New Year’s Resolutions You Can Actually Keep

January 2, 2017

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Evolution Fresh® for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

Sip In  A Brighter Direction with New Year's Resolutions You Can Actually Keep A New Year’s Resolution is a tradition in which a person makes a promise to do an act of self-improvement like losing weight or doing something nice, such as always saying please and thank you. A resolution can range between a number of things depending on your life and can be little or big changes. When I was younger I would always make these silly, outlandish, nowhere near possible resolutions that I found hard to stick too. As I’ve gotten older, and especially more so into my thirties I’ve found resolutions really important. I feel like making a resolution is like making a goal. And I try to make smaller resolutions so that I can keep myself accountable and stick to them. I’m partnering with Evolution Fresh® to share some of my resolutions and how I plan to stick to them while I enjoy the little things and take a Sip In a Brighter Direction.  Sip In  A Brighter Direction with New Year's Resolutions You Can Actually Keep

NUTRITION

When it comes to starting fresh and looking at the beginning of a new year, nutrition is something that’s always on my list. It’s one of those things that can get overlooked in your day to day life and before you know it takeout Tuesday has stretched into a daily occurrence. When you make small choices they can have such a big impact. So I always make it a point to include nutrition. Sip In  A Brighter Direction with New Year's Resolutions You Can Actually Keep What we’re putting into our bodies is super important for a daily life. From energy to overall health. Healthy food swaps can help give you the energy you need to power through the day. I notice for myself, while a chocolate milkshake may seem like a great idea at 1pm, by 4pm my energy is gone and there’s nothing fueling my body to get me through the rest of the day. Grabbing for something like Evolution Fresh® Defense Up is a much better way for me to grab something healthy and keep my energy where it’s needed and focus on the rest of my day. A bonus tip, this is thick enough that you can swap out a high fat salad dressing and use this on your salad, I like to pour a bit on some chinese chicken salad for lunch. It’s delish.

HYDRATION

Keeping yourself hydrated is so important. From your skin to your energy levels, you will really notice a difference when you’re hydrated. Midday fatigue is often a common symptom of dehydration. Hydrate regularly to beat that fatigue feeling and power through your day. I have a mini-hydration app on my phone which I have been really bad about sticking to lately, that’s why hydration is part of my list going into 2017.

SLEEP

I think getting enough sleep or getting more sleep should be on everyone’s 2017 resolution list. I have a tough time with this. Most days, I definitely don’t feel rested enough. Getting enough sleep is going to play into all of your other resolutions as well. Being well rested will help you make healthier choices instead of going for the easiest way out when you’re exhausted. 8 hours or more is really important to kick start your day and have more energy.

EXERCISE

I’m willing to be a large percentage of the people reading this post will have exercise on their New Year’s Resolution list this year. It’s probably the most common resolution, I have no stat to back that up I’m just making a guesstimate. Working out will help you want to make other healthier choices throughout the day. It will help your lifestyle and you’ll just feel better. Sometimes we want to reward ourselves after a nice hard workout. Try an Evolution Fresh® Cold Pressed Green Devotion, it’s delicious. I was a bit worrisome as I don’t usually like green anything but I gave it a try and I was pleasantly surprised. I love this for after a workout.

LIFESTYLE

Overall lifestyle goals play a big part in my resolutions for this next year. I feel like everything I listed above goes into making my lifestyle that much better. This next year, I’m going to make it a point to be present with myself and carve out some me time in my ever growing to do list. Sip In  A Brighter Direction with New Year's Resolutions You Can Actually Keep While I’m taking all of these small steps towards a happier and healthier 2017, I’m also going to be taking some out for small sips. A sip in the brighter direction, if you will, with Evolution Fresh®.

“The black and white photo challenge started as “The black and white photo challenge started as a way for women to raise their voice. To stand in solidarity with the women we have lost. To show that one day, it could be their picture plastered across news outlets with a black and white filter.” - @beelzeboobz⁣
⁣
In 2019, Turkey had nearly 500 RECORDED femicides. ⁣
⁣
The Global Burden of Armed Violence 2014 database shows that between 2007 and 2012, on average, 60,000 women were killed violently around the world. ⁣
⁣
A total of 87,000 women were intentionally killed in 2017. More than half of them (58 per cent) ̶ 50,000 ̶ were killed by intimate partners or family members, meaning that 137 women across the world are killed by a member of their own family every day. More than a third (30,000) of the women intentionally killed in 2017 were killed by their current or former intimate partner ̶ someone they would normally expect to trust.⁣

“Since the pandemic, violence against women especially domestic violence has intensified” @unwomen⁣
⁣
While the majority of homicide victims are men, women are the primary victims of intimate partner homicide, including homicide–suicide events.⁣

Drug dealers get longer sentences than rapists. ⁣
⁣
Breonna Taylor’s murderers still haven’t been arrested. ⁣
⁣
Globally, 1 in 3 women experience physical or sexual violence mostly by an intimate partner⁣
⁣
#WomenSupportingWomen looks a lot like putting in work to actively combat and also recognize violence against women. It looks like voting for political figures who don’t want to take the rights of women away. It looks like donating to causes that actively fight for these women. ⁣
⁣
So let’s #challengeaccepted that. ⁣

Would you ever say the things you say to yourself Would you ever say the things you say to yourself to another woman? ⁣
⁣
I absolutely wouldn’t tell a woman that her thighs were too big. Or that I hated her stretch marks. Or her belly stuck out too far. Or that her arms were fat. ⁣
⁣
So why the frick am I ok saying it to myself? Sometimes we all need a little reminder when we look in the mirrror...⁣
⁣
Speak to yourself with grace. If you find yourself experiencing negative self talk ask yourself if you’d say it to someone else. If the answer is no.. full 🛑 ⁣

Wanna hear some random things about me?! ⁣ ⁣ 1 Wanna hear some random things about me?! ⁣
⁣
1️⃣ My hair has been over 50 different colors. Some of them all at the same time. It’s naturally blonde though⠀⁣
⠀⁣
2️⃣ I went to an all girls catholic high school and was asked not to take Spanish 3 because I talked too much 🤣⠀⁣
⠀⁣
3️⃣ I have two cats, a dog, and a husband that I’ve been with since I was 16 years old⠀⁣
⠀⁣
4️⃣ I’m a double ♊️ which means I’m talkative, fiercely loyal and endlessly curious. Paired with being an enneagram 8 and it probably also means I’m a little bit psycho 🤣⠀⁣
⠀⁣
5️⃣ I listen to murder podcasts to fall asleep.⠀⁣
⠀⁣
6️⃣ Playing with makeup is my happy place. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
7️⃣ I love the hottest hot sauces that most people won’t even smell. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
8️⃣ I recently became a plant mom and it escalated quickly⁣
⠀⁣
9️⃣ If I won the lottery I’d buy a tiny house in the middle of nowhere ⁣
⠀⁣
🔟 Creating this community has been one of my favorite things about life. What will you find here?! Easy beauty tips and tutorials, attainable fashion, endless Amazon finds, but also the UNCOMFORTABLE stuff: pap smears, depression, anxiety, the effects my husbands addiction had on our marriage, eating disorders, struggles with fertility, body acceptance, and being comfortable in your own skin. I try to keep it as real as humanly possible. Being so vulnerable all of the time isn’t the easiest thing but if it helps just one person feel less alone, I’m good! ⠀⁣
⁣
🌟 I’m so glad you’re here! I’d love to hear a fun fact about you!! 🌟 ⁣

Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thin Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. ⁣
⁣
We’re about two hit two years since Jim entered rehab and I’m forever proud of the changes he made and the man he has become⁣
⁣
For the person reading this who loves an addict. It’s changed you, I know. It made you a little harder to reach. It made getting out a bed a little rough. It’s isolated you from groups of friends. Your hearts a little more closed off then it once was. Your trust is a little bit broken. You’ve felt more alone then you ever have. You’ve felt judged. You’ve felt betrayed. You’ve felt at fault.⁣
⁣
Whether you’re past it or still in the trenches. I want you to know some things. ⁣
⁣
I need you to know that it’s not your fault. I need you to know that you could not have done anything differently. I need you to know that you can’t cure it. You didn’t cause it. And you can’t control it. ⁣
⁣
Most of all I need you to know that it gets better. I need you to know that it’s ok to feel happiness again. It’s ok to put yourself first. It’s ok to take care of your. ⁣
⁣
And you’re not alone. ⁣
⁣
I promise you that there’s a light on this side of the tunnel just waiting for you to walk through. And that light doesn’t mean it’s over, it’s just there to guide you. Because every day could be a battle. ⁣
⁣
I stayed for the battle. But that’s not the only way. If you need to leave that’s okay too. Either way. You have to get to that light. ⁣
⁣
Don’t be afraid to reach out for help. Go to a meeting yourself. Grab a book (Co-Dependent No More, was helpful for me) listen to a podcast. Get yourself a village. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF⁣
