New Year & Goals So Clear
Nostalgia is finding value within the little moments and our larger memories. As a member of the Photomyne family, we know the past holds a special place in your heart, and we welcome you to our weekly newsletter of nostalgic photos.
2025 has just begun, and that means one thing: it’s New Year’s resolutions time! Whether it’s getting in shape, learning something new, or breaking a bad habit, the beginning of the year feels like the perfect reset button. The excitement of a blank calendar gives us the inspiration to dream big and set goals. But as the weeks roll by, it’s easy for that initial drive to fade, and sticking to resolutions becomes more challenging.
The key to keeping those resolutions alive is to make them achievable and focus on small, steady steps. Instead of aiming for huge changes overnight, breaking goals down into manageable bits can help make them stick. It also helps to celebrate small wins along the way. Accountability—whether through a friend, an app, or a journal—can keep you on track too. With patience, persistence, and some grace for yourself, this can be your year to turn your New Year’s resolution into a lasting habit!
Happy New Year, from your friends at Photomyne!
