25 Ways to Start 2025 on the Right Foot
1. Reassess your bladder health, bowel health, and your incontinence needs.
It’s important to check in with yourself now and then and reevaluate what your body needs. If you notice new or increased incontinence symptoms, consider talking to your doctor or trying a new product. NorthShore offers a variety of options to help you stay dry and confident.
2. Get moving with the stairs.
Incorporating small amounts of exercise into your day—like taking the stairs instead of the elevator—can lower blood pressure, improve mobility, and even strengthen pelvic floor muscles.
3. Make sure you have all your annual check-ups scheduled.
It’s easy to put off appointments, but your health, vision, and dental check-ups help detect issues early and keep you feeling your best year-round.
4. Drink enough water.
Water is essential for overall health—supporting digestion, energy levels, skin, and even bladder function. Carry a refillable water bottle to make hydration a habit.
5. Start meditating.
We know it’s intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. Start with one minute of mindful breathing a day. Meditation can reduce stress and improve focus.
6. Prioritize your sleep.
Start focusing on proper sleep hygiene. Avoid screens before bed, keep your bedroom cool, and aim for 7–9 hours each night for better mental and physical health.
7. Get your flu shot.
If you haven’t already, don’t waste another germ-riddled minute. Vaccines can help protect you—and those around you—from seasonal illness and complications.
8. Get outside.
Yes, it’s cold. Yes, it’s dark. But even just 10 minutes of fresh air can help boost mood, regulate your circadian rhythm, and support vitamin D levels.
9. Plan a vacation.
Finding time to rest and recharge is essential for your overall well-being. Even planning a trip—big or small—can boost motivation and happiness.
10. Call someone you love.
Carve out an hour each week to connect with a loved one. Strong relationships are a key factor in long-term happiness and health.
11. Start a gratitude journal.
Write down three things you're grateful for each day. You’ll be amazed at how it can shift your mindset over time.
12. Aim for one act of kindness every day.
It can be as small as holding the door open or offering a compliment. These small actions create a ripple effect of positivity.
13. Try a digital detox.
Taking a break from screens—even for one hour a day—can reduce eye strain, improve sleep, and help you be more present.
14. Find an exercise routine you enjoy.
If you don’t enjoy it, you won’t stick with it. Whether it’s dancing, yoga, or walking the dog, make it fun and you’ll keep coming back.
15. Give yourself one new compliment every day.
It’s the mood booster you need and deserve. Positive self-talk leads to real emotional benefits over time.
16. Read a new book.
Diving into a new book helps keep the brain nimble, improves focus, and provides a relaxing escape.
17. Get in the kitchen.
Making the effort to cook more of your own food can give you better control of your nutrition and bring more joy to meals.
18. De-clutter your home.
Nothing feels like a greater sigh of relief than a tidy, simplified space. Choose one drawer, one room, or one closet to start with.
19. Give to charity or volunteer.
Giving back helps improve self-esteem and expands your community. Even an hour of your time can make a difference.
20. Try out Meatless Monday.
The health benefits of a plant-based diet can start with just one day a week. Try new recipes and broaden your nutritional palette.
21. Incorporate more whole foods.
Substitute processed foods with whole foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and nuts. Every swap adds up to better wellness.
22. Prioritize “me-time.”
Especially for caregivers, carving out even 15 minutes daily to rest, recharge, or do something you enjoy can prevent burnout.
23. Cultivate a Daily Routine That Sparks Joy.
Consistent routines help you feel grounded. Try adding one joyful element—like music, movement, or mindfulness—to your day.
24. Explore a New Hobby or Skill.
Try painting, gardening, writing, or anything else new and exciting. Creative outlets nourish your emotional health.
25. Stay Informed.
Knowledge is power. Subscribe to NorthShore’s emails for expert bladder-health tips, product updates, and helpful resources. Stay empowered every day.
Most importantly, remind yourself that health and wellness are never “all or nothing.” Trying any one of the items on this list should be considered a major achievement, and you should be proud of yourself for taking it on.
Furthermore, remember that the new year is really just one more arbitrary day on the calendar. Any of these lifestyle changes can be started whenever works best for you.
Whether it’s the middle of December, the first of January, or July 26th, it’s never too late to make a change for the better. And if the most intimidating thing on this to-do list was finding new incontinence products to better suit your needs – please, please, please give us a call.
Our amazing customer service experts can walk you through different products, provide samples to test, and ensure you feel confident about finding the perfect fit for your lifestyle. Wellness isn’t about perfection; it’s about finding what works for you and embracing it with confidence.
