New\u00a0Year resolutions are a fun way to make changes for a new year. Check out these 12 ideas for new year resolutions! I\u2019ve done the hard part for you… Resolutions are usually personal and\u00a0suit\u00a0each individual. They can be hard to keep, especially if you set\u00a0yourself\u00a0a ridiculous challenge\u00a0like \u201cgive\u00a0up all chocolate\u201d or \u201cdo yoga every morning at 6am.\u201d The trick to the best and most keep-able resolutions are the ones that make small but effective positive changes to your life. Let\u2019s face it, if you\u2019re an adult, a new\u00a0year\u2019s\u00a0resolution isn\u2019t going to be kept if\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0a drastic change to your regime. Small but mighty steps are the key.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve divided up ideas for new year resolutions into four main categories. 1. Remove the bad: reduce your weekly trips to\u00a0maccies\u00a0from 3 to 1? Good start. 2. Increase the good: 1 morning of yoga a week? 3. The New: it\u2019s never too late to try something out for the first time! 4. Monies: simple ways to save!<\/p>\n
We are all always wanting to eat better. A good new year\u2019s resolution involving food should be small but doable.\u00a0Something\u00a0to make a difference to your eating habits but without making you feel guilty when you don\u2019t always stick to it. Stick to something small like reducing takeaways, sweets, even meat, dairy or anything. Stick to making small\u00a0weekly\u00a0reductions. Don\u2019t cut the bad stuff out completely \u2013 life is too short not to be tasty!<\/p>\n
Reducing the amount of\u00a0alcohol\u00a0you consume is a great new year resolution. After the boozy Christmas holidays, a lot of people embark on dry January to give their livers a wee break. This will also\u00a0probably\u00a0be quite a welcomed break for most people who go hard over the holidays.<\/p>\n
Reduce your carbon foot print! Try having an eco-friendly new year\u2019s resolution. Reduce your plastic use, electricity use, meat intake… there are so many small things you can do to contribute. A great and necessary new\u00a0year\u2019s\u00a0resolution idea I would highly recommend this new year.<\/p>\n
Big up the\u00a0self-love\u00a0club. Add little things to your week that support you. \u201cLove your body, it\u2019s where you live!\u201d Take time to give yourself some self-care. This doesn\u2019t have to be massive. It could be as simple as trimming your toenails. But, pay attention to these little tasks and recognise them as self-care. Bubble baths, meditation and even burning some nice smelling incense can make your week more relaxed and a little bit happier.<\/p>\n
What is one of the best aspects in your life? Hopefully your friends! Make the effort to have a little more of them in\u00a0your life. A good idea for a new year\u2019s resolution is ensuring your friends are part of your weekly routine.<\/p>\n
A great idea for a new year resolution is try and read a little bit more. This doesn’t mean embarking on a Dicken’s novel if you’ve never been much of a reader. But expanding your mind and continuing your knowledge is so important! Find what works for you. Reading more could be the news, Reddit, a magazine, a book. Just paying attention a little more can help you build informed opinions.\u00a0Plus,\u00a0it helps escape a Netflix binge. If you can read a chapter of something a night before bed that’d be a great start.<\/p>\n
Try a new activity! This could be a sport, a gym class, bowling (maybe you\u2019ve never tried it). Branch out and embark on a new\u00a0adventure. Even if\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0as simple as trying a new recipe. I resolution that encourages you to try new activities may encourage a hidden talent you never knew you had!<\/p>\n
Something great to do to try out something new is google what is around you! Maybe you haven\u2019t properly explored your home town. Maybe your new in town or a\u00a0uni\u00a0student far away. Get online and check out what is around you. You may come across things you\u2019d never have known were there.<\/p>\n
Maybe you\u2019ve gotten used to travelling to the same spot on your holidays. This year why not mix it up a bit? Have a look at somewhere you\u2019ve never been before! Get to explore a new culture and push yourself out of your comfort zone.<\/p>\n
A great way to save money, especially after Christmas, is to have a boycott on buying clothes (we weep). It might be hard, but it’s probably one of the most effective ways to save some money as a new year resolution. Dig through your wardrobe and reuse some of your old\u00a0faves!<\/p>\n
Set up a savings account for yourself. Maybe have a goal or a thing you want to save for. This could be a holiday or a deposit for a house.<\/p>\n
Take a little break from eating out, even though those Wagamama gyoza’s are so\u00a0so\u00a0good… eating in can improve your cooking skills and save you a lot of money.<\/p>\n
