How to Have Successful New Year's Resolutions

BETTER SLEEP

We all add “get more sleep” to our resolutions list with the best intentions, but staying consistent? That’s another story.

2025 is the year to rethink your approach to sleep. True rest doesn’t come from logging hours alone—it’s about creating a holistic nighttime routine that supports both body and mind. Start by making bedtime something you look forward to:

• Invest in high-quality sleepwear made from breathable, cozy fabrics.

• Put your phone across the room to eliminate distractions (hello, uninterrupted me-time).

• Add a step to your wind-down routine that you’ll be excited about, such as using a Gua Sha or an ice roller to relieve tension and reduce inflammation.

• Commit to at least 7 hours of sleep per night—your skin, body, and mental health will thank you.

DECLUTTERING CLOSET & STARTING A CAPSULE WARDROBE

Ready to tackle that post-holiday closet chaos? Use the new year as an excuse to declutter and start curating your dream capsule wardrobe. It’s all about timeless, versatile pieces that work season after season.

• Start by clearing out items you haven’t worn in a year. Be honest—if it hasn’t seen the light of day, it’s time to say goodbye.

• Focus on quality fabrics, neutral tones, and silhouettes that make you feel confident.

• Remember: Less is more. A well-curated wardrobe saves you time, reduces decision fatigue, and keeps you looking effortlessly put together.

DECREASE YOUR SCREEN TIME

2025 is the year to break free from the doom-scroll. How much of your day disappears while you’re glued to your screen? Set boundaries that help you reclaim your time and mental space:

• Start small—set app time limits or schedule phone-free hours each evening.

• Replace scrolling with something that serves you: read a book, take a walk, or try a new recipe.

• Remember, less screen time means more you time.

MEDITATE DAILY

Meditation looks different for everyone. Any time makes a difference, whether you have a few minutes during your lunch break or right before you snooze off at night.

• Start your mornings with a guided meditation to center yourself.

• Pair meditation with deep breathing for an easy way to reset anytime, anywhere.

• Are you not sure where to start? There are so many apps that make meditation simple for beginners.

UPGRADE YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE

Clear out expired products or anything holding you back from having your best skin yet, and refresh your skincare for the new year!

• Focus on hydrating, nourishing products that work with your skin, not against it.

• Commit to consistency: healthy, glowing skin doesn’t happen overnight!

• Look for nontoxic, fragrance-free options to mix up your skincare routine. A clean skincare brand like Fount Society is a great option for those looking to refresh their routine thoughtfully.

How to Keep New Year’s Resolutions

• Ask for a Support System: Accountability makes all the difference, whether it’s a workout buddy or your spouse cheering you on. Share your goals with someone who will keep you motivated.

• Track Your Progress: Keep a journal or use an app to log your wins—big or small. Seeing progress over time keeps you inspired to keep going.
• Reward Yourself: Celebrate milestones with things to look forward to. No matter how small the achievement, it’s important to reward yourself!
• Focus on 1-2 Goals at a Time: It’s easy to get overwhelmed trying to do everything at once. Start small, master one or two resolutions, and build from there.

With the right mindset, realistic goals, and a little self-love, your resolutions will go from wishful thinking to everyday habits that will carry with you—long after the month of January. Cheers to your best year yet!
