"To help you make the most of the start of a new year (so that 2025 can actually be your best year ever), we’ve put together the “Better Life Blueprint” Challenge around these five different weekly themes: set your resolutions, manifest your dream life, optimize your health, tap into “Rich Girl” energy, and cleanse your relationships. To offer extra #inspo as you go through the month-long challenge (or to take care of your New Year’s vision boarding), we’re providing bonus tech backgrounds including inspiring quotes from guests and vision boards that help you tap into your highest self every time you look at your screen. Change up your tech backgrounds each week with the new week’s theme, or pick the background based on your resolutions. Consider us your (prettiest) accountability buddy.
How to Download Tech Backgrounds
To download from one of our monthly tech background selections, scroll through the article to find one that you love. Then, click the link to the size you wish to download to access the image and download it to your desktop.
Pro Tip: You Don’t Have to Choose Just One!
If you’re adding your tech backgrounds to a Mac, you can have your tech backgrounds rotate as often as you want. Start by downloading all of the tech backgrounds you want and adding them to one folder. Then, navigate to the wallpaper tab in your Mac settings and scroll down to the button that says “add folder.” Once it’s added, click the “rotate” button and frequency with which you want to shuffle the images.
Week 1: Set Resolutions
This week’s theme of the Better Life Blueprint is to get clear on what you want to accomplish in 2025. The resolutions we set are often rooted in what we think we should accomplish instead of what we’re truly excited about. Do you really want to lose 20 pounds by summer, or is it something you feel you should do to be more confident? Do you really want to get a promotion, or do you just feel like that’s what success is supposed to look like? This year, set goals and resolutions that will genuinely make you feel life happier, healthier, and more fulfilled.
Listen to the new episode of The Everygirl Podcast, “10 Secrets to Achieve Your Resolutions in 2025: Life-Mapping, Glow-Up Tips, and The Psychology Behind Goal-Setting,” available on December 31, spend this week rethinking your goals and setting resolutions that will truly make your life better in 2025, and get inspired with our resolutions-themed vision board.

Self-improvement is important, but if we get into the habit of constantly trying to improve ourselves, we miss out on celebrating what we have accomplished. We so often forget the goal of self-improvement is just to feel happier. This year, avoid the betterment burnout trap; don’t get so caught up in setting new resolutions that you forget you already have so much of what past versions of you wanted. If you’re a wellness girlie or a successful baddie, you need this reminder especially this time of year that’s so focused on goal-setting.

Week 2: Manifest Your Dream Life
This week’s theme of the Better Life Blueprint is to manifest your dream life. Think: feeling inspired about all you want to accomplish, showing up as your highest self, and tapping into emotions like abundance and gratitude to attract more good things to you.
Vision boarding is a useful manifestation tool, and we did the work for you with a vision board you can set as your phone, iPad, or laptop background to constantly inspire you to show up as your highest self.

Listen to the new episode of The Everygirl Podcast with manifestation expert Mimi Bouchard, available on January 7. This episode will break down the concrete steps you need to know to be able to tap into your highest self in order to live the life that feels more fulfilling to you.
While we often think that manifestation means dreaming about being a millionaire, asking the universe for your perfect relationship, or making a Pinterest board about all the things we want in life, Mimi reminds us that manifestation is not about what you want, but the way you feel. When you feel abundance, gratitude, inspiration, and excitement, you begin to manifest your dream life.

Week 3: Optimize Your Health
This week’s theme of the Better Life Blueprint is to optimize your health. Think of it as a week focused on your overall well-being to improve energy, longevity, gut health, and hormones, and feel better in your body. Spoiler: You won’t find any fad diets and punishing workouts here, but rather sustainable tricks of the trade to live (and maintain) a healthy lifestyle.
If you’re in your healthy girl era, allow this week’s vision board tech background to serve as a powerful inspiration to love your body more: eat nourishing foods, move in ways that feel good for you, and prioritize the way you feel.

Listen to the new episode of The Everygirl Podcast with fitness expert Robin Arzón, available on January 14. If updating your fitness, nutrition, or overall health is on your 2025 resolution list, you’ll learn all of Robin’s tricks to optimize your health and feel better in your body.
Robin reminds us that health is not just an absence of bad symptoms. It’s not just about feeling fine, it’s about feeling great; feeling high energy, digesting foods well, getting good sleep, and living fully. Allow this quote to also serve as a reminder that health is the most important currency, and nothing is more deserving of your time and energy than your own well-being.

Week 4: Tap Into “Rich Girl” Energy
This week’s theme of the Better Life Blueprint is to tap into “rich girl” energy. No matter where you are in your financial wellness journey, there’s always something you can do to be more on top of it. Maybe you’ve finally paid off all of your debt and want to focus on saving and investing; maybe you want to stick to a budget this year, or maybe you simply want to get started on your taxes a few weeks earlier. We deserve to feel in control of our finances. This week will help you get there.
Whether you’re a corporate baddie who’s already in your rich-girl era or you feel completely confused and out of control with your finances (been there), allow this week’s vision board to remind you that you are in control of your money, and that you can feel good in your financial life. If you view money as a stressor, it’s time to start looking at money as a tool to live your best life.

Listen to the new episode of The Everygirl Podcast with Gen-Z financial expert Taylor Price, available on January 21. You’ll learn how to change your money mindsets, habits, and routines to thrive (instead of just survive) in your financial life.
Consider this tech background your reminder that living a “rich life” is not about driving a certain car or owning designer clothes; it’s about being financially free and in control of your own money, and making intentional daily decisions that allow you to use money as a tool to help you live your best life.

Week 5: Cleanse Your Relationships
This week’s theme of the Better Life Blueprint is to cleanse your relationships, optimize your friendships, and feel deeply connected in your community. The truth is that we can have the perfect financial budget and exercise routine, but we would never feel fully happy, fulfilled, successful, or healthy if we do not also have strong, supportive, and deep relationships in our lives. If you feel it’s hard to make friends as an adult, think everyone else on social media is having more fun than you, or struggle with any relationship in your life, this week is for you.
Picture this: You have deep and meaningful connections with both older and newer friends, you always feel supported and loved, and you have a consistent third place that adds to your happiness on a regular basis. 2025 is the year we stop feeling FOMO and start feeling fulfilled from the relationships we have in our lives. It’s time to enter your social era.

Listen to the new episode of The Everygirl Podcast with friendship expert Anna Goldfarb, available on January 28. Anna shares invaluable lessons about why we’re in a loneliness epidemic, how to feel more connected in a community, and what “modern friendship” really looks like.
If you miss being a kid when you never thought too hard about your relationships, didn’t wonder if everyone was hanging out with you, and never knew the pain of FOMO, this reminder is for you. You actually can feel like your friendship life is “solved,” and know that the best friendships of your life are coming.
