| |  | | | | Resolutions you'll actually keep | | 🌲 Spend more time outside | | Fresh air can help relieve stress, elevate mood, and lower blood pressure. Walk during lunch breaks, hike on weekends, or sit in your backyard. Even 15 minutes daily counts, but aim for a little more. | | 📵 Limit screen time | | Too much scrolling links to depression, anxiety, and loneliness. Set boundaries: no phones during meals, screens off an hour before bed, or designated phone-free activities. Your brain will thank you. | | 🤫 Stop negative self-talk | | That harsh inner critic chips away at confidence. When you catch yourself thinking "I always mess things up," try reframing it to "I'm learning, and it's OK to make mistakes." Speak to yourself like you would a friend. | | 🌃 Get quality sleep | | Sleep deprivation can increase the risk of weight gain, heart disease, and depression. The fixes are simpler than you think. Dim the lights an hour before bed, avoid evening caffeine, and keep your bedroom cool and dark to support better sleep. | | 🎨 Try a new hobby | | Remember the activities you loved before life got busy? Pick one back up or try something completely new. Hobbies can help reduce stress, boost creativity, and even spark joy. The goal isn't mastery or making money — it's simple enjoyment. | | Our full article includes 18 more sustainable resolutions across movement, mental health, and preventive care, each designed to last beyond January and make 2026 your year of wellness. Check it out below. | | | | 💨 Over to you: What will you make your most stick-able resolution in 2026?
