You already know what the New Year means: hearing the phrase “New Year, new me”. To be honest, not many people actually want to transform their lives in a 360 way. It’s acceptable to want to make positive changes to your life. There are a few that can actually be helpful. You truly can be a better person in a year, but trying to make changes to your life that alter your entire personality are not really the best. These are a few I have been trying to accomplish!

1. Eat Healthier:

Saying that you are never going to look at anything remotely unhealthy is beyond incorrect. Making a conscious decision to try to eat healthier is an easier promise to make.

2. Drink more water:

This is a goal we should all make for ourselves, unless you are good about hitting the ounce recommendation every day (I can’t even say I know what it is). I can say that I really need to try to stick to this; coffee isn’t water even though I wish it was.

3. Plan out your Day/Week:

Planning your day and week may seem tedious at times, but it truly does help. There is a certain feeling of accomplishment knowing that you have at least some of your ducks in a row. Personally, I feel like it helps my memory as well.

4. Be kinder to others:

Sure, it is easier said than done, but even a small act of kindness can help. Treat others like you want to be treated. Even small things every day can be very beneficial.

5. Choose a Role-Model:

Work toward the person you look up to in small or big ways. Either way, they inspire you for a reason, so see what exactly inspired you and try to model these actions.
