As we step into the first weeks of a new year, it’s natural to pause and reflect on the previous one while taking what worked, what didn’t and what changes we want to carry into the months ahead. (Happy January and start to 2025!)
The “ins and outs” trend that hit last year has been buzzing again this year, and it’s all about embracing what feels right moving forward and letting go of what no longer serves us.
(We love this, as it directly ties into the grace-filled, progress-over-perfection approach that I live by, believe in and coach daily.)
It’s not about rigid resolutions or unattainable goals … it’s about creating five-year plans while staying open to life’s unexpected detours. It’s about taking responsibilities seriously, but not losing sight of who we are outside of them. It’s working out because we *get* to, not because we *have* to … and it’s fueling our bodies to feel good, not just to fit into a box of what we think we should look like.
As I started jotting down my personal “ins and outs” in the Notes app on my phone, I felt inspired to share a deeper dive into the details here.
I hope it resonates with you as much as it does with me, and I hope that the perspective from someone who practices and preaches simple and sustainable, healthy living (me!) brings the importance of things like mindset and stress management to light, too.
Let’s start with what’s IN for the year ahead, or things worth focusing from my Health Coach perspective.
Travels and experiences over gifts was on my list of INs for 2024, and it was a *good* one. With this goal at the forefront, I made trips happen that I might have previously passed up because of logistics like childcare, budget and taking time away from a normal schedule. Instead, I made them happen because I knew that the quality time with lifelong friends and family that I don’t normally get to see would fill my cup and recharge me in the best way. And that it did. I fully intend on keeping this one going!
Saying “yes” to events that fill the cup and “no” to things that don’t was also on last year’s list and it taught me a valuable lesson with myself and people pleasing. Through therapy and a lot of self-reflecting in 2024, I realized that I am a recovering perfectionist and used to spend way too much time thinking about others’ perspectives of me. I was scared to let anyone down or perform in a way that wasn’t aligned what people expected, and this resulted in being afraid to say “no” to something, even if it was something that I didn’t want to do. Ultimately, I learned that you have to say “no” to some things in order to say “yes” to others and make room for the things you really want to do or work towards.
Your mindset is a powerful tool that a lot of people miss, so make it something to focus on this year. A grateful heart and a calm mind can transform how you approach everything else, so don’t shy away from the power of journaling and taking even five minutes a day to appreciate life in the messy, grey areas … which where we tend to spend a lot of our time.
Movement! Whether it’s dancing in the kitchen, walking with a friend or lifting weights, move in a way that feels fun for you and you’ll keep showing up consistently here.
I learned a lot from my Sleep, Stress Management and Recovery certification with Precision Nutrition, and you’ll find some of the takeaways along with a full review of the program here. Rest days, naps, and slowing down when you feel your body starting to feel run down is just as important as the hard work that you’re putting in. Also huge, ignoring the things that stress you out doesn’t make them go away … so make sure to put some effort in acknowledging some of the stressors in your life and strategize ways to start managing them. It matters.
Successful, focused people drink water! Keep a refillable bottle handy all day long and keep track of your ounces if you think you might be missing the mark … aim for half of your bodyweight in ounces of water per day and go from there.
Strength training has become all the rage over the past few years (finally!), and there are many reasons why including building strength and preserving muscle to stay strong for years to come. Cardio sessions will take you somewhere, but a focus on strength (even 30 minutes per session) will always take you further.
And finally, get comfortable with getting uncomfortable—because this is where we learn, reflect and grow the most!
Now let’s talk about what’s OUT from my mindset of a Health Coach.
Living in New York City has its challenges, and keeping a small apartment space uncluttered is certainly one of them. That said, it’s also made me intentional in what I keep and how I store things—absolutely everything has a purpose and place. It’s tricky to get rid of the clutter, but it’s necessary to purge often, and this has helped me realize how much cluttered spaces can distract you. There’s something to be said about simplifying your spaces, and if you don’t believe me I challenge you to try it and report back.
I mentioned the idea of being okay with saying “no” above, but let’s take it a bit further by acknowledging that you also don’t owe a long explanation as to why. (This one took me way too long to learn!) A simple “thank you for the invite, but I can’t make it” will suffice to most scenarios. Stop over-explaining yourself and ruminating over things that you should or shouldn’t have said. Nobody will hold it against you.
Can we please stop defining our success in what we post on the Internet?
As a content creator, this is a big one for me … but I’ve realized that what I put out there is never going to be for everyone. Also, it’s interesting when something I just throw out there on a whim performs way better than something else I spent hours crafting, editing and perfecting. That’s just how it is, so here’s your reminder to just let it go. A fantastic honorable mention in this area would also be the reminder that people are simply posting the highlight reels, so please stop comparing your journey to someone else’s path that appears to be perfect. It’s not.
I stopped regularly weighing myself years ago, and letting go of that constant number in my mind has been so freeing. Instead of fixating on the scale, I’ve learned to appreciate my body’s strength and resilience. My focus has shifted to other metrics, like the weight I can lift, the reps I can complete, and the progress I see in how I feel overall. I pay attention to how my clothes fit, how well I’m sleeping, and how my energy levels are improving. This perspective brings more gratitude and motivation to my workouts, making them an enjoyable and fulfilling part of my routine. It’s incredibly rewarding.
Prioritizing time to unplug and be fully present has become a big focus for me. Like anyone, I can get lost in mindless scrolling, but I’ve made a conscious effort to recognize when it happens and ensure it doesn’t overshadow quality time with people. Simply keeping my phone out of arm’s reach—or even in another room—has made a huge difference. It stops me from automatically reaching for it during idle moments. I’ve realized that most things don’t need an immediate response, and embracing this mindset has been liberating. It’s helped me manage stress and reminded me to focus on what truly matters. If you’ve been feeling tethered to your screens, I highly recommend giving this a try!
When in doubt, keep it simple. Try a meal planning service, get your groceries delivered, rotate the three workouts you see progress in and enjoy, and incorporate things that help you work smarter, not harder.
And finally, remember that you will always be your own worst critic. Let’s reframe the inner dialogue to kindness and encouragement this year because you are doing your best and you deserve it. Always.
Let’s summarize …
As the new year begins, I’m focusing on alignment, balance, and growth in all aspects of life. For me, this means prioritizing experiences and relationships over material things, saying yes to what truly fulfills me, and confidently saying no to what doesn’t—without over-explaining or feeling guilty. It’s about finding joy in movement, nurturing a strong mindset, and embracing gratitude for the messy, imperfect moments that make life meaningful.
Health and wellness remain a cornerstone, but my approach is grounded in simplicity and sustainability. I’m focusing on strength training, hydration, and recovery while letting go of outdated metrics like the scale. Tracking how I feel, sleep, and function has been far more rewarding than obsessing over numbers. Stress management and intentional rest have also become priorities, allowing me to show up as my best self.
This year is also about clearing the clutter—both physically and mentally. Simplifying my spaces and routines helps me stay focused, while unplugging from screens creates more presence and connection with loved ones. Lastly, I’m committed to silencing my inner critic and reframing self-talk with kindness and encouragement. Growth comes from stepping outside your comfort zone, and I’m embracing that journey wholeheartedly.

A Life-Changing Experience, Dr Kachi A Testimony of Gratitude
I would like to share an extraordinary experience that has transformed my life. I came across a remarkable testimony online forum about a powerful and renowned spell caster, Dr. Kachi. At the time, I was skeptical because I had never encountered anything related to magic or spell casting before. However, the story of Dr. Kachi’s work resonated with me, and I decided to give it a chance. For years, my family and I struggled financially, and despite my best efforts, I never had luck winning the lottery. I loved playing, but winning seemed impossible. Everything changed when I connected with Dr. Kachi, who provided me with a winning lottery number through a powerful spell. In just 24 hours, I was able to play the lottery and won the Lotto 6/49 prize, a remarkable $68 million cash prize, on September 27th in the Gold Ball Draw. This incredible win has completely changed my life and the financial well-being of my entire family. After 10 years of trying unsuccessfully, I am now living my dream life. I am beyond grateful to Dr. Kachi for his assistance, Dr. Kachi has truly been a blessing to me and my loved ones. I encourage anyone who is interested to reach out to Dr. Kachi for guidance. his email drkachispellcast@gmail. com Also reach him text or call +1 (209) 893-8075.Thank you once again, Dr. Kachi, for making my dreams come true.
This was such an inspiring and refreshing read, Heather! I love how you’ve framed “ins and outs” as more than just a trendy list but as an intentional way of living with grace and balance. The reminders about movement for joy, saying “no” without guilt, and unplugging to be more present really resonated with me. I’m also trying to focus more on experiences over things this year and to let go of perfectionism in my health habits. Thank you for sharing your perspective—it makes setting intentions for 2025 feel exciting and achievable!
My husband had the habit of always texting and fixing dates with his old friends including his exes. I never thought there was a problem with such until he became emotionally withdrawn from me and started acting abnormal towards me and my daughter. At this point I knew I needed help urgently because I never wanted to loose him. Dr Isikolo came to my rescue and the problem was fixed. One my husband’s ex vowed to ensure she takes him from him and started manipulating him to abandon me and my daughter which would have eventually happened if Dr Isikolo didn’t stepped in to help me. Just as he assured me of the the results after fixing the problem, everything became amazing between me and my husband and now he has apologized for everything and we are good again. Contact Dr Isikolo and believe he will surely fix that problem for you. Review his webpage: https://isikolo-temple.com or direct text on Whatsapp via +2348133261196
After I and my husband got married, we relocated to another city and we both got jobs and started working and living together happily. We never had any problems until a colleague of his started doing all she can to get my husband’s attention. I never knew all along what was going until he started sleeping out and making excuses. Things got out of control and he eventually stopped attending to my needs. I knew at that point I needed help so I contacted Dr Isikolo and explained everything to him. He told me all that has been going and promised to fix the problems for me which he did. He cast a love reunion spell for me which reunited i and my husband and he started being the man I always loved him to be just after 48 hours Dr Isikolo worked for me. We are both happy now and it would not have been possible if not for Dr Isikolo. Contact him if you need any help. His webpage: https://isikolo-temple.com or text him on WhatsApp +2348133261196
