The new year brings a sense of renewal—a chance to reflect on the past and set intentions for the future.
But how can we turn our New Years resolutions into lasting habits, rather than fleeting aspirations?
Fitness: Start Small, Build Consistency
When it comes to fitness, it’s tempting to set ambitious goals, like running a marathon or achieving a six-pack. While these long-term goals can be motivating, it’s crucial to focus on consistency over perfection.
Start with manageable steps: aim to exercise three times a week, gradually increasing time and intensity as your body adapts. Whether it's Stretch, Pilates, or a daily walk, the key is making movement a non-negotiable part of your routine. Small victories lead to bigger results.
Health: Prioritize Well-Being
Health is more than just exercising—it’s about nurturing your body from the inside out. This year, prioritize sleep, hydration and balanced nutrition. Aim to get 7–8 hours of sleep a night, drink plenty of water and whole nutrient-dense foods.
Set realistic dietary goals, such as incorporating more fruits and vegetables into your meals or reducing processed foods. It’s also important to listen to your body: if something doesn’t feel right, don’t ignore it. Regular check-ups are important for maintaining long-term health.
Happiness: Focus on the Present
True happiness doesn’t come from a checklist of achievements—it’s cultivated through daily choices and mindset shifts. Incorporate activities that bring you joy. Practice gratitude regularly by noticing things you’re thankful for. Make a habit of being present in the moment rather than dwelling on the past or the future. Happiness is a constant journey.
In Summary
New Year’s resolutions are a powerful opportunity to set a positive tone for the year ahead. By focusing on small, consistent changes in fitness, health, and happiness, you’re not just setting yourself up for success—you’re building a foundation for a fulfilling life. Start slow, be kind to yourself, and celebrate every step of progress. After all, it’s not about perfection; it’s about growth and enjoying the ride.
Here are a few intentions I've come up with for 2025:

do singing exercises daily (I'd love to be able to sing well)
continue pushing to recover from my Pain Sensitization Syndrome - it's been 2 yrs :(
