I almost missed it

If you follow Reese Witherspoon on social media, then you already know that her feed is filled with photos of her lookalike children, book recommendations (even if she got one wrong) and, most recently, foolproof life advice. 

This week, the 48-year-old actress posted a video on her personal Instagram account, where she shared details about her New Year’s resolution. While her advice for 2025 is pretty spot-on, I couldn’t take my eyes off the bookshelf in the background, which features a special tribute to her three children, Ava, 25, Deacon, 21, and Tennessee, 12.

The selfie video shows Witherspoon sitting in an armchair that’s situated in front of an impeccably styled bookshelf. If you look closely, you’ll notice that the bottom shelf has two framed photos. The one on the left features a close-up shot of Tennessee, and the one on the right is a selfie of Ava and Deacon. 

The clip itself features Witherspoon sharing details about her holiday break and wishing everyone a happy 2025. The Big Little Lies star also reveals that her New Year's resolution is to—drumroll, please—do less. 

“I’m just thinking a lot about 2025 and things that I want to do, which is do less,” she says in the clip. “I want to look at my to-do list and just do less of those things.”

Witherspoon continues, “I am giving you permission in January to just do less. Just do less!”

I’m totally stealing her advice.
