35 New Year Resolutions That Enhance Your Well-Being

Every year I make the same resolution as the year before. I make a conscious effort through January and sometimes February, and when March rolls around I've fallen off the wagon. Most adults choose to get in shape and I'm not any different but the truth is, I like pizza and beer (A LOT) and toning up isn't enough of a priority for me to make time for the gym. I've decided that this year will be different. I'm going to pick a resolution that I will actually want to accomplish. If you're still deciding or haven't even begun to think about it yet, I have compiled a list of new year resolutions for you to pick from that will keep your on your toes all year long.

1. Spend less money on THINGS and more money on ADVENTURES.

2. Put a significant amount of money in a savings account.

3. Go back to school.

4. Get a new, better paying or more satisfying, job.

5. Snag a promotion at work.

6. Spend more time with friends.

7. Make time for a hobby.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
