ROCKLAND COUNTY TIMES: Tips on how to achieve your new year’s resolution according to an expert

 


The new year is approaching soon and with that comes new beginnings and the brand new you.

While it may be easier for some, It may be hard for others to make adjustments into their everyday lives, even the smallest of changes.

Dr. Jennifer Buchwald, a clinical psychologist at the Hudson Valley Center for Cognitive Therapy, spoke with The Rockland County Times to share her advice on how one can stick to their new year’s resolutions.

"It’s really helpful to make a specific plan for how you’re going to make the change. Write down your reasons for making the change, so you can read your list over when you’re feeling tempted to do the behavior you’re trying not to do,” she said.

Cait's Plate: Conwell Coffee Hall...Can we just toast to this aesthetic toast?

Conwell Coffee Hall, located at 6 Hanover Street, is a coffee shop and eatery in Life and Trust, a performing arts center.  photo credit: Cait Malilay From the moment I walked through the revolving door and up those steps, I was immersed back in time to the 1920s. I was greeted by a large art deco painting. photo credit: Cait Malilay I take a look at the menu and see the typical cafe assortment of coffee and teas, but wait...there's a whole section labeled "TOASTS?"

Cait's Plate: Pasta de Pasta - The place to indulge your pasta cravings

photo credit: Cait Malilay Pasta de Pasta, located at 192 1st Ave., is a new restaurant that opened in East Village last June. If you're a pasta lover and you're looking for a reasonably priced dish, then this is the place for you. You can get a fresh in-house pasta for as low as $9.90. I heard about this place on Instagram and I knew I just had to try it for myself. Customers are given the option of their sauce and any additional toppings.

The restaurant is very inviting and there is a window where you can witness the magic that goes into making it.   photo credit: Cait Malilay I'll be honest, the first time that I went there, the pasta was hot, but the noodles were a little sticky. My second visit was...
