If you’ve struggled with keeping New Year’s resolutions, you’re not alone. Every year, many of us promise ourselves big changes—more exercise, better habits, personal growth—and then watch as those goals fade by February. But this year, let’s try something different. Instead of focusing on what you want to add to your life, think about what you’re tolerating—those things that drain your energy and weigh you down.

Take a moment and make a list of 25 small things you’ve been putting up with. Maybe it’s that cluttered corner of your home, a difficult relationship, or some long-standing habits that no longer serve you. These “tolerations” might seem insignificant on their own, but together, they consume your mental and emotional space.

Imagine how your life would feel if you let go of even a few of these things. By addressing the things you tolerate, you’re not just clearing space—you’re giving yourself permission to thrive. This isn’t about making dramatic changes, but about letting go of what no longer belongs. Whether it’s emotional baggage, physical clutter, or negative thought patterns, eliminating these drains creates room for what truly matters: joy, clarity, and new possibilities.

As you begin clearing out these tolerations, you’ll begin to feel an incredible sense of relief. The weight will lift, and that rush of freedom will remind you of the power you have to shape your own life.

This year, consider focusing on removal, not addition. Let go of what’s holding you back. Create space for the growth, peace, and fulfillment you deserve and the life that you really want!
