New year new me.
We all say that but most of us are not too sure of what to change.
Although its always a good time to change and improve yourself, most people find it
easier to improve themselves during the first month of the new year so here are 20 new year’s
resolution ideas for 2020.
If you like the idea and want to make it your new year’s resolution, be sure to learn
more about how to achieve it from other resources since the explanations in this video are brief.
1.
Exercise more.
This is one of the most common new year’s resolutions people have.
Starting a new exercise program isn’t that hard but the problem is sticking to it.
One trick is to find one that best fits your needs and it is easy to stick to in the long
run.
For example, if you like cardio and you want to lose weight, you might want to go with
a program that includes some running in it.
2.
Eat a cleaner diet.
This is an extension of the first idea since exercise and diet go hand in hand.
One of the easiest ways to follow through with this resolution is to eat less junk food
and make more home cooked meals.
If you can’t make more home cooked meals, go for healthier alternatives than junk food
when you get food.
3.
Start a new project.
We all have projects we want to start but we never get around to doing them.
Maybe you wanted to start a Youtube channel or start coding up an app but never got around
to it.
Use the motivation you get from the new year to start working on your project.
Don’t be discouraged if progress is slow though.
Starting it is a great first step.
4.
Get more sleep.
A lot of people don’t get enough hours of sleep.
You should have at least 7 hours of sleep per night to function optimally.
Try turning off the electronics earlier to get more hours of sleep.
5.
Learn new things.
Learning shouldn’t stop when you get out of school.
Set a goal to read a book a month or learn a new skill a month.
Learning new things can help make you more income, make you happier, and it is good for
your brain.
Pick interesting topics and you won’t struggle to keep this resolution going.
6.
Earn more income.
If billionaires are looking for ways to earn more money, we should be as well.
Try getting that promotion or working on your side hustle or investing in the stock market.
There are a lot of options out there to earn more money so pick the one you would enjoy
the most.
7.
Save more money.
This is kind of an extension of the idea above since you will have more money if you save
more.
Stop buying things you don’t need, track where your money is going, and try going on
a budget.
You can use the saved money for a nice vacation or to earn more income.
8.
Stop procrastinating.
Procrastination stops us from getting what we want in life and its a problem we all deal
with.
While you can’t permanently stop procrastination, try your best to avoid it as much as possible.
There are a lot of resources out there from hacks to apps to help stop procrastination
so use them however you see fit.
9.
Meet new people.
Having a big network is never a bad thing.
Knowing more people opens up more opportunities to have more fun and to grow your career.
You can meet new people in a lot of places from fitness clubs, local events, and the
internet.
Make a goal to meet a certain amount of people per month and stick to it.
10.
Tidy up and get rid of things you don’t need.
Decluttering your possessions is a simple but great resolution.
Having too much clutter makes it hard to focus on the things you care about so get rid of
the things you don’t use and organize your life.
11.
Work on getting rid of your addictions.
If you are having problems since you are addicted to something, work on getting rid of the addiction.
There are a lot of free and paid resources out there so get the help you need.
12.
Travel more.
Traveling and experiencing other cultures helps you open up your view of the world.
You understand different perspectives better which helps you connect with people more.
Traveling can be costly so make sure your finances are in order.
13.
Learn how to cook.
If you already know how to cook, learn how to make other dishes.
Cooking is an essential life skill everyone should know.
It lets you make your food the way you want, helps you save money, and you can impress
others with your dishes.
As long as you keep striving to improve and avoid common mistakes, nothing will stop you
from making an amazing 3 course meal.
14.
Stop being late.
You know that that friend who is always late?
If you are that friend, you might realize people don’t like it.
Punctuality is held in high regard in society since it shows you are professional and dependable.
Leave the house a bit earlier and stop oversleeping to be on time.
15.
Spend more time with people you care about.
We all only have 24 hours in a day and not that much time in life.
Stop wasting your time on people who bring you down and don’t care about you.
Focus on people you care about and try to cut ties to those toxic friends.
You will be happier by spending more time with people you care about and spending less
time with those who bring you down.
16.
Get a cute pet.
A lot of my friends have been getting pets recently and it had a positive impact on their
lives.
Studies have shown that having a pet can make you happier and give you a purpose.
Understand the responsibility involved and try not to overthink things.
Make sure you get a pet that suits your living conditions and lifestyle though.
17.
Get a plant.
If getting a pet is too much work, try taking care of a plant instead.
Having a plant in your home can help you focus and it cleans indoor air which is beneficial.
A plant is much easier to take care of than a pet and there are great benefits.
Watching it grow is satisfying as well.
18.
Try new things.
We often stay in our comfort zone because well it’s comfortable.
Since its a new year, try to be more daring and try new things you never done before.
Maybe you never tried skydiving and you would like to try it.
Don’t let fear hold you back and go for it.
19.
Catch up with some old friends.
Not everyone stays in the same place for long.
During the new year, you are due for a catch up with some friends.
You have to make an effort to catch up or else the relationship will go away.
Ideally you want to meet up physically if it is possible but catching up through social
media is fine.
20.
Get a new hobby.
If you often find yourself bored over the weekend, you might want to pick up a new hobby.
Find something to do that you find fun like drawing or painting and keep doing it.
If you are good enough, you can turn a hobby into a side hustle or maybe even a career.
