With the New Year quickly approaching, many people are scrambling to write themselves a list of resolutions that they hope to take on throughout the course of the next year. Unfortunately for most, the resolutions that they have in mind often aren't realistic enough to ever accomplish, and they're just diminished to writing on a piece of paper.
Rather than aiming for some far-fetched goals that you may never accomplish, here are 10 practical New Year's resolutions to make this year:
1. Put your mental health first.
2. Put more time into schoolwork and find better methods to study.
3. Develop some new friendships and strengthen the ones you already cherish.
4. Call your parents and siblings at least once a week, even if it's just to tell them you love them.
5. Instead of focusing on losing weight, focus on becoming more body-positive and loving yourself more.
6. Give back to those in need.
7. Truly appreciate everything amazing you have in life.
8. Take a break from social media and take time to appreciate life beyond the screen.
9. Give yourself a break, whether it's taking more down-time or going on vacation.
10. Find a reason to be grateful for life every single day.
