Science says new year resolutions are a good idea because we end up dissociating from our old selves and look forward to starting anew. But a little help never hurts, right? The internet is full of fantastic websites and resources to aid in your quest to make a better you.

In 2022, Statista conducted a survey to find the most popular new year's resolutions. Let's see which websites can help you accomplish one of those.

Exercise More (52%), Eat Healthier (50%), and Lose Weight (40%)

The most popular resolution was physical health, with more than half of people making that their top priority. For many people, that means losing weight. But that's just a part of it. You need to look at overall physical improvement.

One of the cooler resources for this is Darebee, made by Neila Rey, author of 100 No-Equipment Workouts. Why? Because Darebee makes workouts fun by tying them into popular culture, and keeps challenging you to do more and more.

Each exercise routine is made into an infographic like "The Hunger Games workout" or "The Batman Workout" and so on. They are all full-body workouts comprising different sets and reps that focus on aspects like power, agility, muscle density, and so on. Everything is available as a freely downloadable poster. And you don't need to go to the gym, either.

Darebee has plenty more, such as a series of 30-day programs, challenges for fitness buffs to push themselves, preparation programs for running marathons or sprints, and so on. There are also downloadable PDFs for motivational posters, meal plans, as well as articles on nutrition, recipes, meditation, and general fitness.

If you need anything more, head to Darebee's Hive discussion forums to talk to others following a healthy lifestyle.

Finance guru Dave Ramsey put his teachings into the form of a web app. EveryDollar takes Ramsey's seven baby steps system and digitizes it.

The idea is to start with an Emergency Fund of $1000, move on to paying off debt, then saving 3 to 6 months of expenses, and then get into investments, college tuition for the kids, paying off your mortgage, and building wealth to give to charity.

The EveryDollar app is a fantastic way to start on your path to being financially solid.

Hamm's articles offer everything from simple tips like keeping a visual reminder of your debt to complex, long-term financial plans.

Sattva is an awesome meditation tool we recommend. It is a special app, in the number of guided meditation exercises it offers, if you're new to the idea of meditation.

The Sattva app lets you customize your meditation based on the number of minutes you have, or the type of help you need. Choose a timed or guided meditation, the ambience you want, and the alarm bell to announce the end of the session. Tell Sattva about your current mood and off you go.

Sign up and Sattva also tracks the amount of time you've meditated, unlocking trophies, and thus turns building this habit into a game.

More than anything else, Sattva's insights engine provides a look at how meditation is improving your life. As we've already mentioned, you need to track your core goal to achieve it, not the steps to it, and Sattva gives you a glimpse of how much more you are getting out of life.
