When it comes to New Year’s, some people strive for personal success. New Year’s resolutions are a great way to better yourself through personal challenges and goals. With many to choose from, here are some of the best New Year’s resolutions for women to consider.
Cut Down on Social Media
Social media has its benefits; you can keep track of family, friends, and loved ones as time goes on. You can also use various platforms to show others how you’re living life to its fullest. Still, although social media can be a fun, engaging medium, especially for younger users, it’s also detrimental to your mental health. Many researchers find overwhelming evidence to support the claim that social media affects self-image, self-esteem, and social awareness. With the prevalence of cyberbullying and toxic subcultures, it’s perfectly natural to take a break from social media to give your mind some rest. Not to mention, use this time to live your own experiences rather than through your phone.
Journal Your Thoughts
If you’re someone who doesn’t write down their thoughts, feelings, or ideas, now’s the time to do so. Keep a journal handy to collect your thoughts. Simply writing down your thoughts or feelings allows you to understand them more clearly. It also is a great coping mechanism for depression, anxiety, and stress. As you track these feelings, you’re able to process and cope through them with it on paper versus floating around in your head.
Exercise
Another one of the best New Year’s resolutions for women is exercise. Whether it’s at a gym or in the comfort of your own home, there are many ways to get in shape and perfect your body. Exercise is a great way to release endorphins, feel good hormones, and alleviate stress and depression. The more you exercise—paired with a healthy balanced diet—the better you feel. There are also many accessories you can use to build your dream body. Waist trainers, for instance, help you sweat more, lose stubborn body fat, and achieve a curvaceous figure to boost your self-esteem. Use this time to build a better you for the new year.
Treat Yourself More
Some women struggle with coordinating a healthy work-life balance. If you’re a busybody who overwhelms herself with work, one New Year’s resolution to consider is treating yourself more to things you enjoy. This may include more vacations, gifts, meals out, or a relaxing staycation in the comfort of your home. While everyone needs to work to support themselves, don’t forget to allow yourself some personal time. Go to the spa, relax in a library, or visit friends, family, and loved ones. Perfecting your work-life balance will leave you feeling more relaxed and focused on yourself.
