New Year's Resolutions that aren't Weight Loss

Let’s kick the new year off with resolutions that add to our lives and do not subtract from it.  

According to Statista, the top 3 most common new year’s resolutions are to include more exercise in their life, lose weight, and improve their diet. More often than not, there is pressure to choose a resolution like this, We are Nutrified want to share with you some alternative resolutions to enrich your life. This year we are making a stand to only make resolutions that make positive additions, rather than subtract, let’s live life bigger and better than ever 

Recapture a Hobby 

Life is busy... but who says you have to say goodbye to hobbies that fill your heart with joy. This year, set yourself goals in hobbies that make you feel great! Whether that’s learning to sew, writing an e-book, joining a sports team, starting a new collection, becoming an activist for something you believe in or learning to play an instrument. Whatever makes your heart sing!  

Grow your own fruit and vegetables  

This goes hand in hand with our eco revolution that’s going on over on our social pages, but why not learn to grow your own fruit and vegetables? It’s eco-friendly, creates a sustainable all-year-round food chain, you get to learn a new skill and finally, but most importantly, you are rewarded with delicious fruits and vegetables. What’s not to love? 

Go plastic free  

Do something great for yourself and the planet. Take time researching new brands and alternatives to current products. For example, switching your shampoo bottle for a shampoo bar, or replacing your plastic water bottle with a refillable durable metal bottle.  

We are Nutrified is a plastic-free brand that we think you’ll love, including minimally packaged beauty and cosmetics, and refillable daily dietary supplements.  

Choose mindful exercise 

Generally, the rule for exercise is ‘bigger, better, faster, stronger', but not this year. We are making it our mission to choose an exercise that makes us feel good both mentally and physically. Some slower-paced but as productive exercise activities include: 

• Tai Chi 
• Yoga 
• Ballet and Dance 
• Trampoline or Gymnastics 
• Social running clubs 
• Social walking clubs 
• Aerobics 
• Swimming 
• Cycling 

It's important that with this type of exercise you are prioritising feeling and wellness over challenge and goals. If the exercise doesn’t leave you feeling great, with a yearning for more then it might be best to search for a new activity that leaves you feeling amazing! 

Learn a new language for a trip 

Broaden your mind with the prospect of adventure and learning a new language. Set yourself the challenge of learning the basics of a new language. Give yourself a year, book a flight to that destination and reward all your hard work and tireless efforts to become a multilingual victor! Ring Ring...who’s that calling...France, Italy, Spain, Peru, Thailand and more... 

Take Care of your Health, not your weight 

Often, the word ‘health’ and weight are used interchangeably, this is not correct. There are many ways to look after your health, but that doesn’t include losing weight. For example, you could: 

• Invest in good dental care 
• Get regular check-ups with a chiropractor 
• Book in with the Opticians 
• Meet new friends at a social group or hobby 
• Treat yourself to a regular massage 
• Check-in with a therapist 
• See your friends regularly, and chat on the phone 
• Take part in mindful exercise 
• Take your daily supplements, from We are Nutrified
