We've subscribed to the Shreddy app, have filled out our gratitude journals and have actually eaten something green for a change (er, aside from Green Triangle Quality Streets).

We're so ready for a brand-new year of putting our health and happiness first.

To start on our fitness journey, we need some brand-new gym gear to help us feel motivated. It's just science, okay.

Luckily, the good ol' high-street do a stellar selection of workout clobber that is worthy of a mirror selfie or two. What's more, it's delightfully affordable, without sacrificing quality. All we could hope for in 2022.

Non-rubbish New Year's Resolutions to make in 2022:

Starting the year in a global pandemic means that we don't even have the energy to pretend to be a shiny new person for the first few weeks of January. Getting through each day is enough to contend with right now, thank you very much. However, there is nothing wrong with setting goals and challenges to help you feel more balanced, happier and all-round zen for the year ahead. Here are some resolutions that absolutely don't involve running a marathon or waking up at 5am...

1) Start a new hobby: whether it's pottery or baking bread, now is the time to make the most of your free weekends and quiet evenings. Anything that gets us off our phone for a bit, gets a yes from us.

2) Make your bed first thing: a tidy bedroom equals a tidy brain, people. It will take you less than a minute and will help you feel more... y'know, together.

3) Invest more in friendships: the pandemic has meant we've felt more alone than ever before. Remember second and third-tier friends? Send WhatsApp messages, forward memes and even make their day with a thoughtful letterbox gift. Ah, we feel better already.
