You’ve Dropped the Booze – Now What?

Start Your LifeFit Journey

You’ve decided to drop the booze for a while — good on you.

And now that you’ve reclaimed your time, energy and focus… what are you going to do with it?

At One Year No Beer we live by a simple philosophy:

MindFit + BodyFit + FoodFit = LifeFit

When you strengthen all three, your whole life levels up.

Below are ideas to get your journey started — but don’t stop here. Explore, experiment, discover what aligns with you. You might even uncover a whole new version of yourself.

MindFit

You’ve already made a massive decision by choosing change — so let’s build on that momentum.

Becoming More Mindful

Most of us rush through life without noticing what’s happening around us — or even within us.

Mindfulness isn’t hard, but it does require slowing down just enough to feel the benefits.

Here are simple ways to begin:

• Don’t judge things by how much they cost — high or low.

• Stop expecting the worst. Neutral is already a huge upgrade.

• Never miss a chance to compliment, thank or appreciate someone.

• Take small pauses during the day to notice your breath.

• Invest time in friendships and relationships — it’s the most valuable time you’ll ever spend.

Small, consistent shifts in awareness can transform your mental fitness.

BodyFit

You don’t need to be a fitness model — unless that’s the goal.

Our aim is simple: help you feel good and live healthier.

If the gym isn’t your thing, start at home. There are countless free online workouts — and you don’t need fancy equipment.

A cheap skipping rope is enough to kickstart your routine. Try this 20-minute circuit tonight:

20-Minute Jump Rope Workout

5 minutes — Double-leg jumps

Steady pace, soft landing, use your wrists not your arms.

45 seconds — Plank

Elbows under shoulders, core engaged, steady breathing.

2 minutes — Single-leg jumps

30 seconds per leg, repeat twice.

2 minutes — Fast double-leg jumps

As quick as you can while staying controlled.

45 seconds — Opposite arm/leg extensions

Hands under shoulders, knees under hips. Alternate slowly with core engaged.

Repeat the entire circuit once more.

A simple routine like this builds strength, confidence and momentum faster than you think.

FoodFit

The world of healthy eating can feel overwhelming — too many opinions, too much noise.

You don’t need to become a nutrition expert. Just start with small wins.

One of the easiest upgrades?

A daily smoothie.

It’s a quick way to load your body with vitamins, fibre, antioxidants and real energy.

Mix and match fruits, veggies, liquids and boosters. Follow any recipe you like or build your own.

The goal isn’t perfection — it’s progress.

Be Proud of Your Start

No matter where you enter the LifeFit journey, remember this:

You made the choice to change.

You made the choice to grow.

You made the choice to live alcohol-free — and that alone is huge.

And when you hit your first milestones?

Jump into the OYNB Store and celebrate that pride with some gear that reflects the new you.

Testimonial

“Loving life & not missing the booze one little bit.

Woke up at 6am every morning this week to run, and I’ve started a beginner’s meditation course — something I’ve wanted to try forever.

I have an upcoming night out and I’m not even worried because I feel strong enough to stay alcohol-free (and I’ll be doubly prepared just in case).

So glad I finally made this positive change.

Love reading everyone’s stories, the support, and the daily affirmations.

Thanks OYNB & troops.”
