4 Reasons Why You Should Not Give Up Your New Year Resolution!
Every year, at least 8 out of 10 people resolve to lose weight as a part of their New Year resolutions. The gym is selected, the advance is paid, vows are made to go every day and then for a week, it is all good. Post which, the gym doors stay open in wait for you all year long! Sound familiar? Oh, and the ‘not going to eat fast food’ resolution which let’s face it, is also probably not going to happen! For 2019, why not try a few not so cliché New Year resolutions that are easy to keep up with and give you some self-satisfaction?
Find common ground with someone who has been annoying you for a while: Some people are just difficult to be with but that does not mean you cannot try. If it is a co-worker, smile and extend the hand of friendship and offer to help them out with their project; if it’s a frenemy, have a talk on what bothers them and how you can overcome it and also take them out for lunch or dinner.
Choose one word for 2019: Instead of focusing on how you want to be all year long, choose one word for this New Year and make sure you apply that whenever you find yourself straying. Some examples of the word can be ‘helpful’, ‘peaceful’, ‘calm’ and so on.
3. Make someone’s life better: Resolutions need not be just for you. You can make them to better other people’s lives too. Small instances like feeding one needy person every day can go a long way in making life seem content. This is kind of cliché but where you can make a difference is actually interacting with that person every day and not just do it because it makes you look good.
4. Unplug yourself from gadgets and technology: You know that thing that you just clicked a picture of and put it on social media to see how many likes you got? That thing is life. Most of us are so absorbed in updating pictures and status on social media that we miss the actual life that goes on around us. Next time you see something that warrants a picture to be taken, don’t! Just enjoy it while it lasts.
