It is time to kick off a new year… are you ready? I love the fresh start that a new year brings, so I am a total vision board/resolution loving gal. Whether you are into new year’s goals or not, I have created a list of 25 healthy & happy tips to make this next year the best one yet! Try it!
25 Tips to Make This 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.

6. Create a vision board.

I hope I inspired you to make some healthy changes. A few of my own goals include: Spend less time on Instagram (I am beyond obsessed with Instastories) by putting my phone in a drawer as soon as I get home from work, read 30 books, continue to detoxify my home by getting rid of products with nasty chemicals and endocrine disruptors. ๐

I love how everyone is decluttering this year! I too am following Mari Kondo and just gave 4 huge bags of clothes to Lotus House. ๐
I’ve started a series on my blog, you should check it out! I’ll be writing about my decluttering progress as it happens.
Lauren says
Yes I read the book a few years ago and I swear rolling my clothes is a game changer!
Jessica Wills says
I don’t know how you did it in the beginning, but the first one with a lot of sleep is really hard, especially with a new born.
And i find it super hard to get to the gym and workout when i’m sleep depraved (this might only be me who has it like that)
Would really love to hear how you did? and if you do have any tips, to either get more / better sleep with a new born… or maybe i’ll just have to wait to 2020 to make that my best year.
Lauren says
I think with a newborn you are in survival mode. Doe the first year with both my kids I just focused on them (and work) and my self care just had to wait. Both my kids were horrible sleepers, but then they grew out of it and that is when I was able to get back into a routine. ๐
