[article_text_1] => Do you often make a New Year’s resolution list but struggle to stick to it? Perhaps your goals aren’t realistic enough. Take inspiration from this list of 12 achievable suggestions—one for each month of 2025.
1. January – Transform your mornings
Start the year on the right foot with a new morning routine. If possible, wake up a little earlier than usual and dedicate 30 minutes to activities that enrich you or boost your energy. In this extra time, you carve out for yourself, you can try one of these activities:
– Experiment with meditation or physical exercise.
– Try journaling, which involves writing in a sort of diary about your personal experiences, goals for the day, random thoughts, feelings, and secrets.
– Enjoy a cup of tea or prepare a different kind of breakfast.
Remember: a calm and organized start to the day can set the tone for the hours ahead.
2. February – Host a Wine Tasting
Take advantage of February to explore the world of wine. Join a group wine tasting session or organize your own at home. Invite friends for dinner, select a few wines, and follow these steps:
– Ensure the wines are at the ideal temperature when served in the appropriate glasses.
– Once served, observe the color and clarity of the wine. Swirl the glass in circular motions to release the aromas.
– Next, take in the scent and have a sip. Pay attention to the balance, the standout notes, and whether the wine feels young and fresh or has complexity and maturity.
– Finally, reflect together on the wine you’ve tasted.
3. March – Develop a New Healthy Habit
In March, focus on your physical and mental health by establishing a new healthy habit. If you need some inspiration, consider one of these tips:
– Start practicing yoga to improve flexibility and reduce stress.
– Reduce your sugar intake and choose healthier snacks.
– Increase your water consumption.
– Try a motivating activity, such as swimming or ballroom dancing.
– Set a routine, like a specific bedtime, and put your phone on airplane mode or leave it in another room to resist temptation.
Choose a habit that inspires you and can be easily incorporated into your daily routine. By doing so, you’ll lay a solid foundation for a healthier, more balanced lifestyle throughout the year.
4. April – Invest in Your Education
April is the perfect month to invest in your learning and development. Enroll in an online or in-person course that interests you, whether it’s on personal development, creative writing, cooking, photography, or any other subject you’re passionate about.
For instance, you could deepen your knowledge of wine by taking a course or workshop on oenology or sommelier training. It’s an opportunity to learn more about the different wine origins and tasting techniques.
5. May – Host a Themed Dinner Party
May is the perfect month to enjoy the mild weather and connect with friends. Why not host a themed dinner party? An Italian or Mexican night could be a lot of fun! Ask each guest to bring something typical of the region, such as a dish, wine, or dessert.
To make the evening even more memorable, consider adding some entertainment options. A themed or general knowledge quiz, a best-dish contest, or a game to guess ingredients are all great choices.
6. June – Visit a Winery
This time of year, is perfect for a short getaway. How about visiting a winery? From north to south of the country, there are many regions where you can enjoy this experience. Many estates offer guided tours, tastings, and even workshops on winemaking, allowing you to appreciate the diversity of wines and the local culture. Make a reservation in advance to secure your spot and consider staying overnight nearby to fully explore the region.
7. July – Host a Summer Barbecue
Good weather calls for an outdoor barbecue. Gather friends for a relaxed afternoon filled with delicious food and great company. Plan a varied menu that includes juicy meats, vegetarian options, and fresh sides like grilled vegetables and salads. To make the event extra special, pair it with the best wines for barbecues. Pro tip: serve Mandriola white wine well chilled, as the summer vibe demands.
8. August – Disconnect from Technology
August, traditionally a vacation month, is perfect for reducing your screen time and rediscovering the joy of offline experiences. Take this opportunity to partially or fully disconnect from social media. Instead of diving into notifications and messages, spend more time on outdoor activities.
For instance, try hiking, picnicking, gardening, crafting, or simply enjoying a good book in a peaceful setting.
9. September – Reduce Food Waste
As you get back to work, it’s the perfect time to adopt more sustainable practices, like reducing food waste in the kitchen. Follow these tips:
– Plan your meals for the week so you only buy what you need.
– Look for recipes that use ingredients you already have.
– Store food properly to keep it fresh longer.
– Use leftovers creatively and compost organic waste.
10. October – Contribute to a Social Cause
As the year draws to a close, take time to reflect on the importance of giving back to the community and making a difference in the lives of those around you:
– Participate in initiatives where you can use your skills to help others, such as volunteering at local shelters, support organizations, or community events.
– Help organize a fundraiser for a charity.
– Promote awareness campaigns on social or environmental issues.
– Donate money to a nonprofit organization.
11. November – Read Two Books
Set a goal this November to read two books. For one, choose a technical book in an area of your interest, such as management, marketing, or neuroscience. This will help deepen your knowledge, develop curiosity, and support your personal and professional growth.
For the second book, pick a genre you enjoy—whether it’s fiction, fantasy, mystery, or anything else. It’s a great way to relax and reignite your passion for reading. And you know what pairs perfectly with a great story? That’s right, a glass of Mandriola red wine.
12. December – Reflect on the Year and Plan for the Future
December isn’t just about codfish, rabanadas, and chocolate. As the year comes to a close, take some time to reflect on what you’ve achieved and the lessons learned in 2025. Create a list of your accomplishments, both big and small, as well as another list of less positive experiences that you don’t want to repeat in the coming year.
While you’re at it, make a fresh list of new ideas, projects, and goals. What milestones would you like to reach in the next year?
Mandriola – The Best Companion All Year Long
New Year’s resolutions are always easier to embrace when they begin with a touch of celebration. To end the year on a high note, enjoy a good bottle of Mandriola wine and celebrate the special moments with your favorite people. Cheers to a Happy New Year!
