, not on the places we can’t go. So get in shape and get ready for what life will be like in the not so distant future when airlines don’t reserve the middle seat for nobody.
