A gentler way to begin the year: why consistency matters more than resolutions

January has a way of arriving loudly.

New plans. New goals. New expectations.
A sense that we should already be moving faster, doing more, becoming better.

For a long time, I loved New Year’s resolutions. I genuinely did. I loved the clean slate, the ambition, the optimism of who I thought I could be if I just committed hard enough.

But over time, I noticed something.
The years I felt my best weren’t the ones where I tried to change everything at once. They were the years where I focused on a few small, steady routines and stayed with them.

These days, I don’t set resolutions.
I set anchors.

Small daily practices that support me even when life is busy, unpredictable or imperfect. Practices I can return to without guilt if I miss a day. Practices that work quietly in the background, rather than demanding constant motivation.

Because consistency doesn’t need intensity to be effective.
In fact, intensity is often what leads to burnout.

What I’ve learned, both personally and through years of working closely with women and wellbeing — is that our bodies respond best to steady care. To nourishment we can sustain. To simple, daily routines that support skin, joints and overall wellbeing without pressure.

That philosophy is what sits behind everything I create at NEE-V.

As we move into a new year, I’m not asking myself who I want to become.
I’m asking myself how I want to feel.

More supported.
More energised.
More grounded in my own body.

If you’re craving a calmer, kinder way to begin the year, know this:
You don’t need to overhaul your life in January. You don’t need a perfect routine or a flawless start.

You just need something small you can return to, again and again.

For me, that small daily anchor is NEE-V Collagen.
