As an Occupational therapist we practice that motivation and confidence is necessary for completing a task to a good standard.

To re-connect, rebalance, or rejuvenate ourselves?   I wonder how many times we have made similar promises but somehow found ourselves at a minute to midnight rehashing some old year’s promise.
