1. Be healthier

Aiming to be healthier is probably the most common resolution year after year. This may include exercising more, training for a specific race, lifting weights, eating healthier, consuming less food, or all of the above. No matter what, being healthier is an excellent goal to have.

2. Take more chances

Some of us could really benefit from taking more chances. Whether you’re looking to step out of your comfort zone in a specific area or be more confident in general, this resolution can lead to a happier, more successful life.

3. Try new things

Making a point to try new things opens up several opportunities to find new hobbies, learn useful skills, and even connect with new people. It allows you to drift from your norm and explore something different and exciting.

4. Be content

Even if you lead a relatively good life, it can be difficult to remain content in every circumstance. It helps to be patient, find enjoyment in the little things, and don’t let small problems bring you down. This can lead to a much happier life.

5. Give up a bad habit

The new year is a great time to give up or cut back on a bad or unhealthy habit, such as smoking, drinking, watching too much TV, spending too much time on social media, and relying too much on technology.

6. Be more organised

Keeping a tidy home and work environment can drastically improve your productivity and unclutter your mind. Additionally, outward organisation and planning typically translate to a more organised life.

7. Take control of your finances

Monitoring your finances and having better control of your money is another popular goal for many individuals. This may include working your way out of debt, sticking to a budget that fits your lifestyle, saving money for emergencies and future use, or all of the above.

8. Be more grateful

Did you know gratitude can make you 25% happier? It’s no wonder many people make a resolution to be more grateful. Start by thinking of something you’re thankful for each day. Being grateful can also help you get along better with others and improve your sleep.

9. Volunteer

Much like being grateful, volunteering and donating to charities has been shown to offer several benefits to the helper, such as giving you a sense of purpose, increasing self-esteem, and making you happier. Not to mention, you can give someone a service or good they may not otherwise have access to.

10. Stop procrastinating

Procrastination often results in not achieving your goals. You can kill two birds with one stone with this resolution. Instead of procrastinating, make a plan and get things done. Don’t let another year pass you by.
