Have a bedtime routine 

Getting into the habit of making a nightly routine can be very beneficial in the long run. Having a set schedule of when you would like to be in bed by, can set the tone for the things you do during the day leading up to that point. Make a list of all the things you need to do before you get into bed (brush your teeth, wash your face, etc,) and make this your "wind down" time.

Get a lot of sleep 

Not only is a nightly routine a good habit to form, making sure you get enough sleep is even more important. Everyone knows how important getting a good nights rest is but this is something a lot of us struggle with. If you make sleep a top priority, it can lead to a healthier day-to-day lifestyle.

Set daily move goals

I love having my Apple Watch for this reason! I have daily move goals and reminders set to encourage me throughout the day. It's really important to try to stay active and do as much in your daily schedule as you can, but remember, it's OK to start small and work your way up.

Make time for self-care

Making a self-care plan is something everyone needs for their well-being. It can be something small like lighting your favorite candle, taking a bubble bath or going for a walk, or it can be reading a new book or taking classes to learn something. This is a time you set apart for yourself, even if it is only 20 minutes a day.

Be forgiving 

I've always been told that holding grudges hurts you more than the other person, so this year try to let go of negative things you've been harboring. It's OK to not completely forget about the pain someone has caused you but do yourself a favor and learn to overcome the negative thoughts to find more positive ones.

Set realistic expectations

This can count towards many aspects of your life; dating, diets, life goals, etc. If you have an unrealistic expectation in your head of how you want things to play out, you will always be disappointed with the outcome. It is so important to stay level headed and have reasonable expectations in order to accomplish your goals and have good relationships with others.

Stay hydrated

I'm sure you have all heard this one before but it's important to drink plenty of water every day! Water has so many health benefits and this is probably the easiest thing to accomplish on this list, so why not do it? Staying hydrated can lead to clear skin, prevents kidney damage, weight loss, increased energy and so much more.

P.S. — Stay away from soda!!!
