Great tips for keeping those resolutions!
You might be like me. I’ve already dumped my resolutions. Didn’t succeed so well at those. But then I got to thinking… Why can we only turn over a new leaf once a year? Here’s a great list of things we can all do — daily! — to be better people!
– Do a clean sweep. Take a weekend to get rid of things from your office or your home that you don’t use anymore. Break away from clutter by letting go of unnecessary things once and for all.
– Choose one thing to boost your health and well-being. Instead of the usual weight-loss goal, start with one new healthy habit and focus on that until it really becomes a habit. Then add another. For instance, drink six to eight glasses of water a day, add 20 minutes of walking or add five fruits and vegetables to your diet daily.
– Name a theme for your year. Give your year a clear focus and an intention. The “Year of The New Career,” “The Year of the Diva,” “The Year of Getting Fit” and “The Year of a Positive Attitude” are some examples.
– Do one thing a day towards your dream. Make a commitment to do one thing daily, no matter how small, to move ahead a dream or project.
– Give back. Raise money or volunteer your time to improve your community or the condition of people who are in need of help. You’ll be surprised how good helping others will make you feel, and motivate you to do good in your own life.
– Recruit a cheering squad. Make sure you have good supporters in your life to help you stay motivated to make your change. Teach the naysayers how to be more helpful and call on your cheering squad whenever you need them.
