Many of us became addicted to saying ‘very demure, very mindful’ during 2024 thanks to Jools Lebron’s viral TikTok post, but how can we bring the premise of this catchphrase into 2025?. Being mindful is all about being present, conscious and aware, and the practice of mindfulness itself is a huge part of wellness culture.
So, here are seven easy micro resolutions that will help you tackle the upcoming year in a mindful manner…. 1. Find solitude. “Solitude can also be found through mindful walks in nature or taking intentional breaks from technology. Walking in natural surroundings invites us to engage our senses, observe our environment, and reconnect with the world in a peaceful, grounding way.”.
2. Try meditation. 3. Keep a gratitude journal. Keeping a gratitude journal can be a great way to see the joy in small things. 4. Track your energy not your time. 5. Cold water exposure. “Alternatively, plunging your face into a bowl of iced water (known as the mammalian dive response) switches the nervous system into the calming, parasympathetic mode (rest and digest state). Doing this regularly is well evidenced to decrease blood pressure, regulate mood and anxiety, improve energy levels and blood glucose levels.”.
6. Try ‘eating the frog’. “Research from Intuit QuickBooks shows 63% of people find tasks like doing their tax returns stressful, and over half (55%) admit they procrastinate – it’s no surprise the beginning of the year can feel really overwhelming. Procrastination only increases the difficulty – address these tasks head-on and see the world of difference it makes.”.
