10 New Year’s Resolutions That You Will Actually Keep
Who’s going to participate in that King Daddy of all traditions, the New Year’s Resolution this year?
Every year, I debate about whether to choose a New Year’s Resolution to carry into the new year. In theory, it is a great tradition. In actuality, people usually stick to their resolutions for a few weeks, and then forget they ever existed.
But, THIS year, I want to start a resolution that will stick.
I think 2021 needs to have a resolution not to SUCK this year — to throw 2020 to the curb, and get on with the good vibes. Who’s with me?!?
Here are a few traditions that YOU can start in the New Year, that will HOPEFULLY last all year long.
Now, these are just a FEW things you can take with you into the new year to start it off on the right foot. What are some other things that you can think of?
I would LOVE to hear what ideas you have for New Year’s Resolutions!
10 New Year's Resolutions That You Will Actually Keep
You can always get good (cheap) books at second-hand bookstores. You can also never go wrong with one of the many FREE books from Kindle!!
You could just make a menu of things you like to eat. Or, you could grab a cookbook, and try something new. You could EVEN sign up for a cooking subscription to make your life easier.
I know, we need SLEEP. But, you can get so much accomplished, and start your day on the right foot, if you only get up an hour earlier each day.
They say that 8 glasses of water a day is a necessity for living a healthy life. I need to start by just getting in 2 glasses. Ha! This drink bottle will definitely help. I'm going to squeeze some lemon into mine. How do you like your water?
Now, I normally put in 4 packet of sugar, and like two tablespoons of creamer into my coffee. But, my doctor says I should try to drink it black. Doctors are no fun. Find yourself some yummy coffee, and start trying to take it a bit less sweet. Maybe by this time next year, we can drink it totally black.
Start your day on a centered, quiet note, and take 10 minutes to meditate, pray, or simply enjoy some quiet time. You will be AMAZED how much better your feel during the day.
Talk about taking a weight off your shoulders! Put your efforts into paying off one single bill. Increase your payments by just a little each month, and you'll have it paid off before you know it!!
I know, my paycheck is GONE before it even hits my bank. BUT, think how much saving even 5% of your paycheck will mean at the end of next year! Save up for something big -- a car, a house, a financial security blanket. You can do it!!
You can do this as much as you want -- once a week, once a month, once every other month -- the point is, get to doing something for someone else.
In this fast-paced world, it is so easy to lose all track of time, and let your famaily slip through the cracks. Be intentional about getting your family together once a month for some quality time together.
