KEEP YOUR 2025 GOALS IN CHECK WITH THESE TIPS
2025 is officially in fullswing, with almost 74 per cent of Aussies deciding this is the year to pick up a new hobby, change up daily routines, or set big goals, according to Finder.
Luxo Living, Australia’s largest online boutique furniture store, is saying ‘no’ to giving up this year, offering simple and practical ways to turn unmotivating resolutions into lasting habits. The secret to successfully sticking to goals might be simpler than expected, by creating an environment that supports lifestyle changes.
Here are Luxo Living’s tips to keep up the most-popular goals set by Aussies:
Boost productivity
For those working from home and struggling to overcome the post-holidays slump, simple changes to your environment can help boost productivity significantly. Studies have shown that creating a comfortable working environment can increase productivity by 17 per cent, helping to stay focused for longer. Now might be the time to turn that makeshift workspace into a proper home office that works for you. The Aglaya Adjustable Boucle Swivel Office Chair is designed for comfort, making it easy to settle in and stay focused for longer stretches. It’s simple and versatile design fits effort-
lessly into any space, helping to create an environment that feels both practical and relaxed. With a setup like this, sticking to New Year’s resolutions all year long will feel much easier.
Add more books to the list
For many Aussies, the goal of cutting down on screen time often starts with picking up a new hobby. If the new hobby was to read more and, by March, you’ve only made it 10 pages into your second book, it might be time to rethink the setup. A cozy reading nook can turn any corner into the
“A COMFORTABLE WORK ENVIRONMENT CAN INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY”
ultimate escape, creating a dedicated space to enjoy and encourage longer reading sessions. Complete the new space with the Zamira 151cm Boucle Storage Bench with Throw Pillows. Stylish, space-saving, and adaptable, it fits effortlessly into any corner of a home, transforming it into the ideal place to unwind. Add a few candles or personal touches
to turn the space into the perfect relaxation zone. With built-in storage, it is perfect for keeping books organised and within reach, making it easier to stay on track with reading goals throughout the year.
Create a tidier home
One of the most common New Year’s resolutions is to become more organised, with many people focusing on their homes as the starting point. For those who feel overwhelmed by misplaced belongings but live in the chaos of a cluttered space, being tidy can be a challenge. Starting the year by decluttering sets a positive tone for the months ahead, but the way it’s done makes all the difference. The Rowan 3-Tier Cube Storage Display Unit with Doors provides the perfect solution for concealing mess and regaining control of a space. Its seamless design combines display and hidden storage, helping maintain a tidy and organised home. A great tip is to colour-code the shelves and label items into categories to set up a simple system that will minimise clutter and reduce stress, making it easier to keep the space organised all year long.

TV SCREEN TECHNOLOGIES TALKING TECH
Television technology has come a long way since the days of bulky cathode-ray tube (CRT) sets. I had to purchase a few highend televisions for a client, which led me to investigate the types of technologies and the best solution for them. Here is a summary of my notes...
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) – These displays use liquid crystals that align to control the passage of light, creating the image you see. They require a backlight to illuminate the picture.
Manufacturers Include Samsung, LG and Sony.
Strengths: They are more affordable than other technologies. They also boast excellent brightness, making them suitable for well-lit rooms.
Weaknesses: Lower contrast ratios, less vibrant colours and deeper blacks. The picture quality can degrade when viewed from an angle. Motion blur in fast-moving scenes.
Light Emitting Diode (LED) – Two primary technologies are in use: edge-lit LEDS (positioned along the edges of the screen) and Full-Array Local Dimming (LEDs are placed behind the screen). Manufacturers include Samsung, LG, Sony.
Strengths: LEDs are more energy-efficient than LCDs. Excellent brightness levels, making them a great option for bright rooms. Thinner and lighter TV designs.
Weaknesses: Uneven backlighting can cause light bleed, affecting picture quality.
Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) – Each pixel in an OLED display emits its own light, resulting in perfect blacks, infinite contrast ratios, and exact colour control. Manufacturers: LG, Sony and Panasonic.
Strengths: Unparalleled picture quality with perfect blacks, stunning contrast, and vibrant colours. Viewing angles are exceptional.
Weaknesses: OLEDs are more expensive than LCD

and LED TVs. They are also not as bright as LED TVs, which can be a drawback in very bright rooms.
Quantum Dot Light Emitting Diode (QLED) – Utilises quantum dots – tiny nanocrystals that emit light when light strikes. Quantum dots are placed in front of the LED backlight. Manufacturers include Samsung and TCL.
Strengths: They have exceptional brightness levels, making them suitable for bright environments. They also have better contrast and viewing angles compared to traditional LCDs.
Weaknesses: QLEDs still do not match the contrast levels of OLEDs.
WHY PREHAB IS SO IMPORTANT
Any major surgery can induce functional decline and pain, which can also have negative implications on health care utilisation and quality of life. Prehabilitation is the first stage in the rehabilitation pathway.
‘Prehab’ prepares you both physically and mentally for the surgery and the rehabilitation that follows. It can be applied to people who are anticipating upcoming surgery or are participating in demanding physical activity. Many studies have shown that those who undergo ‘prehab’ have much better recovery following their surgery, with less pain, a shorter hospital admission and more function. It can also reduce post operative complications. For patients considering orthopaedic surgery, it’s important to understand that the condition of your overall health and fitness can impact your post-surgery recovery. For example, being overweight increases stress on the joints
and can increase in-surgery risks. Patients requiring a joint replacement, who maintain or work towards becoming as fit and healthy as possible, build a strong foundation for a better recovery. Prehab is paramount to a successful joint replacement and should be started ideally at least six weeks prior to your surgery. There was a 38 per cent rise in the rate of total knee replacements for osteoarthritis from 2005–06 to 2017–18!
During the initial assessment, your physiotherapist will assess you to identify common impairments such as poor muscle activation, mobility limitations and balance issues. You will then begin to address these issues prior to surgery which allows you to recover quicker
with better outcomes.
Prehabilitation training can be a combination of aerobic exercises, strength training, and functional training – all of which are used based upon the needs of the individual.
So why should I do prehab before my surgery?
1) Decrease your pain levels prior to surgery
2) Prepares you physically and mentally for rehab
3) Familiarise yourself with the exercises you will need to do post-surgery
4) Improve general fitness, balance, and conditioning for your surgery
5) Improve muscle strength and endurance
SEIZURES AND OUR PETS
Unfortunately, seizures can happen to animals as well as people. If you’ve ever witnessed your pet go through a seizure, you know how distressing the experience can be.
While seizures are more commonly associated with dogs, they can also affect cats and other animals.
Understanding the signs, causes and treatment options can help pet owners manage this condition and ensure their pets receive the best possible care.
Recognising seizures in pets – Seizures are one of the most common neurological conditions in dogs, with veterinarians regularly treating canines for this disorder. Seizures result from abnormal electrical activity in the brain, leading to involuntary muscle movements and other neurological symptoms.
Common signs of seizures in dogs and cats include:
• Collapsing onto their side
• Rigid body posture
• Twitching muscles or paddling legs
• Glazed or unfocused eyes
• Loss of bladder or bowel control
During a seizure, pets may lose consciousness or seem disoriented. Some animals exhibit unusual behaviours before the seizure, such as hiding, excessive drooling, whining, or appearing anxious. If you notice these signs in your pet, especially if they occur frequently, veterinary attention is essential.
Causes of seizures in pets – Seizures can have many underlying causes, including:
• Idiopathic epilepsy: A genetic disorder with no identifiable cause, often diagnosed in dogs.
• Head trauma or brain injury: Damage to the brain can trigger abnormal electrical activity.
• Toxins and poisoning: Exposure to harmful substances like certain foods, pesticides, or medications can provoke

seizures.
• Liver or kidney disease: These conditions can lead to metabolic imbalances affecting brain function.
• Brain tumours: Growths in the brain can disrupt normal neurological activity.
What to do if your pet has a seizure – If your pet is experiencing a seizure, remain as calm as possible. Move objects away from your pet to prevent injury but avoid touching their mouth, as they may unintentionally bite. Time the seizure. After a seizure, pets may be disoriented, so provide a quiet and safe space for recovery. Call us on 4736 2027.
SWIM WITH US ALL YEAR ROUND
Every year the end of summer comes up far too quickly and I find myself urging everyone to just keep swimming – all year round – for so many reasons…
You can swim all year round: As much as I love being outside in the summer enjoying the fresh air, sunshine and water, there is nothing better than a swim in a heated pool followed by a hot shower in the cooler months to refresh and energise you during the day time, or relax you ready for sleep.
Swimming is low impact: Whether your discomfort is from injury or ageing, your muscles and joints are cushioned in the water, supported but also met with resistance as you swim or workout. When injured, modified swimming is the perfect way to burn calories and stay toned.
Swimming is an excellent calorie burner: Just 30 minutes of exercise in water is the equivalent of approximately an hour’s non-water
exercise, and you even continue to burn calories even when you’ve gotten out of the pool!
Swimming makes us happy: Swimming can help improve mental well-being, reducing tension, anxiety, depression, anger, confusion and increasing energy levels. Due to the use of large muscle groups and the endorphins released, swimming always makes me feel better, physi-
cally and mentally.
Swimming is great fitness training: Alongside other sports, for strength, stamina and mobility – who wouldn’t want that competitive edge out on the sporting field!
But overall, swimming is an activity that enhances a person’s life at every age and stage. Once you know how to swim, it’s a skill you can use for a lifetime, in so
many settings. You can try snorkelling, playing water polo, participating in water aerobics, swimming in a triathlon, or scuba diving –and demonstrate a level of comfort and enjoyment in the water that inspires your family, including your children, to do the same. To make it even easier to swim with us all year round, we are offering a special offer in March for Weekender readers – get your first lesson free upon enrolment! The offer is applicable for all new enrolments and re-enrolments, and all enrolment T&Cs apply. Just mention the Western Weekender to get your first lesson free and enrol with us today!

AQUARIUS
JANUARY 21 TO FEBRUARY 19
Put on your problem-solving hat Aquarius! Retrograde Venus and retrograde Mercury reignite your desire to help a friend, neighbour or family member in a creative and hands-on fashion. You’re keen to tackle a problem (at home or within your local community) in a strategic and innovative way. When it comes to money matters, Saturn urges you to think conservatively and plan for the long-term. So spontaneous spending sprees are (temporarily) off the menu.
TAURUS
APRIL 21 TO MAY 21
Don’t become so focused on the busyness and miniature of day-to-day life that you lose sight of the bigger picture. Look beyond the horizon Bulls! Setting shortterm and long-term goals, dreaming big dreams, and making time for meditation, contemplation and/or relaxation are the secrets to a successful week. Beyond that, your motto for the future is from birthday great, singer-songwriter James Taylor, “The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time.”
LEO
JULY 23 TO AUGUST 23
This week the Sun (your power planet) links up with Saturn and Uranus. So try to get the balance right between the status quo and change; between responsibility and spontaneity; between stability and freedom. If you are travelling (especially interstate or overseas) make sure you double-check your itinerary, as Venus and Mars reverse through your travel and adventure zone. And – if you can – avoid signing contracts and legal documents until after April 13.
SCORPIO
OCTOBER 24 TO NOVEMBER 22
It’s a good week to revise your diet and/ or rejig your fitness routine, as retrograde Venus and retro Mercury activate your health and well-being zone. It’s important to choose nutritious food and regular exercise that you enjoy, so you can maintain healthy habits into the future. Your daily work schedule could also be disrupted (and feel like it’s going backwards) or you could find yourself out of step with a colleague. Patience and persistence will see you through.
PISCES
FEBRUARY 20 TO MARCH 20
Expect a challenging week, as Saturn links up with the Sun (in your sign) plus Venus and Mercury reverse through your money zone. Perceptive Pisceans – aim to be super patient with your partner, extra kind to your family, oh-so cooperative with your work colleagues and uber disciplined with deadlines. And try to keep spending to an absolute minimum, as you curb shopaholic tendencies, stick to a strict weekly budget, and put any extra cash into savings
GEMINI
MAY 22 TO JUNE 21
Mercury (your patron planet) starts reversing through your networking/peer group zone on Saturday. So do your best to surround yourself with dependable, sensible, unflappable people. And make sure you double-check all texts (before you press send) and all appointment times (before you leave home). It’s also a good week to reset boundaries and expectations in a romantic, platonic or business relationship. Keep flexible because things are constantly changing!
VIRGO
AUGUST 24 TO SEPTEMBER 23
Mid-week is wonderful for catching up with an old friend. Then Mercury (your boss planet) is in retrograde mode from Saturday until April 7, so resist the urge to over-analyse, over-worry, over-stress and over-react. By all means think things through, but avoid getting caught up in an endless, obsessive loop. Try to relax and let your creative side express itself. As birthday great Albert Einstein observed, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.”
SAGITTARIUS
NOVEMBER 23 TO DECEMBER 21
This week the Sun and Saturn hook up in your home zone, so extra domestic chores and/or family responsibilities could cramp your spontaneous Sagittarian style. Venus and Mercury are also reversing through your friendship zone, so an old rivalry could resurface or a controversial new friend could stir up your established peer group. Friday’s positive Sun/Uranus link favours making new discoveries at work or entertaining loved ones at home.
HOROSCOPES
ARIES
MARCH 21 TO APRIL 20
Many Aries folk (like me!) have had a bumpy start to 2025. After 11 weeks in retrograde mode, Mars (our ruling planet) finally turned direct on February 24. Then Venus started reversing through Aries (on March 2) and this week – from Saturday – Mercury starts reversing through Aries as well! How much can a robust Ram take? If you have any major plans, projects or trips in the pipeline, don’t activate them until the last retrograde (Venus) finishes on April 13.
CANCER
JUNE 22 TO JULY 22
With Venus and then Mercury reversing through your career zone, the next few weeks could be tricky at work. Some possible scenarios? Your boss gives you extra work with short (and stressful) deadlines; a colleague becomes very difficult to work with; or some staff take sick or holiday leave, which increases your workload. If you’re looking for employment (or want to change jobs) then don’t start sending applications out until after April 13.
LIBRA
S EPTEMBER 24 TO OCTOBER 23
Perfectionist-prone Librans love things to run smoothly but (courtesy of Venus and Mercury reversing through your relationship zone) there’s disruptive energy about this week. So drop the carefully planned schedule and take things as they come. A relationship with a lover, relative, neighbour or work colleague could veer off in a confusing direction. Or something you say, text or post on social media could receive a disappointing response.
CAPRICORN
DECEMBER 22 TO JANUARY 20
On Saturday, Mercury turns retrograde (until April 7). Mercury is the planet of clear thinking, communication (talking, texting and writing), transport, travel, commuting, commerce, computers, media and the Internet. So – when it’s retrograde – it’s not a good time to do the following things … sign contracts; start a job or business; buy a phone, computer, car or home; launch a website; install new software; go on a business trip or embark on a big holiday.
