7 . Purge a drawer or shelf . My house has gotten so cluttered . Just the thought of tackling it is overwhelming . But I can do a drawer or shelf at a time . Put on some music and take a few minutes to tackle that junk drawer or one rack of your closet . Sort into keep , toss and donate piles . Get that section in order and move on to another next time .
8 . Move your body more . Exercise is good for body and mind . A gym membership , personal trainer or large chunk of time aren ’ t necessary , though .
• Just commit to move more .
• Dance while you make dinner .
• Do some yoga stretches .
• Invite friends to meet at the park for a walk .
I love doing exercise DVDs in the living room with my daughter . I ’ ve gotten out of habit , but it ’ s one of my top New Year ’ s goals because I know movement makes me feel better in every way .
9 . Give your phone a bedtime . I spend way too much time on my phone scrolling through social media , shopping for things I don ’ t need or Googling random topics . A bed time for my phone means more true relaxation and an earlier bedtime for me . Who is with me ? When should our devices go to bed ? I ’ m thinking 7 p . m .
10 . Take yourself on a date . Find someone else to care for the kids for the afternoon and spend a few hours on you . Go to a bookstore . Get a pedicure . See a movie . Whatever it is you like to do . Be a great date to yourself . These are little goals that might just lead to big positive changes . Aren ’ t they so much less daunting then New Year ’ s Resolutions ?
