Self-care and self-love are high on the list of some celebrities’ new year’s resolutions.
Garth rose to fame while playing one of the female leads on the teen TV series “Beverly Hills, 90210” from 1990 to 2000.
Actress Mandy Moore also plans to take better care of herself, according to OK Magazine.
Moore received an Emmy and Golden Globe for her performance as matriarch Rebecca Pearson on the TV series “This Is Us.”
“I feel like I have been very focused on family, which is the way it should be,” she said. “But I want to strike a little healthier balance between taking care of myself, too.”
Licensed psychologist Daniel Clark defines self-care as doing things for yourself that are good in the long run, while self-love is about recognizing your inherent worth regardless of productivity or achievement.
“The path to happiness isn’t through grand gestures but through small, consistent actions that align with your authentic self,” Clark told The Epoch Times on Jan. 1.
“The best New Year resolutions are those that are meaningful to you,” licensed clinical social worker Daniel Gospodarek told The Epoch Times on Jan. 1.
“The deeper the connection you have with the resolution, the more commitment you will have to seeing the resolution through, even when it gets hard.”
Country music singer and actress Reba McEntire is prioritizing her overall well-being.
“My New Year’s resolution is to stay happy, healthy and laugh a lot,” she told OK Magazine.
McEntire is known for her hit songs, such as “For My Broken Heart,” and more recently for coaching singers on the TV show “The Voice.”
According to Drive Research, only 32 percent of adults mentioned improving their diet, compared to 48 percent who planned to bolster their fitness levels. “Jersey Shore” star Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino is among the 3 percent who are prioritizing staying away from drugs and alcohol.
“I need to stay on the same path of recovery,” Sorrentino told OK Magazine. “I just celebrated eight years clean and sober, so I’m going to stay with the secret sauce that’s been working.”
People are prioritizing resolutions that reflect lasting health, mental clarity, and resilience due to years of global and personal challenges, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Miami Beach internist Dr. Haleem MoHammed.
“There’s a shift from short-term goals to sustainable, meaningful lifestyle changes,” MoHammed told The Epoch Times on Jan. 1.
Jared Leto is among the celebrities who is looking forward to working more as a musician, with his band 30 Seconds to Mars.
“We’re touring,” Leto told OK Magazine. “We’re all over the world. It’s pretty exciting.”
“Today” co-host Willie Geist, on the other hand, wants to escape.
“I’m so deep in work stuff, I just want to read a good book more often, and I don’t do it enough,” Geist said.
Some 57 percent of people want stronger social connections and 55 percent of people aim to learn a new hobby.
For example, “learning how to play all these games my niece plays at 4 years old” is 2025’s resolution for “American Idol” and “Wheel of Fortune” host Ryan Seacrest.
Although 64 percent of women feel pressure to make resolutions each year, compared to only 60 percent of men, Gameday Men’s Health founder and CEO Evan Miller has noticed a rising number of men focusing on improving their overall health and well-being.
“We’re seeing more men commit to optimizing their testosterone levels, improving sleep hygiene, and building consistent fitness routines,” Miller told The Epoch Times on Jan. 1.
Gameday Men’s Health is a clinic in New York City.
Dolly Parton, 78, is among the 70 percent of Americans who don’t make resolutions. “I don’t make ‘em because I always break ’em,” Parton told OK Magazine.
Certified pharmacist and breathwork coach Niraj Naik recommends using affirmations, hypnosis, and visualization to help stick to resolutions throughout the year.
“Start to tell your mind what it is you want,” Naik told The Epoch Times on Jan. 1.
“When we engage the power of visualization and imagine ourselves having or being what we want, we start to neuro-psychologically and neuro-chemically re-program our minds and bodies to live in that future state.”
