We all know the saying "New year, new me" but what if I had a great year and like how things are going in my life?
Just because it is a new year does not mean that we have to change anything in our lives. We can certainly still look for new goals to have in the new year but don't feel like you have to lose or gain anything just because society deems the new year as a time to change things. Don't worry about going on a diet or doing something new every month just because your friends think it's the right thing to do. If there is nothing you feel that you want to change in your life then don't! Most of us will say that we are going on a diet or think of some elaborate new year resolution but after maybe a month, we give up and forget about it. If we create these goals for ourselves that we are going to give up on then why even bother creating them?
Instead, if you really want to change something for this new year, set a small goal for yourself. This could be going outside for an hour a day, spending less time on your phone, or spending more time with your significant other. We shouldn't have to feel like we need to change but maybe making little changes in our life isn't such a bad thing. Making realistic goals for ourselves is going to be more valuable in the long run and we may actually be able to say that we completed our new year's resolution successfully.
However, my point is, don't worry about going big and following the crowd this new year. Personally, I don't have any new goals for myself which is why I'm writing this article to encourage others that you don't need to change anything if you are happy with how things are in your life! So make realistic goals if you want but don't go crazy because I can guarantee that you don't need to.
Have a happy and healhy 2018!
