new years resolution ideas

Alright, it’s time for a fresh start.

“New Year = New Me”, right?

Last year around this time many of us thought, “Man, this is gonna be MY Year!”

HA. What a knee slapper that one was.

Anyway, this year is actually going to be “MY Year!”

How about we make this new year one of the best years yet!

What better way to kickstart a new year than to make a New Year’s Resolution list!

Some may think, “Yeah, Jenna. I always make a New Year’s Resolution List.”

Okay, but like, do you actually make a list or is this said “list” just a thought in your mind?

via GIPHY

That’s what I thought.

We need to turn this year into something great.

Trust me, we are all in need of a good year!

So let’s make a list together – Yes, actually write your resolutions down.

This list can be anything you want it to be – just make sure it’s things you can actually accomplish this year.

Let’s start with the basics:

#1 Get A Pen and Something to Write On

New Year's Resolution Journal

Writing down your New Year’s Resolutions is scientifically proven to help increase your chances of achieving those goals.

Having them written down on a piece of paper or in a journal can help you set realistic goals by setting timeframes and writing in future tenses.

Plus, having a cute little New Year’s Resolution journal by your bedside is always a fun little thing to remind you of your goals!

Here’s a fun New Year’s Resolution Journal: This Year I Will…: A 52-Week Guided Journal to Achieve Your Goals

The best part about writing them down, is you can feel the relief of accomplishment when you cross it off!! BEST. FEELING. EVER.

#2 Write Your List In Future Tense

When you start your resolution list, make sure you write in future tense.

This helps your ~future self~ stay motivated!

Think: “I will and I am”

  • I am going to…
  • I will do…
  • I will make…
  • I will learn…

#3 Be Simple and Realistic With Your Goals

make simple and realistic goals for yourself

You don’t want to over-complicate your life with these new goals.

They should flow with the life you are currently living.

If one of your goals is to change up your life, then that’s great, but rather than making that the statement of your goal, try something like this:

  • Wake up earlier
  • Drink more water
  • Stand more, sit less

Just make sure you write your goals based on what you actually see yourself doing – and sticking with!

#4 Brainstorm Ideas

brainstorm new year's resolution goals

Okay, after reviewing the guidelines for your list and finding a cute journal, it’s time to start thinking of your New Year’s Resolutions.

Your list can include goals that are short term as well as long term goals that you can keep working on after this year is over.

*You can definitely add some tasks that are short term that help with your long term goals.

An example of this might be to lose 10 pounds by next year, but your long term goal is to lose about 30 pounds by the age of 30.

See where I’m going with this?

#5 Time To Create Your List

 

time to create your goals list

Your list can be however long you want it to be.

Maybe you just have one goal that you want to really focus on for the new year – that’s totally okay!

Whatever goals you write down, they should be ideas that you plan on doing, sticking with, and accomplishing.

A great idea while writing your list out is to add a square box by the side of the idea. This way you can have somewhere you can check off while still being able to see your goal.

Need some help thinking of New Year’s Resolutions?

Well, lucky for you I created a few ideas that you might want to add to yours!

New Year’s Resolution List

1. Drink more water

Pro Tip: Have a water bottle with you at all times. It will subconsciously remind you to take sip!

One of my favs: HydroFlask

2. Stand more, sit less

Pro Tip: Invest in a fitness tracker to help remind you to stand!

My favs: Fitbit or Apple Watch

3. Cook a new meal once a week

Take your cooking skills for a spin and cook yourself a new recipe!

4. Create a cleaning schedule

Okay, cleaning can be a pain sometimes especially when you feel like you “have to.”

Pro Tip: If you create a cleaning schedule, then you’ll always know when you’re due for a cleaning.

Instead of trying to remember the last time you washed your sheets, you should write a reminder to do so!

Eventually, this will just come as a routine to you.

5. Make your bed every morning

Not only will this make your bedroom look all nice and tidy, it will also kickstart your morning routine!

I always feel more productive when my bed is made.

It just tells me that, “sleep is over – time to get started with my day!”

Here are more tips on how you can better you health and wellness.

6. Start saving more money

Create a better budget that helps outline your spending habits more evenly.

7. Plan a vacation

Plan a fun vacation!

Life doesn’t seem all that bad when you have fun things to look forward to!

8. Pick up a new hobby

Try learning something new that you can practice every day.

Pro Tip: Not only does this help decrease the amount of screen time you have on your phone, but it also helps with stress and anxiety.

Check out a list of fun hobbies you can learn here.

9. Start taking care of your skin

Pro Tip: Skincare is one of the best things you can start doing this year.

Not only does a skincare routine help with acne and making your skin look flawless, it also helps with stress.

10. Practice self-care

Pro Tip: Take some time each day to appreciate yourself, respect yourself and believe in yourself.

Some people don’t understand that self-care is the backbone of your mental and physical well-being.

Enjoy what you have and remember, it’s the little things that matter.

💜What Does Real Self-Love Look Like?💜 self-l 💜What Does Real Self-Love Look Like?💜
self-love doesn’t always mean liking what you see in the mirror...  ☞ it’s the removing yourself from the people who make you feel like you’re not enough  ☞ it’s the desire to challenge yourself when things get hard  ☞ it’s the realization that you are worth it and you are a BOSS BABE!  ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡  but there will be days that you forget what self-love is...and on those days, it’s being able to forgive yourself, learn from your mistakes and try again.  be good to yourself today and always
