Brutally honest New Year’s Resolutions

We both know you’re not going to keep your New Year Resolutions in 2025
 Another year, another set of unattainable New Year’s Resolutions. Maybe 2025 is the year you were honest with yourself. Are you realistically going to drink 4 litres of water a day? Wake up at 5am every morning to do a 10k? Respond mindfully and presently to your colleague’s email that hopes to ‘find you well’? No, you’re probably not, and that’s OK. We love you just the way you are. Which is why we have put in place some alternative, brutally honest New Year’s Resolutions for you to follow instead.

“Do more sport”
You won’t, but you can get a year’s
worth of steps in, in Nepal
Hey, we’re all about moving our bodies and keeping fit, but who says it has to be unenjoyable? Are you realistically going to join that 7am CrossFit class before work? Probably not. So why not get in your steps surrounded by the beautiful nature of the Himalayas instead of questionable body odour in the gym? 

“Be more mindful”

You won’t, but it’s easier to pretend in Bali
Distressing and learning to be present is extremely important, personally the writer of this Newsletter finds screaming into a pillow particularly cathartic. Let’s face it, though, are you honestly going to commit to 25 minutes of meditation a day? Why not go somewhere where being Zen isn’t a personality trait, but actually a way of life? We’re talking about Bali, and you’ll learn more about being present here, than you will from any self-help book.

Drink more water
You won’t, but you can swim in it instead,
in the Maldives
OK you spent 50 quid on a state-of-the-art reusable water bottle, that keeps water hot and cold for 8 months and can bake bread. Now what? Staying hydrated is important, and while you should definitely drink more water, you should also enjoy its healing properties in other ways. Like swimming in it in while on a paradise beach in the Maldives (for example).
