New Year Resolutions

A lot of people make New Year Resolutions. Hence, it is estimated that almost 40% of the population makes resolutions at the beginning of the year. But, the question is how many of us adhere to our resolutions for the entire year? Unfortunately not too many of us have the willpower or ability to carry out our new year resolutions for the full year.

Some of the top New Year Resolutions:

Improve our fitness. Exercise more, eat healthier food, lose some weight, drink lesser alcohol, stop smoking etc.

Improve our state of mind. Thinking positively, enjoying our life, laughing more

Improve our money situation. Save more money, make more investments, spend wisely

Improve our career. Find a better job, become an entrepreneur, work harder at the current job

Improve our education. Especially for students, a promise to study harder

Improve our self. Reduce stress, become more positive, more organize, watch less TV

Travel

Help others by volunteering or doing more charity

Spend more time with loved ones as-well-as, family

Pray more, meditate, become more spiritual

Spend less time on Facebook, Instagram, and other social media

But, unfortunately, most of us break our New Year Resolutions within the first week itself. Thus, almost all of us break all our resolutions within the month of January itself.

To be more successful in following our resolutions for the entire year, follow these simple steps

Don’t make more than 3 resolutions, ideally one or two resolutions are more than enough

Remind yourself of your New Year Resolutions on a daily basis

In conclusion, a simple trick is to write / print your resolution on a piece of paper and laminate this paper and keep it somewhere, where you will see it daily, such as on your bedside. Remind yourself daily of your resolutions.  Therefore, the key is if you follow your resolution for the first forty days, the balance 325 days of the year will be easy. So follow your resolution religiously from January 1^st to February 10^th (40 days) and the rest of the year will take care of itself.
