We all had big goals in 2020, but much of the motivation had come to a halt as the world was put on hold. The team at Emu Spirit are ever positive, so let’s get motivated to begin the new year with a fresh set of goals – and by the way, none are to do with weight loss!
Ready to start writing these down? Here’s 5 resolutions to step towards a healthier lifestyle in 2021.
1. Reduce your stress and improve your mental health
Our mental wellbeing has really been tested this year. In difficult times, the strength and resilience of the community is what holds us together. However, the overwhelm of the many individual roles and responsibilities we hold in life take a toll on our bodies, and it’s time to reduce stress levels for the sake of our physical health.
Here are some of our favourite resolutions:
2. Improve your fitness levels and sleep better
We all know the importance of exercise. It strengthens your heart and lung health, improves your circulation, and improves your muscle strength so you have more endurance and energy to tackle your daily chores. Oftentimes, exercise falls to the wayside when we have a million and one things on our to-do lists, but carving time out of your day to exercise can actually help you feel more uplifted and energised to take on your tasks.
Likewise, we all know the importance of sleep. It gives your body the rest if needs, and it keeps your heart healthy, reduces your stress, reduces your inflammation and can even improve your memory. An extra hour of sleep can do wonders for your day.

3. Improve healthy eating habits
Many of us are guilty of falling into bad eating habits. Whether it’s eating irregularly, eating out too much, preparing unbalanced meals or eating too much / too little; it all has an adverse effect on our health. Eating well is fundamental to our wellbeing. A well-balanced diet gives your body the vitamins, minerals and nutrients it needs to keep strong and healthy. It can help maintain a healthy body weight, provide you with energy, allow you to sleep better and improve your brain function.

4. Increase serotonin and mood boosters
This year has taught us; your happiness should never be taken for granted. Appreciate every moment and do the things you love in life. It’s no surprise – happiness and health are interlinked. Being happy improves your heart health, betters your ability to combat stress, improves your immune system, can help reduce pain and increase life longevity.
