New year, new me. It's the same every year. Individuals start off their new year with their resolutions, usually to workout more often, sleep more, eat healthier, or to get better grades. All are very cliche and overused. Instead of having a new years resolution altogether, try doing small little things each day that will improve your overall happiness. There are much simpler and easier ways to make changes that don't make a dramatic impact on your lifestyle. Start off small by maybe waking up five minutes earlier each day or just setting a goal to drink more water. It's the little things that count that can build yourself up for success. Here is a list I composed of little things you can do each day to improve your happiness.
Spend Your Money on Experiences
Instead of spending your money on things, like the new iPhone or Chipolte for the 3rd time that week. Put some money aside and plan a trip to somewhere you've never been or maybe go skydiving or skiing!
Drink More Water
This is an easy one that you are probably sick and tired of hearing about. Drink lots of later, it is refreshing and so much better for you than pop or coffee. Stay hydrated!
Take Naps
If you have the time to spare take a 30-minute power nap. Naps are known to boost memory and give you more energy to tackle your day!
Make Your Bed Every Day
Making your bed in the morning is a great way to start the day will doing something productive and you will for sure appreciate it after a long day.
Cut Out Pop
It's not as hard as it seems. Cutting out pop is so easy to do and it will improve your health tremendously. Stick to tea, water, juice and maybe the occasional Gatorade or lemonade!
Plant Something
Whether it be an indoor plant or an outdoor garden the satisfaction of growing and nurturing something results in great satisfaction.
Yoga
Doing yoga or putting aside time to meditate will relieve a lot of stress and tension you might have building up throughout the week.
Walk Your Dog
Odds are your dog is always willing to go out on a nice little walk. It's something that will make them happy and you, plus you get a nice walk in where you can enjoy the fresh air.
Don't Hold Grudges
Talk it out with the person you are having some sort of controversy with. Grudges can mentally wear you out and make you miserable. Don't go through life angry
Live In The Moment
Stop trying to plan the future. Stop regretting the past, stop wondering what could have happened. Make now count!
Give Back
Nothing gives anymore more satisfaction than giving back and doing a good deed for the day.
Laugh More
Laughing, I personally believe, is one of the best feelings. It makes you very happy and full of amusement.
Hold The Door
Holding the door for someone behind you is a simple thing that can be done every day out of common courtesy for one another.
Be On Time
If you can even be early that's even better.
Be Committed
Whatever you're doing whether it be work, school or sticking to an exercise plan, be committed to it. Get your task done efficiently and to your best ability.
