Start small. The smaller the goal, the bigger the impact it can have on your life and the more likely you will see it through.
Whether it's self-care, learning something new, or just trying to be a better person overall, you can achieve those goals and a brighter future for yourself.
I've come up with 50 NY resolutions (with the help of some articles I read in Woman's Day Magazine, Very Well Mind, and The Pioneer Woman) that might help and encourage you on your journey.
- Develop a skincare routine.
- Relax.
- Be more mindful of your health. There are a ton of apps to help you.

- Sleep more.

Travel, even if it’s to the next town over.
