New Year's resolutions are historically tough to keep up with.

Regardless of if it's something you wanted to do all year, something spontaneous, or anywhere in between, resolutions in the new year can be life-changing when done right. 

Luckily, our team at Troomy's compiled the perfect guide for you to get started with a quality New Year's Resolution, as well as some health and wellness tips to keep you feeling your best all year.

What Makes a New Year's Resolution "Good?"

The trick is to find something that hits these three criteria: attainable, actionable, and valuable (or a SMART goal, basically). Shooting for the stars and landing on the moon is a good idea, but sometimes folks can get discouraged if they don't see progress right away. 

That's where it becomes vital for your resolution to be attainable. Take working out, for example. Setting the goal of working out everyday isn't going to translate for most. The same goes for those who only want to go once a week all year. You have to be able to adjust, as well as see the results. That mean's something that's actionable. 

Everything you do in your resolution should be actionable. Don't leave it up to chance or something that's in someone else's control. This resolution starts with you. That's where the resolution becomes valuable.

Setting a resolution that doesn't create value for you or someone else isn't worth committing a year of your life to. Make sure that there's strong value that is added to your life, not something that stresses you out or takes away from the day-to-day. However, if there isn't a little bit of strain, it probably isn't worth doing.

So overall, keep each of these criteria in mind as you move forward. You'll be in a much better spot a couple months from now with these tools on your mind. Now, it's just time to pick the perfect resolution. 

Great New Year's Resolutions

Phones Off!

Phones can pull you from a lot of the great habits you have. For example, talking with your kids and enjoy time at the dinner table. How often do you really do that anymore? Everyone being present, enjoying each other's company.

Walking

Walking regularly can be life-changing. If you walk regularly, you'll start to see a change in how you feel every day. More energized. Better moods. Easier times falling asleep. Walking and giving the body a bit more activity than usual for a whole year will make a night-and-day difference across the span of 12 months. Give it a try, and see where it takes you.

Kick a Bad Habit

Bad habits are somewhat subjective. Overall, though, there's gotta be one you have that you could do without. 

The key with habits is to take them one step at a time. Say, for example, you struggle with eating fast food more often than you'd like. Instead of cutting it entirely, try cutting four times a month to two. Then, two to one. Gradually adjusting your routine is far more effective for most folks than just making a clean break, as a clean break can lead to intense cravings and quick withdrawals.

Call Your Family

Calling loved ones year round is something you really should stay consistent on. Whether it's just a quick catch up or talking for an hour or two. 

You can't get that time back once it's gone. Even if your resolution is just to call someone every month. Doesn't have to be everyone, find a middle ground that works for you.

Health and Wellness

Health and wellness is a huge umbrella with a ton of opportunity for you to improve on things. You can start with a workout regiment, try supplements, or anything really.

Depending on what you're looking for, this is definitely one worth taking a deeper dive into.

Where Could I Focus My Health and Wellness Resolution?

Fitness

Fitness is the classic start. Gyming every day is the classic go-to for some folks that aren't really sure what they want from their New Year's resolution. Fortunately, there are better, more successful alternatives to trying to go to the gym, burning out after three days, and waiting for next year. 

Get yourself going with basic workouts first at home or in a facility. Just go through the basics and try to hit two or three days each week to start. Then, you can start to ramp up and actually aim for PRs and higher weights once you know what your goals are.

Yoga and Meditation

These will give your body and mind a bit more peace through the year, and can be a great tool to use throughout the day. Also, being able to quickly relax and train your body to have a calmer resting state is an effective way to improve sleep. The exercises pair well also.

Supplements and Functional Mushrooms

Supplements for vitamins, fitness, or daily function are all viable support that can help you improve your resolution's effectiveness. However, there are some that are much more impactful for your support than others.

Particularly, functional mushrooms.

What are Functional Mushrooms Good for?

Better Sleep

Sleeping better doesn't come easily. That's where mushrooms like Reishi can really come in handy. It's been recognized for medicinal properties surrounding fatigue, sleep, stress, and more for thousands of years in eastern cultures. Now, the mushroom's headed west to be a brand-new supplement for us today.

If you're aiming to get quality, restful sleep in the new year, take a look at mushroom gummies with Reishi naturally blended here. 

Elevating Energy

If you are taking on a new health and wellness routine, or just looking to stick to your next New Year's resolution better, functional mushrooms are the way to get the energy you need. Mushrooms offer high vitamins and nutrients that naturally help you stay on top of your game for longer.

Additionally, they don't have the crash that caffeine has. With most mushroom blends, you'll even avoid sugar as well. These two traits push mushrooms to be a far more health-conscious option for keeping you feeling your best.

Increased Focus and Productivity

Focusing better makes you more efficient in the workplace, at school, and anywhere in between. You can support your daily function naturally without putting yourself at risk of crashing, while also giving your body what it needs.

Additional Support Functional Mushrooms Offer

• Antibodies
• Immune system support
• Brain health
• Gut health
• Digestion
• Heart disease protection

The trick to getting each of these areas of support into your diet is finding the right mushrooms, and the right supplements that offer those mushrooms. Luckily, it's easier than ever to get started.
