If you’ve made it to the middle of January and you haven’t given up on your New Year’s resolutions yet, congratulations. And if you’re struggling to keep up your self-improvement efforts to make dinner or hit the gym every day, watching a movie could help. Just pick one that reminds you why you chose these goals in the first place so you can stick with it for another day, month, or year.
Here’s what to watch if your resolution is to ...
- Exercise more regularly: “Wild”- Watching Reese Witherspoon’s emotional journey in this movie isn’t so much uplifting as it is inspiring. You don’t need to take a thousand-mile hike, but maybe channel that energy into your next sweat session. Also try “Brittany Runs a Marathon” for a reminder that the journey of 26.2-miles starts with a single step.
- “Cook more often: “Ratatouille”-Remy’s words, “anyone can cook” will encourage you if you’re trying to spend more time in the kitchen and less money on Postmates. And the movie “Soul Food” can help you remember that a home-cooked meal really brings people together.
- Travel more: “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty”- Talk about travel inspo, Ben Stiller’s character goes around the world by air, land, and sea and returns a different man after everything he’s been through. Or try “Before Sunrise” for the romantic side of travel.
- Invest in your friendships: “Girls Trip”- The ladies in this movie remind us that even though it can be hard to make time for your friendships, it’s important to try anyway. Or try “Bridesmaids” to help you remember what true friendship is all about, while making you laugh.
- Read more books: “You’ve Got Mail”- This one highlights the romance of reading a book and may help you crack open the one that’s been on your nightstand for months. “The Princess Bride” can also remind you what a thrill a book can be.
