Start Fresh This New Year
As the calendar flips to a new year, it's the perfect time to embrace the opportunity to prioritise your health, happiness and wellbeing. Set yourself goals, create new habits, and embrace self-care like never before. Here are five top tips to make 2025 your happiest and healthiest year yet.
1. Clear your mental fog and start to glow, from head to toe
In buzz of our busy lives, our mental wellbeing often takes a back seat. This year, make it a priority. Practice mindfulness through daily meditation, journaling, or even simple deep-breathing exercises. Taking just a few minutes each day to check in with yourself can help reduce stress, improve focus, and boost overall happiness.
Tip: Try starting your day with five minutes of gratitude journaling, where you list things you're grateful for. This can set a positive tone for your day and enhance your mindset.
2. Self care skincare is in!
Self care and skin care go hand in hand. Not only are you nurturing your skin and looking after it’s appearance, you are allowing yourself the time to relax and unwind after a busy day. This daily pamper is good for your skin and your soul.
Tip: Use the Clinique moisture surge set for gorgeously soft and hydrated skin
3. Let’s get physical
Exercise isn’t just about looking good, it’s about feeling good, too. Regular physical activity improves mood, boosts energy, and supports long-term health. Whether it’s a morning jog, a dance class, or even stretching during your workday, make movement a non-negotiable part of your routine.
Tip: Walking is great way to move your body while getting to enjoy the benefits of fresh air. Whether it’s 20 minutes round the block on your lunch break, or a mountain adventure at the weekend. Don’t forget to be prepared with the right footwear, like these Trespass and Karrimor walking shoes and boots.
4. Surround yourself with good vibes and great people
Invest time in building and nurturing relationships with family, friends, and loved ones. Enjoy quality time together, whether that means regular phone calls, weekend get togethers, or simply being present in the conversation. Positive social interactions can boost your mood and provide support during challenging times.
Tip: Schedule regular catch-ups with loved ones, even if it’s just a quick chat or a coffee date.
5. You’ve got to snooze to shine
There’s no better feeling than waking up feeling well rested, plus a full night’s sleep is crucial for both mental and physical health. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep each night and establish a calming night time routine to ensure quality rest.
Tip: Create a relaxing bedtime routine, like reading a book, taking a relaxing bath and ensuring you have the cosiest of bedding to snuggle up in to. We love this teddy fleece electric blanket, perfect for keeping warm all night long.
