That time of year is rapidly approaching us again.

You know the one; the time where we make huge resolutions for the year that we hardly ever hold up to. Maybe this year, we should take baby steps, instead of one giant leap.

So here are some resolutions to try out this coming year that you may just be able to stick to.

1. Do something out of your comfort zone

What's great about this is that you can make it as easy or difficult as you want! Whether it's trying a new food or jumping out of an airplane, you're sure to be able to do it.

2. Take the stairs

Not quite ready to commit to a full workout routine? Here's a simple change you can make to ease into that direction.

3. Make more phone calls

Texting isn't very personal. Try making phone calls when you can, it's a lot more meaningful, trust me.

4. Get ahead of the game

Plan birthday and holiday cards and gifts ahead of time. You'll feel so much better when you're not scrambling at the last minute.

5. Give a compliment once a day

But don't just spew out compliments that you don't really mean.

6. Eat out less

Not only will it save money, but you can also ensure that you're eating healthy.

7. Have more gatherings

Make time to have friends and family over once a month and make memories.

8. Only use credit cards for emergencies

Start only spending the cash you carry. This will keep you from spending money willy-nilly.

9. Write letters

Write a handwritten letter to someone special once a month.

10. Stop depending on your phone

Even if you're sitting by yourself. Take in your surrounding, people watch; enjoy the moment.

11. Wake up earlier

Instead of rushing out the door, make time to enjoy breakfast or a cup of coffee.

12. Start using SPF...everyday!

Work a sunscreen or SPF moisturizer into your everyday routine.

13. Read a new book

Start setting aside time every day to start reading all those books on your reading list.

14. Eat out by yourself

For some reason, a lot of people have issues doing this. But trust me, there's power in knowing that you don't need someone with you at all times.

15. Refrain from gossiping

You'll be a lot more trustworthy and won't feel as stressed.

16. Be more open

Communicate your thoughts and feelings to others. You'll feel better about yourself and will likely be more respected.

17. Quit the late-night snacking

This will benefit your health greatly.

18. Give yourself more credit

Instead of focusing on mistakes, focus on improvement.
