Let’s be real—life can feel overwhelming at times, but what if this year you approached it differently?
These 7 simple practices might just change the way you feel by the end of 2025.
1. Be Frugal
We don’t talk about the F word (frugal!) enough. Everywhere you look, something’s grabbing for your attention—and your wallet. But here’s the thing: money is energy, and when you spend it carelessly, you’re draining yourself. This year, focus on saving where you can and spending intentionally on what truly matters.
2. Contribute 1%
Whether it’s time or money, giving back feels damn good. Just 1% of your week (90 minutes) can make a world of difference. Volunteer, donate to a cause, or help out your local community—it’s about connection and impact.
3. Time Block Your Phone
Let’s face it—our nervous systems weren’t built for the constant ping of notifications. Try this: check your phone only three times a day—morning, midday, and evening. Pop it on aeroplane mode the rest of the time. Trust me, the world will still be there, and you’ll have so much more mental space.
4. Sit in Stillness Daily
Stillness is your reset button. You don’t need to “do it right” or overthink it—just sit. Breathe. Let the chaos settle. If you can make time for this daily (even for 10 minutes), you’ll notice how grounded and clear-headed you feel.
5. Plant a Tree Every Month
It’s simple, it’s cheap, and it’s impactful. One tree, every month. Imagine what that could do if we all did it! Plus, it’s an excuse to get your hands in the dirt and reconnect with nature.
6. Cut Back on Alcohol
This one’s personal. If a glass of wine or a beer brings you joy, enjoy it. But if it’s becoming a crutch, maybe this is the year to explore alternatives. You might be surprised by how much better you feel with fewer hangovers and more clarity.
7. Move to the Point of Sweat
Your body is your home—it deserves love and care. Move it in a way that feels good, whether that’s yoga, a run, a hike, or just dancing in your living room. Aim to sweat three times a week, and watch how your energy shifts.
Which of these resonates with you the most?
