A Guide To Leveling Up This 2025 By Giving In To Good Temptations

Honest question: do you think you were part of Santa’s nice list last year? Or do you think your name was on the naughty roster instead? Whatever your answer is, it’s a good time to remind yourself that you’ve made it to the new year and that you deserve to give yourself a pat on the back regardless of your journey.

And as we begin 2025, taking time to acknowledge the good things that happened in the past year is necessary as you start a new page in your book. So here are ten ways that you can celebrate yourself and the people you love this new year.

1. Gift a spa date for your parents.

Being a parent is a 24/7 responsibility, and what’s a better gift for them than a relaxing spa day where they can only focus on themselves? If you want a more personalized touch, you can even make your own ‘coupons’ that they can use whenever they want where they can get a ‘free day of cooking’ or ‘pick up little siblings day’ from you.

2. Give your siblings their own budget for their birthdays.

Give them ‘credits’ that they can spend for whatever their heart wants on their birthday. Not only will this make sure that you get them exactly what they want, but it also teaches them how to work with a budget.

3. Go on a ‘No-Internet’ day with your significant other.

Make the most out of your bonding sessions with your S.O. by going on a day without any devices or access to the internet. Instead, try doing other activities that can help you connect minus the distractions, like a couple’s painting session or even playing board games.
