New Year Resolutions

    1. Wake up in the morning: Topmost on your new year resolutions list!

Let’s be honest! How many of us set multiple alarms to wake up in the morning? If we want to wake up at 7 am then we will plan very strategically and time our alarms ranging from 6:50 am to 7:10 am, one at 6:50 then 6:55 then 7 and so on but what we end up doing is keep sleeping. So it’s high time that we accept this fact that even hundreds of alarms won’t be enough to wake you up on time, then what shall you do? If you want to wake up at 7 then plan your day accordingly and just set one alarm for 7 am. Strengthen your willpower and tell yourself “I will wake up at 7” multiple times before you sleep. Let’s break one bad habit that we regret so add this to your new year resolutions list.

              2. Get out of Instagram and get a life

“I got 300 likes on my latest selfie”, “Oh mine had 315 likes”…”Tell me which filter you used?”…Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? I am talking about the current generations trending social media app Instagram. How many of you have actually clicked the picture of your food and put it on Insta? Or upload everything you do, every minute of your life on Insta? Many of us do that right? But in this race for likes and comments, we have somewhere lost our real lives. So this New Year let’s cut short the Insta time and let’s add some Real moments and memories to our lives and enjoy.

    5. Keep a happiness jar

A happiness Jar! It sure sounds interesting and what more it is super easy to do. To start with you just need an empty jar. Every time you do something that brings you happiness, or if anyone else does something great for you, then simply add this memory by noting it down on a piece of paper and fold it and put it in the jar. If one jar doesn’t suffice then take a new one and continue this till the New Year. So by the end of a year, you will be left with jars full of happy memories of the past year and you can open them on the 31st and read. This is a long time investment to happiness and will help you start your new year on a happy note. If you get more creative then you can even decorate the jar, so let’s start investing in a happy new year.

    6. Learn to respect your body

Oh yes. its high time that we realize what’s good for our body and what’s bad. Exercise daily for at least half an hour. Any form of exercise will do, gym, swimming, Zumba or any outdoor game like football. If you are more of a calm person then try Yoga and meditation, they also help strengthen your body as well as your mind. Next step, start eating right. I know your heart skips a beat when you look at pizza, burger and French fries but they aren’t going to make you healthy and fit so include as many fruits and veggies as you can in your diet. Salads are super healthy and so are sprouts and dry fruits. Also, keep smiling, be happy and spread happiness, you know the power of good laugh and you know that it is contagious so keep smiling and spread love.

Respect your body
 

    7. Go natural!

Try fresh and green vegetables instead of the packed products. Organic food is really good for health and so are the food products without preservatives and added taste and color. If you can then start a kitchen garden where you can grow all kinds of herbs and vegetables. Include natural fruit juices in your diet instead of packed ones and you will see the difference of your choice in a very short time. Love nature and respect it. Treat all the animals with kindness and plant as many trees as you can. So this new year go natural everybody!

Go natural!
 

    8. Declutter your life

You really don’t need clothes that don’t fit you anymore and please throw out all you expired items as well. Your unused clothes can bring happiness to a needy person. Donate your old clothes which are in good condition and don’t fit you anymore. The person receiving it will be really happy and you would have done something selfless in the New Year. Donate all your old and unused books to school libraries and also orphanages. Sell all those products which you do not need anymore. Websites such as Flipkart allow you to sell used items online and it is a very easy process to go through. Go minimalistic and see all the space that you will have in your apartment. It will be great to roam around freely so start now and declutter your life.
