You know the old saying “New Year, New You”! We’ve all said it and we all know how hard it is to actually stick to the resolutions that we make. To take a much needed vacation (see our suggestions below), lose weight, exercise more, save money, …..
By February, however, we often find that we have failed at our attempt because we all know that change is hard. “There’s always next year” we tell ourselves. But, WHY is is so hard for us? What is stopping us from our goals we set for ourselves?
According to Psychology Today, it’s simple. The one constant we carry is the same old self. Too often, we confuse a change in context with a change in self. It’s very common. Think about a time when you’ve looked forward to a new job, or even just a new wardrobe. We think that once we get this shift in our situation, it will somehow automatically trigger a transformation of our character. We can leave insecurities behind and emerge, the myth goes, and be happier, more confident, successful people. To learn more about this, and what to do to change those habits and work on ourselves, read this article. You just might be on your way to keeping those resolutions you made for the new year!
Or better yet, keep reading, because we’re going to make resolution suggestions that will help almost ensure you keep your resolutions for 2025 and are 100% successful!
Tips To Help You Stick To Those Resolutions
- Set resolutions that motivate you – If you’re not excited about something, you won’t be very committed. Choose resolutions that you are passionate or excited about.
- Make resolutions that are easy to manage – You don’t want to start out with too many resolutions or you’ll not be able to keep up with all of them. Only focus on those that are most important to you so you can give each one your full attention.
- Be willing to adjust – Life happens and, at times, you may find that the $50 you planned to save each week is needed for an unexpected situation. If that happens, don’t feel bad or punish yourself. Just realize that it was merely a bump in the road, but continue on.
- Celebrate – No matter how small the weight loss is or if you need that extra $50 one week, celebrate the wins! By celebrating, it will keep you motivated to continue on your resolution journey!
Resolutions For Self-Care
I’m going to let you in on a little secret…..I’m going to be a bit selfish and make it simple for you with these resolutions, because I think that all you need for the New Year is to make sure you take care of yourself. What better way to do that than to plan a vacation or two with Premium Beach Condos in Panama City Beach, FL? No need to think too hard about your resolutions, we have all of them covered!
- Spend More Time With Family and Friends in Panama City Beach (We’ve got this covered) – This resolution is great for our self-care because being with those that we love and laugh with is good for our emotional and mental well-being. To top it off, this is an easy resolution to keep and be successful with! It’s especially great when you’re spending time with your family and friends on the beach!

- Book a Vacation With Premium Beach Condos – (WE have the PERFECT place for you)- We all know that taking a vacation can be good for you. It’s great for your mind, body, and soul! Taking a vacation provides greater opportunity for rest and better sleep (both quantity and quality), which can help clear your mind to create more mental space for you when you go back to work. Relaxing on vacation can reduce the levels of stress hormones and allow your immune system to recover, making you less prone to get sick. Once you make the resolution to take a vacation, be sure to check out our website at for an amazing vacation and book now!
- Swim With The Dolphins (We have that covered, too) – According to Hawaii Island Recovery, when humans are among dolphins, our brainwaves have been measured to go into alpha (the relaxation, effortless alertness, peak performances, and daydreaming state), producing lower anxiety and better immune system function. When you book with us, enjoy one free ticket to the Sunset & Dolphin Watch Sailing Cruise every day of your stay. Or to swim with the dolphins you can go to Gulf World Marine Park, one of the only places in the United States where you CAN swim with the dolphins!
- Try a New Cuisine (I think we can help you there, also) – If you’re staying with us at Premium Beach Condos, there are lots of restaurants, many in walking distance, that will help you find new things for your taste buds. From delicious seafood, Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, Cajun food, and more, you’ll find so much to offer.
In closing, there is really just one thing you should remember when making your New Year’s resolutions.
- If you don’t take care of yourself, no one will. Self care begins with you and it will allow you to be your best and to care for others!
