New Year’s Resolutions and Dressing in Style for 2021

Hello, and a happy new year my friends! I hope you’re looking forward to 2021! Every year I sit down and think about what I did well the year before and what I need to work on. What I learned about myself in 2020 is how I created my New Year’s resolutions for 2021..

This post is sponsored by Clara Sunwoo, however, all opinions are my own.

2020 was a great teaching year for me. For instance, I learned what I was capable of doing and what I was comfortable letting go of. So many obstacles became challenges that I accepted because I had to.

Ladies, it’s a  New Year, New You!

New Year’s Resolution for 2021

I have made a list of things I am going to do this year and I bet you can make a shortlist for yourself. I find if I have too many goals I never accomplish any of them! Keep it simple and short!

• Keep on walking and exercising.

I was doing so much walking last year because of COVID-19 restrictions and will continue to keep walking. for my health. Last year was the first time I was walking the golf course carrying my clubs in the spring. I really enjoyed walking the course.  We do so much walking and hiking in Park City that I tend to forget to do weight-bearing exercises which are so good for us! This year I am going to get back into lifting weights and do more yoga.

• Practice Self Compassion

I think 2021 is the perfect time to practice self-compassion and self-love. For instance there so many things I don’t like about myself or my body that I want to improve this year.  Yet, many times I get mad at myself or feel like I have failed myself for not doing a better job.

According to Good Housekeeping, recent research shows that practicing self-compassion slowed people’s heart rate and sweating, two symptoms our bodies produce when under chronic stress. So take some time each day to focus on something you love about yourself.

Instead of mercilessly judging and criticizing yourself for various inadequacies or shortcomings, self-compassion means you are kind and understanding when confronted with personal failings – after all, whoever said you were supposed to be perfect?

• Taking Better Care of My Skin and Hair

In 2020 I noticed that my hair has really begun to thin. My skin became drier and the wrinkles increased all over my body. Park City has really dried out my skin. I am now making a conscious effort to hydrate my skin and use products for my hair to see if I can reverse the damage I have caused over the years. I have tried nutraceuticals and haircare products that haven’t produced the results I have been hoping for. I have decided to try Rogaine for Women and see if this can help. I will be writing

• Learn a New Skill or Hobby

Nothing is more invigorating than learning a new skill as we get older. Plus it also keeps our minds sharp! I took up skiing again at 64 and I am thinking of a new skill or hobby for 2021.

Keeping up with the current technology, or learning a new skill is what keeps us young at heart. When I hear my peers say that they know enough already and don’t want to learn anything new, they are missing out on some wonderful opportunities. We are never too old to learn and grow.

You don’t have to take giant leaps but slowly find something you are passionate about and follow your heart in 2021.

Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.- Henry Ford

• Keep Dressing in Style even at home

If 2020 was the year of super casual, I will make an effort to dress up even if I am at home. It can still be causal but adding jewelry and a little bit of mascara and lipstick can elevate an outfit. I love dressing up even if it’s for myself. Putting on something nice from my closet this year is key to my happiness.
