133: Embracing January Themes, Goals, Habit and Routines

The Habit Thrive Podcast ~ Self Care Habits, Mindfulness & Wellness Routines for Women 50 & Beyond

Welcome to 2025, Habit Thrivers!

A new year, a new chapter, and a new chance to embrace our awesomeness!

Kicking off this new year with the Habit Thrive Podcast, we are chatting about seasonal themes and how, as we progress through the next few weeks of January, we will connect goals, routines and rituals.

So, instead of declaring a goal or resolution for 2025, think about what your theme for the year should be:

• Prioritizing time with friends and family
• Focusing on a healthier lifestyle
• Trying new things
• Saying “no” more often (or saying “yes”!)

Then, break down the year into 3 seasons of 4 months each, and create a theme or focus for each month.

Right now, we are starting - of course - with January.

For me, January is a month of Rest and Reset.

For my body, I’m choosing “active rest” … restorative, flowing yoga that is low-intensity but sets the tone for the year.

I’m also focusing on easy, hearty nutrition like warm, nourishing soups, stews and casseroles.

For my mind, I’m journaling and planning the upcoming months and seasons:

• Making to-do lists
• Planning trips or treats
• Noting events I want to attend

And I’m taking a little extra time for meditation and really connecting with the season.

For you, January may be a month of Resurgence.

You may feel you need some high-intensity workouts in order to break out of the sluggish post-holiday funk.

There’s no wrong way to create and embrace your perfect January theme.
