New Year’s Resolutions to Transform Your Year

January 1st is just around the corner, and for many of us, that means it’s time to set our annual New Year’s resolutions! Even with good intentions, many of us do not reach our goals. 

A study from last year showed that almost half of Canadians set resolutions. However, only half of those people followed through on their past resolutions. This means about one quarter of Canadians are accomplishing the resolutions they set. 

The best way to ensure you can follow through on your goals is to set yourself up for success from the start. Did you know your CAA membership could help you cross that finish line in 2025? Let’s discuss some resolutions you could try and how you can use your benefits to succeed this year! 

Home Resolutions 

Home is where the heart is, so doing what you can to accurately show that heart around your space is a great goal to set this year! Here are a few things you could try to achieve for your home: 

• Painting: A fresh coat of paint is a quick way to completely transform any room. Going from neutral to bright or dark to light makes a world of difference with minimal effort! Check out how your membership can earn you discounts and CAA Dollars with Dulux Paints. 

• Learn to cook: New dishes, small appliances, bakeware, and more can serve you some fresh motivation for your cooking goals. Your membership can help through our partnership with Stokes—take a look and start saving those recipes now! 

• Start a business: Local businesses are very important to our community. Maybe 2025 is the year you start your own! You will need good office supplies to set up your workspace. Using your membership when you shop at Brother can help you take that first step. 

Health and Fitness Resolutions 

This is a significant one! Many resolutions each year focus on health, both physical and mental. You may have set these goals yourself in the past! Lucky for you, we have many Rewards partners who can help you get the job done this year. So, what health goals will you set this year? 

• Take more vitamins: This is a small, easy step you can take to drastically improve your overall health. Jamieson Vitamins is a great brand to get them from, so check out what your membership gets you with their products! 

• Improve physical health: This goal is a little more vague, and this could look quite different for every person! Whether you hope to lose weight, build muscle, eat better, or go natural for your supplements, Well.ca has options for all this and more. 

• Exercise more: Experts recommend at least 150 minutes of exercise per week to maintain good health. Sometimes the hardest part is the motivation to get started! If you feel more motivated when you wear the right clothes, Columbia Sportswear and Altitude Sports are for you. 

Beauty Resolutions 

Focusing on beauty for New Year's resolutions can be a great way to boost confidence and practice self-care. By upgrading your skincare routine and trying new beauty techniques, these resolutions can help you feel fresh and renewed this year! 

• Improve your skincare routine: If you have acne, dryness, wrinkles, or other issues, there are products to help you feel great! Thanks to Rewards partners like Clinique, you can get everything you need to start building that 2025 glow. 

• Try new makeup techniques: New trends keep coming from beauty influencers, and it can be fun to try them! If this is your goal, places like Sephora and MAC are the places to go and collect your supplies. 

• Transform your hair: From new styles to fresh colour, changing your hair can be a great way to start the year feeling good! Get your products from Chatters or Bumble and bumble so you can have what you need for this resolution. 

Clothing Resolutions 

Revamping your wardrobe can be a fun and practical New Year's resolution. Trying new styles, cleaning out your closet, or buying classic pieces can boost your confidence. Refreshing your clothing choices helps you show your personal style! 

• Refresh your wardrobe: From casual clothes for weekends with your friends to business wear for your new job, the options out there are endless! Try Roots or RW&CO. if you’re ready to see some change in your closet.
