People are constantly setting New Year's Resolutions a couple days before we ring in the New Year. Many people choose to go on a diet, cut out alcohol, or exercise daily. But do you really want to make a goal that you stick to for a month and then forget about all together? Here's six ways to make the new year a great one, without a resolution you'll forget about anyways.
1. Spend it with people you love
One way to make the year a great one is by making sure you spend it with the people you love. It's easy to get caught up in your 'resolutions' and the bustle of the new year. Make sure to keep time for the ones you love and the ones who made last year great. Without them, the year won't be as memorable.
2. Keep a positive attitude
As a child you were told, "You can be whatever you want to be". Have the mindset of a child this year as you think of all the things you want to accomplish. You can do whatever you put your mind to with a little confidence and a positive attitude.
3. Eat healthier
It's hard to accomplish a diet for the new year because it's easy to get discouraged with nasty food without any flavor. Diet isn't a necessity, just try to eat healthier. Healthy eating will give you more energy and make you feel better about your body and health. Don't focus on calories but instead focus on making sure you're eating all your food groups.
4. Sleep!!!
Sleep is oh, so important and we often neglect it due to our busy schedules. Try to start off the new year with a good sleep pattern, early to bed, early to rise. Eight hours is a good goal to make you feel more focused and energetic.
5. Make you time!
As it's necessary to make time to spend with others, it's necessary to make time for yourself. Go on a shopping spree, read a book, see that movie you've been wanting to watch, take a bath. It's important to have alone time and reflect on the day you've had. It's good to be okay with being alone so make sure you take time out of your day for you and only you.
6. Be yourself
Finally, make sure you're spending your year how you want to spend it. Don't do things just because others are doing them. You don't want to look back on your year and remember things that you didn't actually want to do. Accomplish what you want and make your own goals. You'll be grateful when you look back on your year and all you've completed.
As you can see, these are just small things that can make your new year a great one. Crazy resolutions that you'll never accomplish are not necessary. Just make sure you're doing what's best for yourself and the people around you and you'll be set for a great year!
