With every new year, people set out to better themselves. For some, it's changing a bad habit like snacking when you're not hungry or smoking.

For Persian Pop Priestess and Spiritual Gangsta, Asa Soltan, self-improvement occurs all year long. 'We always need to be striving to live our best life,' she states. 'New years is a great time to remind ourselves what is important, meaningful, and purposeful in our lives.'

From love to style, the Shahs of Sunset star and fashion designer reveals five easy ways to hit the proverbial 'reset button' in 2019.

Happy 2019: For Persian Pop Priestess and Spiritual Gangsta, Asa Soltan, resolutions should be a combination of several things, including directing your attention inward

It shouldn't just be on January 1: 'We ALWAYS need to be striving to live our best life,' she urged. 'New years is a great time to remind ourselves what is important, meaningful, and purposeful in our lives'

1. Be You + Do You

It sounds simple but Asa says that it is not.

'Only YOU know your life's path. Nobody has the insight and instinct that you have about your life. Go within and find out who you are and what your passion is, then go after it full force.

'You are 100% responsible for your purpose and fulfilling that.

'Stay focused and let your Passion be your guide. Do not get distracted by side chatter. In 2019, more passion and focus, and less side chatter!'

It's your life: 'Go within and find out who you are and what your passion is, then go after it full force.' Pictured in a long leopard kaftan from her line Asa Kaftans

2. Express Yourself

The reality star believes that it is important to express yourself both creatively and emotionally.

'For me this is as much about communicating with my loved ones as it is about my style.'

Asa owns and operates her own lifestyle brand Asa Kaftans, and a brick and mortar store on Abbot Kinney Boulevard (a.k.a. 'coolest block in America') in Venice, California.

'When I was little growing up as a 10 year old refugee girl in Hamburg, Germany we had very little as far as material things, but my life was so rich in style.

'We had no money to buy all the "latest and greatest" that other kids had, so right from the start I put together outfits from what I had and what was around me.

'My style was raw and fresh and expressing myself through my outfits was my Super power. This pure energy was and is my magic.

'Protect your Magic at all cost. It's this creative force that has guided me throughout my life that was also the genesis for Asa Kaftans. A clothing line totally straight from my Heart.'

3. Have Rituals

Asa believes in the power of small daily rituals to ground and balance you. Her book "Golden" centers around them.

'Most people rarely spend time with the most important person in their life...themselves,' she admits.

It can be as simple as a small 5 minute morning meditation on the things you are grateful for in your life.

'My Gratitude list today included: my Son Soltan's smile that lights up my heart, the delicious left overs from my mom's dinner party last night, the sunlight that was creeping through the curtains this morning, and the internet!'

4. Build True Relationships And Let Go Of Negative Ones

'This was one of my biggest lessons last year,' she shared.

'The impact of positive relationships are critical for growth and true happiness; negative relationships are like poison.

'Know your worth and seek friendships and relationships that are at that level or above. Sometimes it can be hard for people to recognize and identify abusive relationships in their lives because we get so used to them and normalize them.

'In fact, many of us are so emotionally broken down from continuous emotional drainage that it is part of our lives.

'But no more! We must honor our truth and respect ourselves enough to let go of abusive relationships. It's the only way to a truly happy and fulfilled life. More Love. Less hate.'

5. Spread Compassion And Kindness

'Understanding others and having an ability to feel other human's pain and need is essential for a happy life.

'Keep your heart open to others and their suffering and be kind and generous as much as you can. You never know what a great impact a small gesture makes.'

She explains that giving is not only about money, but about being generous with your heart and soul.

Asa recently visited the Elizabeth House, a California-based home that provides care for pregnant and parenting women in need, and dressed it's residents in kaftans from her line.

'Spread Love and smile more,' she suggests.
