A new year comes with opportunities that can help you grow as a person. It comes with a second chance of becoming an ideal self of yours that you might be wanting to be.
That is where resolutions come in handy, a purpose of this kind can help you to stay focused and give a clear picture of what needs to be done.
A great idea is to write your purpose down and pin it on your board – as a reminder to be on track with it every day.
Since the idea of committing to something for the entire year might be daunting at first, you should begin by taking small steps.
So here we are, to assist you with fun and purposeful resolutions for the upcoming year! After all, when you find something challenging, adding a fun twist makes a world of difference.
Let’s look at them!
1.Try a New Look
If you wish to try a new approach altogether, it should be not only on the inside but on the outside too.
What we mean to say is that when you decide to change your perspectives for the better, you shouldn’t leave anything behind.
A new look such as a complete hair transformation or wardrobe change can help you more than you think – for the simple reason that your appearance can make you or break you.
That said, having prominent changes in your overall appearance can help you boost confidence and make your resolution journey a tad simpler.
2.Try Fun Hobbies
The new year is the time where you get the opportunity to think things through. If you play your cards right and with consistency, any beneficial difference that you undertake to make can become a part of you for your entire life.
For instance, if you’ve been feeling too monotonous with your work and need to introduce something that makes you happy internally, you can revoke your baking passion, if any, and take up chocolate making experiences to make your time worthwhile. And since valentine’s is just around the corner, why not choose to experience these classes with your partner? After all, Valentine’s is incomplete without some chocolates!
Similarly, you can take up gardening with your family for a two-way benefit – a new hobby plus timely bonding with your fam. We say it’s a win-win!
3.Tune the FOMO down
It is natural to feel left out when you miss out on certain events during the past year.
You cannot help but feel alone and start making hurtful scenarios in your head – did she not invite me on purpose? Do I not fit in my friends’ group anymore? Do they have a better time without me?
There could be a simple/unintentional reason behind the plan you weren’t invited to, an easy way is to communicate. Let them know your feelings before coming to any assumptions and conclusions.
Even if you come across an unfavourable answer, there are correct ways and means to come to a decision that can make both sides happy.
4.Go for Finer Things
It is very common to have urges about exploring your cities and forgetting about it because of something or the other.
New year, therefore, brings with itself the opportunity to rediscover the museums, art galleries, literature and history of your city.
A fresh approach like this one can help you build a better image of your hometown and make you feel happy on the inside.
That said, you should also highlight the cultural activities that take place in your surroundings and learn to appreciate the finer things in life. Culture inspires creativity and teaches you to be open-minded and tolerant; something that can change our lives for good and we tend to underestimate that.
5.Watch Out for Vices
Unhealthy habits like smoking, drinking and an unhealthy diet are the usual suspects. When it comes to habits that rip you from the inside – that’s something you need to look out for.
We’re talking about habits of avoidance, self-sabotage, self-pity or constant state of worrying – these can, very quietly, suck the life out of your system and leave you stranded with nowhere to go.
A good new year resolution could be to identify these with self-introspection and work on them, one day at a time.
Wrapping Up…
Resolutions often make you feel overburdened with the quality of commitment that it comes with. In simple terms, it is very easy to get lost in this procedure.
While it is important to be absolutely consistent with your resolutions, you should also look out for yourself.
An easy way is to have a realistic resolution; something that asks you to look after your mental and physical health while adding an element of fun in it.
