Ready to start a new fitness routine in 2019, but have no idea where to start? No problem. For this low-key resolution, commit to ONE workout per week. Do you have a gym membership that you never use? Hit the gym for one class or one workout each week. Instead of gunning for three, four or five workouts per week, start gradually and just commit to one workout per week.

The key is to really stick to it. Make it an appointment on your calendar, and tell yourself that it's non-negotiable.

Even when we know people’s names, why do we go for days without using them? By using someone’s name, you help them feel seen and acknowledged — and that’s an act of kindness. According to kindness.org’s research in collaboration with the University of Oxford, doing a kind act increases happiness, well-being, trust and compassion. And it can have the same powerful effect on those who receive the act. Try it, and put a smile on both your faces.

Happy new year! Haven’t made a resolution yet? Don’t stress — we have you covered. Instead of setting big goals for 2019, start by choosing one simple word to inspire your year. The idea is to focus on the big picture, not the details. This resolution is about creating a fuller life, not about feeling guilty about the small things.

Choose something that you want more of. Maybe it's passion or health or peace or even sleep. But keep it simple: Only one word allowed. What is your life missing right now? Choose that.
