20 Healthy Resolutions OTHER Than “Lose Weight”

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about how I want my days to feel, not just how they look on paper.

I don’t want routines that punish me into productivity. I want ones that support the life I’m building. So instead of setting loud goals, I wrote myself a list of small actions. Things I can actually live with. Things that move me forward without burning me out.

I want to try a new workout. Not to fix my body or burn calories, but to remind myself that movement can be playful again. Barre. Yoga. Pilates. Trail walks. Maybe even a muddy fun run that feels more like joy than discipline. I don’t need a perfect plan. I just need to choose one thing and put it on the calendar. I want to get my steps in. Not perfectly. Just intentionally. Walking while I take calls. Walking while I edit. Walking while I pray or think through my next move. Steps don’t need to look impressive to count. They just need to happen. I want to run a fun 5K. Not to prove anything. Just to show up. Having something on the calendar gives me direction on days motivation feels thin. Medal optional. Commitment required. I want to keep a daily journal. Messy entries included. Writing helps me clear my head when thoughts pile up. Some days it might be a page. Some days it might be five minutes. No rules. Just honesty. Personally and paper planner is enough journaling for me. I want to stay faith-centered. Even a short moment of Scripture matters. Reading daily grounds me when deadlines get loud and comparison creeps in. It brings me back to what actually matters. I want to get more sleep. Rest isn’t weakness. It’s maintenance. I can’t create well when I’m exhausted. Burnout doesn’t make better art. Recovery does. Even going to bed thirty minutes earlier feels like a step in the right direction. I want to cut back on alcohol. Clear body. Clear mind. I notice I make better decisions and feel steadier when I drink less. That matters more to me than any temporary escape. I want to meal prep my lunches. Not perfectly. Just intentionally. Having food ready saves energy and keeps me from making rushed decisions when I’m deep in work. Ease is something I’m learning to value. I want to document the process of becoming. I don’t need to wait until I arrive somewhere to share the story. The becoming is the story. The learning, the trying, the figuring it out as I go. One behind-the-scenes moment at a time. I want to raise my rates with confidence. Experience compounds. Pricing my work appropriately honors the growth I’ve already earned and protects me from burnout. This isn’t about greed. It’s about sustainability. I want to shoot imperfectly and publish consistently. Waiting for perfect keeps me stuck. Momentum comes from showing up again and again. Progress beats perfection every time. I want to set a budget. Money stress steals creative energy. Clarity creates calm. Before changing anything, I just want to see the full picture. Awareness first. I want to organize my space once a week. Not my whole house. Just one one. One improvement. Order in my environment helps my brain slow down, and that matters more than I used to admit. I want to clean up my beauty routine. Fewer products. Kinder ingredients. Less clutter feels lighter, inside and out. I want to schedule self-care instead of hoping it happens. If it’s not on the calendar, it’s optional. Rest and reset deserve space too. I want to rest without guilt. Overworking doesn’t make me more committed. Rest makes me better. More creative. More present. I want to build a brand I can live inside. One that fits my values, my schedule, and this season of life. Sustainability matters more than speed. If it doesn’t fit my life, it’s not worth forcing. I want to plan social time and fun. Joy doesn’t just happen anymore. I have to make room for it on purpose. I want to chase progress, not perfection. Perfection slows me down. Done moves me forward. Finishing something at eighty percent is still finishing.

And finally, I want to live this truth:
Want it → Become it.

Alignment starts with action. I don’t have to wait to be ready. I can start acting like the version of me who already figured it out, one small decision at a time.

This is how I’m choosing health right now.
Not louder. Not stricter.
Just steadier.

Pin it. Revisit when you’re building.
