Today.com released a list of 35 New Year's Resolutions that you can actually keep, we wanted to share a few to help you get a start on yours!
Pause on purpose daily
Each and every day, take a moment to reflect and breathe. This can include taking a few moments to pause and just breathe, doing yoga, or anything that helps you take a minute to relax and breathe.
Choose a “word of the year”
Embrace a word that resonates with you and make it your guiding mantra for the year ahead. It can be a word, or a statement that resonates with you.
Eat mindfully
Yes, your food should be savored and not slurped up in a few seconds. “Mindfulness can be applied to eating and is associated with positive health benefits. When we appreciate our food, eat with enjoyment and tune into our appetites, we tend to feel better, and we often lose weight as a result,” Lisa Young, PhD, RDN, and author of "Finally Full, Finally Slim," tells TODAY.com.
Forgive yourself
Throughout the year, you extend forgiveness to loved ones and strangers — but what about yourself? Take care of yourself mentally, and learn to be easier on yourself. This doesn't happen overnight but remember it takes time.
Write in a daily gratitude journal
Head to Target and buy a gratitude journal, folks. Or use your phone, if you must. Set reminders if needed to remind you to use it. Habits take time to develop, so be easy on yourself.
