(SPM Wire) While many New Year’s resolutions people make are intended to improve health and finances, fewer deal with another marker of well-being: happiness. Here are goals you can set for a more joyful 2025:
Get more sunlight: Studies show that sunlight can boost your mood, so resolve to catch some rays every day. Get outdoors for a walk. Throw open your blinds or curtains. If this is not possible, consider using a light therapy lamp.
Spend time with friends: Carve out time during the week to see the people who make you laugh and feel good about yourself. Can’t meet in person? Try a video call or even an old fashioned phone call.
Stop scrolling: With a growing number of reports linking social media to depression and anxiety, it may be time to limit your scrolling. During downtime, consider replacing scrolling with activities like reading a book, crafting or journaling. You don’t even necessarily need to put your phone down. Learning apps can be a great alternative to mindless scrolling.
