How to kick-start your new year goals in Elsternwick Village

This year is going to be my year! I’m going to get fit and healthy, kick a few career goals, and have a whole heap of fun!

Who doesn’t start the new year with these lofty – and totally admirable – New Year’s goals? This year, with the help of Elsternwick Village, they might even come true.

Elsternwick Village is all about helping us live our best lives, and no matter what your specific New Year’s resolutions, we’ve got you covered.

Here’s how:

Recharge and revive

A key ingredient for achieving all your New Year’s goals is making sure you have the energy and vigour to make the plays and get those runs on the board – and that means making sure your body and mind are rested and energised for the year ahead.

A great way to rejuvenate your body and soul is with rest, relaxation and pampering at Elsternwick Village. Treat yourself to a classic relaxation massage at Takagi Massage or Remedy Bar, or make a foot massage at The Reflexology Studio part of your new regular routine.

Energy levels come from within, so pay special attention to the fuel you’re feeding it. Glo Health and Perfect Pantry are great stores for vitamins, supplements and other health food goodies, but make sure your core diet is also designed for health by shopping at Elsternwick Village’s fresh food grocery stores.

Confidence and energy come from knowing we look our best, so treat yourself to a new look with a cut, colour and style at one of Elsternwick Village’s award-winning hair salons, and schedule in regular manicures at Jade Nail Salon, JA Nails, or Sapphire Nails.

Shake up the fitness routine

Laziness is rarely the reason we let fitness routines fall by the wayside – boredom is.

Elsternwick Village has loads of fun and interesting new ways to achieve your New Year’s resolution to get fit, so why not try something new?

Try out a Pilates class at Strong Pilates, put on the gloves and let off steam with a boxing class at UBX, or find out why everyone is talking about F45 Training. Stretch out and relax at Yoga Tree or meet new friends and get into a spin at 6 Degrees South Health and Fitness.

Get organised for school or work

Getting organised and streamlining the way we do life is always the top of most people’s New Year’s resolution lists.

Getting organised is a two-part operation: first you have to clear up and declutter, then you have to organise your space and your processes.

Decluttering takes a while, so make sure you allow enough time to get the job done properly. Need a hand? Talk to the folks at professional organisers, Dr DeClutter and see how they can transform your space.

Next, organise your home office or school desks with folders, boxes, files and all your other work and study needs at Elsternwick Village by popping into Officeworks, Elsternwick Office Supplies & Tatts and Mr Pickwick’s Newsagency.

Centre Com and Universal Toner & Inkjet have all your computer hardware and printing needs sorted.

Start a new hobby or interest

There’s no better way to keep your mind sharp and your motivation fuelling than by taking up a new hobby or mastering a new skill, and Elsternwick Village has that well-covered.

Ever wondered if you’ve got what it takes to be an artist? Find out by taking a pottery class at Ceramiques, or getting some friends together for a night of painting and wine at UpVibes Paint & Sip Studio.

New experiences don’t have to involve bold steps, they can be as simple as switching out your daily choices for something a little different.

Instead of heading for your favourite section, next time you’re at Avenue Bookstore check out a title you would normally walk past; instead of going for the much-loved rom-com, head to Classic Cinemas and see the latest action and adventure film.

New Year’s resolutions aren’t just words on paper, they’re a commitment to achieving goals and living happy and healthy lives, and Elsternwick Village is here for that.

At Elsternwick Village, you can turn your New Year’s goals into positive changes that make wellness and success part of your life into the new year and beyond.
