The new year is a great time for a health reset. You can arrange wellness goals throughout the year of course, but we can all agree that the new year gives that extra dose of motivation. When we set the bar too high, though, we inevitably blow it, lose traction, and go back to the status quo—so the workaround is to start small and skip the extremes.
To set you up for success, we’ve rounded up goals that are doable and feasible in the long run. These are simple things that you can easily incorporate into your daily routine and activities that can make significant headway on your journey to a happier and healthier you—and they’re all conveniently available for your picking via the SM Malls Online app.
1 Move more
Did you know that we sit more than we should? We can attribute this to a sedentary lifestyle or simply being inactive, and it can have negative effects on our overall health, with studies linking it to an increased risk of mortality. This year, aim to move more and exercise even for just a few minutes. Go for a 15-minute walk or get up and move for five minutes every hour. Track your progress with the Apple Watch Series 10, Series 10 is the perfect fitness partner. It motivates you to stay active, tracks all your workouts, and gives you the metrics you need.
Available at POWERMAC, SM City Olongapo Central.
2 Carve time for creative play
Engage in play so your mind has a chance to relax and unwind. And here’s a secret: Adults need playtime just as much as kids do—maybe more. It’s allowing yourself to explore, express, and step into a fun space that feeds your spirit. Plus, play is one of the best and simplest ways to reduce stress, improve cognitive function, and encourage a sense of fulfillment. Head on over to iSports at SM City Olongapo Central and take advantage of their new game challenges and prizes.
The hub can be a great place to step back from the grind, so you can just let loose and have time for loads of fun—competitive or otherwise.
3 Eat your protein and leafy greens
Nourish your body with superfoods—high in nutrients and low in calories, what’s not to love? A superfood starter is a serving of Homemade Caesar Salad and Baked Prawns from CONTI’s.
It’s got everything your body needs to fire up on all cylinders: fresh and crisp romaine lettuce and green ice lettuce with chicken strips, bacon bits, and parmesan cheese, served with dressing and croutons on the side.
4 Try nutrient-packed rice bowls
Healthy bowls combine the flavor of protein with the added benefit of fiber, which can help you feel full and satisfied without the sluggishness that can accompany binging on a big, high-calorie meal. BOTEJYU offers delicious flavor combinations for an eat-good, feel-good vibe. They recommend Chicken Butter Rice Bowl, an authentic Japanese goodness with Salmon Nigiri Sushi – fresh, simple, and handcrafted by their Samurai Iron Chef Shuichiro Kikuchi for a superb-quality seafood treat. Another delicious rice bowl is Ginger Pork Rice Bowl, made with Tender Pork marinated in ginger and soy sauce paired with fresh greens and tomatoes for a deliciously wholesome meal.
