This year’s health and wellness issue comes with plenty of friendly advice, on topics including mental health, beginning yoga and how to motivate yourself to meet your goals. Here’s another tip: Don’t try this alone. The social aspects of exercising with a partner or a group provides motivation you won’t find anywhere else. Friends celebrating your nutrition successes keep you going, while you encourage them. You keep showing up because they expect you. Also, support the businesses and organizations that have invested in your health. Join a gym or a studio, take a class, make an appointment with a specialist. For better health, there’s help nearby. – Fletcher Farrar, editor
