Via milestones to victory

'New year - new me' is a classic phrase familiar to us all. But don't put yourself under too much pressure and remember that every little step or change for your well-being is good and will move you forward. Also remember to be patient, as learning new routines takes time.  

But how can we start a change and where should we even start? How to find the right balance so that the end result does not cause additional stress but increases well-being? A good goal is clear, achievable, measurable, and motivating to keep going. But the most important thing is to start. So set yourself smaller goals along your journey to well-being and start towards the finish line.  

The key to thousands of activities

Getting a gym membership is one of the most classic habits at the start of a new year. It can feel like an old-fashioned option, especially if it has not motivated you to exercise in previous years. Perhaps this time your goal is to find a new hobby that will still inspire you next year. Even if the motivation is there, for many people, finding that famous "my thing" can be easier said than done. 

Luckily for you, the sports and culture benefit can be used as a payment method in thousands of activities, and you can try out a range of new hobbies with a low threshold. So take a look at our wide range of activities and go out and find your thing! For example, arrange a date with a friend to try out something new or meet new people through new activities. Nowadays, it's easy to start a hobby even from your home thanks to different online activities, which you can find conveniently in our Merchant search.
