JAKARTA - The beginning of the year is a moment that is often used to make positive resolutions and plans for changes, for example in 2025 we will be healthier and more productive.

By setting a resolution, a person can get new motivation to start the year better. So, how?

Here are five simple and realistic ideas that can help you realize the 2025 resolution, as quoted from Tokopedia's press statement.

Having a nutritious diet and drinking enough water is an important step in living a healthy life. Throughout 2024, many people began to focus on consuming nutritious food as part of their resolution.

According to Doctor Nutrition, dr. Putri Sakti Dwi Permanasari, Sp.GK, balanced nutrition is very important. Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats each have an important role in the body. Balanced intake from plant and animal sources is needed," he explained.

To start, set a simple target, such as increasing water consumption, adding vegetables to the daily menu, or replacing unhealthy snacks with a better choice, such as nuts or fruits.

Exercise regularly provides tremendous benefits for physical and mental health. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends 150-300 minutes of physical activity per week. Simple exercises such as walking or using light exercise tools at home can be an easy choice to implement.

In addition to walking, various types of light exercise such as yoga or strength training with band resistance can also help increase flexibility and muscle strength. Choose comfortable sportswear and support your physical activity to stay motivated to move.

Managing finances is an important step to support stability in the future. One way is to make a list of priority expenditures, such as food needs, transportation, and routine bills.

In addition, take advantage of the various promos or discounts available when shopping for basic needs. Trends such as 'No Buy Challenge' also teach the public to only buy goods that are really needed, so that expenses can be more controlled.

Developing new skills, such as cooking, graphic design, or photography, not only provides new experiences, but also has the potential to be an additional source of income.

In today's digital era, technology makes it easier for anyone to learn and take advantage of these skills.

By utilizing social media and digital platforms, you can even generate passive income, for example through creating creative content or offering services online.

"The existence of technology further supports the community from all backgrounds to gain affordable access to generate passive income, for example as an affiliate content creator."

"They earn income by promoting or marketing the products of sellers at Tokopedia and ShopTokopedia through relevant video content on TikTok. Now there are more than 8 million creators who receive income from TikTok. In fact, these affiliate content creators claim to earn more than UMR," said Tokopedia and TikTok E-commerce Senior Communications Commissioner Rizky Juanita Azuz.

In addition to focusing on physical health, improving spiritual relationships is also important to maintain a balance of life. Resolutions such as improving worship time, participating in religious activities, or more often sharing with others can provide inner peace.

Sharing activities, such as donations or helping others, not only increase solidarity but also become a tangible manifestation of social concern. With technological advances, sharing activities can now be carried out more easily and safely, anytime and anywhere.
