Okay, let's face it, the yearly resolution of working out and staying in shape doesn't get far. It's time to skip that resolution and stick to more practical resolutions this new year.
1. Eat Healthier
There's no need to change your whole diet and stick to a strict 'rabbit food' diet. Start with limiting yourself to only one sweet a day or try to slowly give up your favorite sugary item.
2. Save Money
You can easily save money without trying filling up the piggy bank. Skip the coffee drive-thru in the morning, order a water when you go to lunch, save all your coins, and find the best deals.
3. Leave More Time For Yourself
It is important to spend a little time each week to organize your thoughts and plan your goals for the week. Sit down and take a minute to breathe and do something you enjoy.
4. Say Yes To More Things
Learn to say yes to more opportunities you are offered. It could potentially change your life by finding a new love for something or meeting a new person. Sometimes it is better to do something you are unsure of than to sit back and regret not taking the opportunity.
5. Give Yourself A Break
Sometimes we get so busy running around that we never stop to think about what we really want to get out of this year. Before we know it, the year is over. It's time to plan that vacation.
6. Smile More
When someone smiles at you, it automatically makes you smile. Smiling can turn someone's day around. It is important to look at the positive of every situation. Not every day is a good day, but there is good in every day.
7. Try New Things
It's time to make an effort to do something you've never done before and have always wanted to. Take on a new hobby or travel somewhere you've never been.
8. Keep A Journal
At the end of each year we look back over our memories and always wonder how much we have grown as a person. Keep a journal to relive these memories and to remember these new resolutions.
