2020 has been a lot of things, but for most of us, “good” is not one of them. A global pandemic, civil unrest, heated politics and other factors have left an overwhelming majority of the population feeling deflated, stressed and out of control. That said, while there is no telling what is in store for 2021, you can take back control of your life by making a list of healthy and actionable New Year’s resolutions for the coming year.
We know what you’re thinking … You made a list last year but 2020 still happened. This is all the more reason to be deliberate in your goal setting and to resolve to do things that will have a real impact on your immediate and long-term health and happiness. Here are a few ideas to inspire you.
Practice Self-Care
With the world in such a state of turmoil, it’s more important than ever to take time out for yourself every day and do something you enjoy. This could be something as simple as waking up 30 minutes early to read a couple of chapters out of a novel or setting aside 15 minutes in the evening for a period of meditation and reflection. Making time for yourself, even if it’s just a few minutes, can drastically reduce your stress and improve your overall outlook on current events and life in general. Below are a few self-care tricks we’re happy to help you with:
• Take a staycation at your local spa or hotel and use your AAA membership to score hot travel deals.
• Take in dinner and a show with friends or a significant other and save on food and tickets.
• Spoil yourself on a budget by shopping from our top partners.
Take Care of Your Health
Your health is and always has been your most valuable asset.
