It is time to kick off 2017… are you ready? I have decided to skip resolutions for the first year EVER. Instead, I am focusing on monthly goal setting. Basically, I love resolutions SO MUCH that I decided I want to make them 12 times a year, instead of only once. If you are looking for some healthy & happy tips to make 2017 your best year ever, I’ve got you covered!
25 Tips to Make 2017 Your Best Year Ever!
1. Get More Sleep! Sleep is SO important, so set a bedtime and STICK TO IT!
2. Exercise 3 times a week. Bring on the endorphins!
3. Try meditation.
4. Start a Thankful Journal. Each night write down 10 things you are thankful for.
5. Master time management. Figure out where your time is going and if you are using it wisely.
6. Create a vision board.
7. Eat more probiotics.
8. Clean out your closet. (not sure where to start? Check out the Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up)
9. Schedule doctor’s appointments with your primary, your gyno and the dentist.
10. Try to learn something new every week.
11. Make self-care a priority.
12. Wake up early. (check out Miracle Morning)
13. Create a budget and stick to it.
14. Save more money this year than you did last year.
15. Plan a girls night once a month.
16. Throw out old makeup and toiletries.
17. Write & send a letter to someone you love once a month. (you can try for once a week if you are feeling ambitious)
18. Plan regular date nights with your husband. (even if your “date” is a movie on the couch once the kids go to bed)
19. Unplug from social media at least one weekend a month.
20. Say “Yes” to your kids more. (check out this great post from Kristen over at Mommy in Sports)
21. Find a planner that works for you and USE it. (I am actually trying a bullet journal this year… stay tuned for a post on that!)
22. Unsubscribe to emails you no longer need/use.
23. Start weekly meal planning. It will save you money & time.
24. Read more. (or listen to audio books)
25. Make an effort to focus on the POSITIVE in every situation.
I hope I inspired you to make some healthy changes in 2017. A few of my own goals include: Hop on Facebook Live twice a month, build my email subscribers, spend less time on my phone, more time with my kids and get back to waking up at 5am. 🙂

I love the idea of starting a “Thankful Journal”! I think I will do that this year! 🙂
Thanks for sharing your wonderful list.
Yaas personally love #3 and #4. thanks for sharing xo
Love all of these! I just read a study the other day that positive people live longer. These are all excellent suggestions to get your year off to a positive start.
I am going to start using a planner and also plan my meals BEFORE going to the grocery store!
More sleep is definitely something I’ve been working on and realizing just how important it is the older I get – and the older my kids get! 🙂 I’m working on carving out more time to read as well. Great list! Happy New Year to you!
Great post!! I need to do so many of these things in the upcoming year starting with #11. Love that one.
These are excellent tips – so much to be more mindful of this year! I definitely want to read more this year – I have a list of books and magazines just stacking up because I never make time for it!

Yes to ALL of these! Especially sleep, and a monthly girls night!
These are such great ideas!! I’m definitely going to create a vision board – I’ve been reading a ton on them and I think it’ll really help!!
I am going to print out this list and put it into my planner.
I really agree with the sleep thing. I do not get enough sleep at all and I need it to make the new year better.
What a wonderful list! I definitely need to work on a few of these, like the Girl’s Night and definitely a date night with City Spouse. I get so busy with everything that we never seem to get time together. (Yes, I’m accepting responsibility for this one. LOL)
Thank you so much for such a comprehensive list.
*Hugs*
Thanks for sharing this wonderful list. There isn’t a single thing on this list that I would NOT want to do. I feel inspired and ready for 2017 already!!
Yay!! I was hoping to inspire with this post! have a wonderful new year!
Love your tip to read more! I just read a study that millionaires read at least 2 non-fiction books a month…that’s dedication!
I love reading, so it was fun to make more time for it this year! (something I am going to continue doing in 2017)
I LOVE this post, especially unsubscribe! Thanks for including my post!
These are all really good ideas. I see a few that are already on my to do list : )
I definitely will be doing several of your suggestions in the coming year. Thanks for the inspiration.
That makes me happy to hear! Happy New Year!
Such a lovely post! You know these tips inspire and make believe that 2017 will be great! Thanks!
Glad I gave you some inspiration! Happy New Year!
There are a lot of things on this list that I need to start doing more. My goal is start mediating more, planning out our meals and spending more unplugged time with our kiddos. Great list!
Mediating has made a big difference for me as far as reducing my stress and anxiety. I only do 5 minutes at a time too 🙂
Great tips! Thanks!
I need to do ALL of this! I love these goals they are all so beneficial and practical!
Even just adding a few can make a big difference! Happy New Year!
Several of these are my resolutions for this year. I will read more to fill my own bucket so I have more creative energy to share on my blog and mommy energy to give to my kiddos. I got a line a day journal to start this year, and I’m really excited about it. Obviously, we can’t tackle ALL these things at once, but picking one at a time is a GREAT way to make the year great. Thanks for the inspiration!
I made a point to read more this year and it really made me happy, so I do hope you make time for yourself to do that as well since we need to take care of ourselves too! 🙂
Love these! I have been slacking in the sleep department while starting up my blog, but I need to get back on track. Sleep is so important!!!
Sleep is the one thing I always struggle with myself. Sometimes late night is the only time I get for myself, so even though I KNOW I should go to bed, it is hard!
I love this list. It would be great to tackle one thing each day!
That is a great idea! Happy New Year!
I love that some of these are so simple but could make a big difference!
I hope I inspired you to give a few a try! 🙂
Fantastic list! I love the idea of sending a letter once a month. I’ve actually thought about doing that for a few friends who love receiving mail, haha!
It’s a good one. I do it every once in awhile and it makes people so happy. I am going to really try to meet that once a month goal. 🙂
Exercise. Yes. I need to do that. And sleep as well. If only my 18 month old would get on board with that one!
Love the tips! Those are some great ones. Thanks so much and hope your new year is the best yet!
This is the perfect list!! I need to add a lot of these to my planner so that I actually follow through!
