Fill your resolution list with easy good-for-you goals! When you make small tweaks each day, you’ll feel fantastic and psyched to make 2018 your best year yet!

Stock Up on Citrus

When you see all those gorgeous in-season grapefruits, oranges, clementines and pomelos in the produce aisle, grab an armful! Winter citrus can help keep skin looking healthy thanks to vitamin C, which aids in collagen production. In fact, an American Journal of Clinical Nutrition study found that people who ate foods high in C had fewer wrinkles and less age-related dry skin than those who didn’t. Try clementine sections sprinkled with pistachios or sweet grapefruit dipped in Greek yogurt for a snack.

Make Veggies the Stars

Whether you’re slimming down or just staying well, vegetables are your friends, said GH’s M.D., Dr. Mehmet Oz. He had women try 10 diets for the “Great Diet Showdown” episode of his show. Tiffany, who lost 31 pounds, said, “I sauté onions, peppers, mushrooms, corn — whatever I have in the freezer — and toss that on a bed of baby arugula and spinach,” she says. (Sounds delicious!)

Book All Your Doctor Visits

Open your calendar app and make all your appointments for the year in one sitting. Not only will you get the anxiety-inducing nuisance over with, but exams will be less likely to get squeezed out as life gets bonkers. Start with your primary care physician, and ask which screenings (e.g., mammogram, colonoscopy) you’re due for. Slot those in, then move on to the dentist’s office, etc.

Eat to Beat Belly Bloat

Dieting is a drag. That’s why GH put together a new cookbook, “400 Flat-Tummy Recipes and Tips” ($20, bookstores). It’s your go-to guide for making smart (tasty!) swaps that can help you reduce that puffy feeling and improve your overall health — no deprivation required.

Share Resolutions … Carefully

This year, you’re gonna drop 10 pounds! But before you post your intent on Facebook, hold up: “Some research shows that telling others your goal makes you feel like you’ve already achieved it,” says Dr. Oz. But other studies indicate that sharing progress can help you keep going, he adds. Dr. Oz’s advice: Confide in one friend, “then share achievements with others when you’re on the road to success.”

Get a Plant

Swing by the garden center after brunch this weekend. Just the presence of indoor plants can lower human stress levels, research shows, and one study found that actively caring for plants calmed the autonomic nervous system and lowered blood pressure. And when people work near plants, they report greater concentration, satisfaction and perceived air quality.

Do. One. Thing. At. A. Time.

Multitasking doesn’t make you more efficient, but it does stress you out, says mindfulness expert Pedram Shojai, author of “The Art of Stopping Time.” “If your focus is fragmented, you’ll likely find yourself getting anxious as new items come up when old ones are still incomplete,” he said. Instead, he suggests, organize your activities into chunks of time, such as kid time and cooking time, and then “commit to being focused in that allotted time and see what happens.”

Scent Your Space

Because smell is associated with the parts of the brain that process emotion and store memories, certain aromas can affect mood, says olfactory expert Rachel Herz, Ph.D., author of “The Scent of Desire.” Research shows that vanilla makes people more relaxed and joyful (mmm, baking), while peppermint can boost energy and lavender can zap stress.

Be a Stair Master

Take 10 minutes to run up the stairs in your office or home. A 2017 study in the journal Physiology & Behavior found that tired women who climbed stairs for 10 minutes got a bigger energy boost than those who had the caffeine equivalent of a can of soda or half a cup of coffee (and burned calories, too!).

Play Your Song

Blasting any happy-making tune can work multiple mind-body wonders, including reducing pain during exercise, elevating mood and lowering stress, research shows. So make a playlist – any songs that float your spirit will do the job.
