The new year is here —and has been for over a week — and if you didn't make any resolutions per your good judgement then it's time to make some changes. Although New Years resolutions are indeed the worst, 2017 means many new things are coming and we all must prepare for any possible outcomes; meaning any new relationships, new outlooks, a new job, new eating habits, new president, etc. In order to increase chances of likeableness, everyone needs to have a positive attitude when facing new or old challenges, and whatever challenges life may throw right in your face you can dominate them, as long as you have the mindset that you can. Regardless of what life presents you with, let's think of all the other things you can do. Here's a list of things to do to help you become a happier and healthier you.
1. Go to the gym.
Maybe start doing this once it gets warmer so it'll put you in a better mood not when the wind-chill makes the temperature is zero degrees. That will definitely not make anyone happy.

2. Eat better.
One thing I do not live by is eating right. I love junk food and carbs way more than the next person, but I'm going to make myself eat a lot more fruits, and force vegetables down my throat.
3. Get more sleep.
Obviously not getting enough sleep puts anybody in a cranky mood, so the next time you're laying in bed- don't watch that extra episode or play one more game on your phone! Turn off the lights and klonk out.
4. Be less angry.
Holding on to grudges and having intense animosity or stress is not good for your heart nor your attitude. Try to work on saying your pleases and thank you's and having a smile on your face to brighten others' days even when yours sucks.
5. Have good hygiene & take care of your body.
Please. For everyone's sake. A smelly you is not a happy you.
6. Spend time with family and friends.
Some people may get on your nerves but when that happens you can always turn to the ones that you love and love you in return.
7. Make your goals clear.
Set goals and ways to achieve them. Grades, fitness, you name it. Having a goal and achieving it is absolutely one of the best feelings in the world.
