As we come barreling in on the end of 2024, you may have mixed emotions about what 2025 may bring, especially if it turns out to be anything like this one has been. There are ways, however, of making sure that the new year will be one filled with joy and fun, and changing the intent of your resolutions can be one of the easiest ways to do so. Scratch off the ones that you probably aren’t going to follow anyway (eat healthier, workout more, spend less money) and write down that you will eat better, play more, and travel more, and when you choose to make your first resolution to take a Cocoa Beach vacation and stay in our Happy Palm Stays sanctuaries, we can guarantee that 2025 will be a year you will eagerly look forward to arriving.

Resolve to Spend More Time at the Beach

There’s a magic in “Vitamin Sea” that will make even the worst of times feel better, and our white sand beaches will set the stage for a new year filled with peace, joy, and serenity. Year-round warm temperatures ensure that whenever you visit, you will find yourself dipping your toes into the crystal-clear waters framed by those white sands, and whether you dive right in, perhaps learning a new skill (surfing comes to mind!) or simply take your shoes and walk along water’s edge as the sun rises and sets, we can promise it will be impossible to feel bad. The sounds of seagulls squawking as they dive for an unsuspecting beachgoer’s sandwich, the sight of waves rolling in and rolling out again, and the feel of sand and sea squishing between your toes are all things your senses will begin to crave and may entice you to plan a second or even third return to Cocoa Beach!

Resolve to Eat More Dessert

Assuming you only get to make so many resolutions in your lifetime, how many have you wasted promising to eat healthier? You spent much of 2024 feeling stressed, and everyone knows that stressed spelled backwards is desserts, so take the hint and make 2025 the year of saying yes to dessert! Mom’s Famous Giant Carrot Cake served at Big Daddy J’s 5 Great Things (3850 N Atlantic Avenue in Cocoa Beach), Death by Chocolate served at the Mansion of Melbourne (1218 E New Haven Avenue in Melbourne), and Florida’s state dessert, Key Lime Pie served at Grills Seafood Deck & Tiki Bar (500 Glen Cheek Drive in Cape Canaveral) are just a few examples of some of the sweet treats you can enjoy during your 2025 wanderings in the Cocoa Beach area. And although you are headed there for the dessert, we can assure you that each eatery offers a full menu of food and drinks that you will want to explore in depth!

Resolve to Notice the Small Moments

In life we tend to ooh and ahh over the big moments, family vacations, stunning sunsets, that new car you just bought, but the small moments are equally worthy of your attention. Maybe it is the way the sun shines down on your toddler’s face as it lights up at the sound of the roar of a lion during your visit to Brevard Zoo, or maybe it is the way your spouse unconsciously grabs your hand as you are walking along shore’s edge while the moon glistens off the waves. These small moments may not be worth writing in your diary about, but they are the ones you will treasure when that toddler is grown with toddlers of their own.

Resolve to Spoil Yourself

Why is it we always put ourselves last in the order of importance? We give up the last piece of pizza, we wear our old shoes for another year in order to afford the prom dress for our teenage daughter, and we put all our thoughts into giving the perfect gifts to others when we should take some time to spoil ourselves as well. Your Cocoa Beach getaway will be the perfect time to spoil yourself, perhaps with a visit to Butterfly Beauty and Wellness Massage & Spa. Located at 1980 N Atlantic Avenue Suite 511 in Cocoa Beach and offering a large selection of massage and spa services, spoiling yourself may be the best resolution you will ever make, especially when you see how much easier it is to handle real life when you start each day feeling your best.
