Everything feels so fresh and possible when the New Year comes around. I just love setting resolutions or what I like to call goals, for myself in the new year. I tend to set at least a couple of big goals as well as smaller, easier goals to work on throughout the year. If you haven’t already checked out my post on How to Crush your New Year’s Goals check it out now to get ideas on how to stay on track all year long.
In the meantime, here are 25 easy New Year’s Resolutions that even the busiest of person can work on throughout the year.
1. Drink 8 glasses of water a day
Or more if you can! Wondering why water is so important to the body, here are 16 Reasons Why Water is Important.
2. Workout at least 30 min 3/week
3. Shop with cash rather then charging
4. Eliminate soda
And if you want to get more serious, eliminate processed sugar totally from your diet
5. Pay off at least one debt
Throw a little extra money towards that bill each month
6. Meal plan at least 3-5 meals a week

7. Get rid of clothes you don’t wear
You know that dress in the back of your closet that you haven’t worn in 10 years, get rid of it.
8. Get rid of clothes your child doesn’t wear
Same for your kids!
9. Clean out old toys
I’m looking at you 100000 piece Lego sets.
10. De-clutter your home
You’ll feel so much better when you live a more minimalist lifestyle
11. Give up negative feelings
They are only dragging you down
12. Cut out toxic people
These people will also bring you down
13. Read at least 1 book a month
So many good ones out there. Grab one and dive in then share them with me if you love it!
14. Save more money
Try and save at least $150.00/month.
15. Try one new workout a month
Hot yoga, Pilates, cycling, or CrossFit. Whatever you have thought about trying for a workout, now is the time to get out there and give it a go.
16. Eat cleaner foods
This goes along with cutting out sugar. Wondering what clean eating is? 7 Tips for Clean Eating to get you started.
17. Try one new fun activity with your kids a month
18. Spend more time with friends
Life can be so busy sometimes but try and take some time to reach out more to friends and spend more time with them.
19. Limit social media use
This is one that I am working on myself.
20. Get more sleep
Or attempt to because we all know #momlife and life in general can be exhausting!
21. Prioritize skin care
Especially washing your face prior to bed time.
22. Limit alcohol consumption
23. Become more organized
This is a big one I am going to be working on.
24. Stop comparing yourself to others
Everyone has a different journey in life and you need to stop comparing yours to someone else’s.
25. Let go of the stuff you can’t control
This is my number one goal for this year. Thinking too much about or being overly upset about things you can’t control can just bring you down. I want to start my new year fresh and let go of the things that upset me in the past.
Let me know what is on your resolution list this year!
All of these are excellent resolutions. I plan to incorporate most of these into my routine especially the ones related to self care and staying out of debt.
I love your New Years Resolution list…I need to add 2, 7, 8,9, and 12 to my list!
I barely drink any water, so that one will be hard for me haha. Also limiting social media is difficult when your work is on it, but I am going to try to be mindful with my data use.
I do try not to be too hard on myself If I can not meet my new year resolutions but this is because I know I do have resolutions every beginning of every month.
Good goals. Be strong. I like number 20 too, we all need to be have control of our lives, it gives us peace of mind.
This is such a great list of suggestions. Several of these points are on my mental list already. Seeing them in writing makes them stick even better. Thank you!
Yes yes yes! These are things I want to improve on or start doing for the new year. Some of these I’ve already been doing, but not consistent enough to form a habit
I had so many New Years resolution every year, But these were really a great list. This makes more motivated for the upcoming year.
This is something that I need to add on my resolutions list too. Thank you for sharing. Hope this 2019 will be a great year for all of us.

Thanks for the great resolutions. I want to start working out and start to grab books from my near library. And also I want to improve my sleep time.Thanks for sharing.
Some brilliant ideas here, the Goodreads Challenge is good for sticking to the reading goal.
These are indeed great resolutions! The world would be a better place if everyone did just that.. happy new year!
Happy New Year to you. May you get more views this year. I’m excited to read more of your articles. More power to you. 🙂
I’m really in need of most of these suggestions especially 25 I always beat up myself about stuff I can’t accomplish though I knew from the beginning that it was impossible to do,But I will be more acceptable of the reality and push away negative energy 💗
I should probably attempt all of these but I’ll start with drinking more water and limiting my social media use.
Happy New Year.
I think my favorite thing about this list is that it is very doable. I may not be ready to give up the soda though 😉 I would love to try one new activity with my child a month or so. Or take them so place new! Thanks for sharing
I love this healthy new resolutions, this year I want to read more books I want to do pottery and I also want to get my blog exposure
Nice choice of resolutions. It’s easy to keep up with the list 🙂
Waw. I really love this post. Brilliant tips to follow as a mother of two and thank you for sharing. I should start following the rules now itself.
It’s such an amazing list. Firstly i guess i’ll rush and clean my closet and can’t agree on point 19 as im a social media manager! :p
I’m doing most of these things as this past year was a big self-care time for me. I’d love to start reading more, try a new kind of exercise program/class and limit my social media use. You came up with a wonderful list!
Great tips for New Years resolutions! A good mix of physical and mental health! I need to finalize mine for the year and theses were great suggestions!
You’re so right about drinking more water! It’s the easiest resolution to follow. I’ll also be decluttering more this year, it’s so therapeutic and you have more space to play with!
I need to start drinking 8 Glasses of water per day. Thanks for reminding me! I wish you good luck in achieving all these resolutions 🙂
I feel the same about New Year’s resolution….there’s so much positivity in setting goals and looking back allows everyone to reflect on what had been a blessed previous year…..I like you setting a realistic goal….it’s achievable….
Your post made me smile. All these resolutions are so easy, practical, and very genuine.
These are great resolutions. I have quite a few already, mainly surrounding my health since it’s not the best. I may have to add the water thing since I’m useless at doing so. Let’s hope for a good year.
That are some excellent resolutions. I wanna cut off my sugar and shred some weight !!!! Also I have promised myself to go to one place every month where I have never been to.
This was such a great post! You provided so many simple changes that can really help in the long run and are easy to follow.
