You don’t need to become a “new you” this year. No 5am gym routine. No 14-step morning smoothie ritual. Just a slightly more together version of yourself - the one who drinks water, books a dentist appointment before it hurts and maybe stops asking Chat GPT what your symptoms mean at 1am.
This is a low-pressure guide to getting your health, headspace and life admin gently in order, without pretending you’re going to become someone totally different.
-
Start with the basics - book the “I’ll do it later” appointments
You know the ones:
- Dentist (before it becomes hundreds of dollars’ worth of regret)
- GP check-up or blood test
- Skin check after a summer in the sun
- Physio for that neck-from-laptop situation
- Psychologist or GP mental health plan if things feel heavy
It’s not dramatic self-improvement, it’s maintenance. Like servicing your car, but for your body.
-
Make health feel easy, not overwhelming
Self-care isn’t bubble baths; it’s booking the appointment, filling the script and actually going to bed before midnight sometimes.
Tiny upgrades count:
- Swapping one coffee for a glass of water
- Taking your vitamins three days in a row (a miracle)
- A walk and a podcast instead of doom-scrolling
- Saying no to the plans you truly don’t have the energy for
-
Your brain is part of your health too
Therapy, journalling, chats with friends, seeing a psychologist - it’s not indulgent. It’s survival.
Private health bonus? Extras cover can help with psychology sessions, so you’re not choosing between your brain and your bank balance and can budget accordingly.
-
Health insurance = not a future problem
Boring? Yes. Smart? Also yes.
Here’s the deal:
- The Lifetime Health Cover loading means if you don’t get hospital cover before 31, you’ll pay more later
- If you earn over $101,000, hospital cover can help you avoid the Medicare Levy Surcharge (extra tax)
- You get perks like dental, physio, glasses and mental health support depending on the cover you choose
With see-u by HBF, it’s straightforward and actually built for people who don’t speak insurance.
-
You don’t need to transform - just lightly upgrade
Resolutions don’t have to be dramatic. They can be:
- Drinking water
- Finally getting your teeth cleaned
- Setting a reminder to check your health cover
- Joining a fund that feels like it gets you
