For additional tips to help you stick to your New Year’s goals, try this:
- Look for ways to improve your health. Ask yourself, Can I drink more water? Stop eating fast food? Become a vegetarian if vegan is too hard? Or exercise more? Asking yourself questions like these will help you form a better New Year goal than if you were to just pick something that you know maybe too difficult.
- Consider your relationships with others. Are there ways that you can be a better friend, spouse, or family member? Enhancing our personal relationships or even being a better co-worker can really enhance our overall joy in life. Make sure to consider your relationships with others as an additional new years goal.
- Are there ways to make a difference? Are there ways you could make a difference in the world? Raise awareness or a cause in the new year? Or volunteer or find a way to serve your community? Not all New Years’ goals have to be personal. They can simply be something that you can do to help others that makes you feel good as the end result.
There you have it! These are just a few helpful ways to start the New Year off to a good start.
Do yourself a favor and make a change so you can forget all that happened in 2020 because you’ll be so glad you did!
I hope you have a healthy and happy holiday, and HAPPY New Year — I’ll be seeing you in 2021! 🙂
