New Year, New Me; not a new concept. Year after year we hear people say that the next year is the year that they will not only survive, but they will thrive. Some people throw themselves into a gym and stop going as often after a week, while others throw themselves into their work too quick and burn themselves out. I am absolutely not saying that you should completely throw out the idea of a few New Year's resolutions, I am saying to make ones that you can stick to for that year and the years to follow. Don't make them too dramatic; those can be harder to stick to for the long run. Don't underestimate yourself either, however. Set attainable and realistic goals this year to ensure that this year, you can be a newer and better you. Here are 30 suggestions I have seen and have heard of to help make your resolutions last longer than in previous years.

1. Drink more water.

2. Ditch the multiple soda's a day and try to replace some with tea.

3. Pause your favorite show and go adventure where you live. You may be surprised by the beauty of your town and the surrounding towns.

4. Try your absolute hardest to get more sleep at night.

5. Hit the gym more often than before.

6. Make time each day for activities you love.

7. Try new things; you may surprise yourself.

8. Spend less time staring at your screen and actually experience your life.

9. Eat better (treat yourself; everything in moderation)

10. Find the positive side of not so hot situations.

11. Stop saying "later" and say "now".

12. Go out and live the live you get jealous of others for having.

13. Do the thing you wanted to but were too afraid to.

14. Be more true to yourself.

15. Attempt to relieve stress in any way possible.

16. Be more present for the people who need you.

17. Realize that you are better then you let yourself admit.

18. Give your care time to those who really need it.

19. Do at least one thing a day that is out of your comfort zone, even if it is ordering a meal that you wouldn't usually order.

20. At the beginning and end of every day, be thankful for the life you have.
