WHAT’S YOUR NEW YEAR RESOLUTION FOR 2017 ?

Spread the love

It’s that time of year again – time to make New Year’s resolutions.  
It’s a time to reflect on the changes we want (or need) to make and resolve to follow through on those changes. 
The best part about the New Year is that it’s a clean slate. There’s a sense of comfort in leaving the past behind, feeling encouraged to let bad habits end with 2016, and becoming motivated to make positive changes in 2017.
BEBEAKINBOADE.COM presents to you 17 New Year’s Resolutions that will guarantee your best year yet in 2017.


PRACTICE GRATITUDE AND POSITIVITY
As soon as you learn how to be more grateful, your whole life could change – not just your year. Instead of focusing on what you don’t have, focus your energy on gratitude towards what you do have. You’ll make yourself miserable comparing yourself to others or focusing on the negative all the time. Just as easy as it is for you to complain about what’s going wrong, it’s equally easy to celebrate what’s going right. The choice is yours, and the positive mindset instead of the negative one will guarantee your best year ever. 

ACCOMPLISH THE INCOMPLETE
If you still feel that the resolutions you made last year and abandoned midway are worth a second shot, give it another chance!

ENJOY LIFE MORE
Enjoying life more has become a popular resolution in recent years due to hectic, stressful lifestyles.It’s an important step to a happier and healthier you! 
get out and try something new! Take up a new hobby. Go to a theater performance, or head to the local spa. 

SPEND MORE TIME WITH FAMILY & FRIENDS
Work shouldn’t always come first!
Make plans to meet up with friends for an evening of comaraderie at a favorite restaurant or take the family to one of these popular places for family fun. 

FIT IN FITNESS
Regular exercise has been associated with more health benefits than anything else known to man. Studies show that it reduces the risk of some cancers, increases longevity, helps achieve and maintain weight loss, enhances mood, lowers blood pressure, and even improves arthritis. In short, exercise keeps you healthy and makes you look and feel better. 
Select a regime you can stick to. A group activity may add the element of fun to the routine. Lose some flab. But don’t set any strict target, for then the chances are you may get de-motivated and quit.

QUIT AN ADDICTION 
It will not take you anywhere good, trust us. If it does you no good, why stick to it? If needed, seek help of support groups or professionals. If you have the will, you shall find the way.

GET OUT OF DEBT
Was money a big source of stress in your life last year? Resolve to spend this year getting a handle on yout finances. Getting your money in order can lead to financial freedom, which is integral to a happy and healthy life. 
You must be specific with your financial goals, though. Rather than telling yourself you want to “save more money” in 2017, you must instead lay out specific expensive habits that you want to cut down on, and have a goal in mind as to how much of each paycheck you want to put into a savings account.

LEARN SOMETHING NEW
Learning something new and interesting is always fun and a value addition too.

GET ORGANIZED
This is the key to make life easy, manage time and live stress free. Make a proper To-Do list, and you are half way there already.

PURSUE YOUR PASSION
One of the most important goals to have is to work towards a career that involves you using your gift and pursuing your passion. A great goal to have for 2017 that will help you work towards your dream job is to start a passion project. A passion project can help you stay focused on your passion, practice your skills and use your gift in order to keep you on track and to keep you motivated.

CONTRIBUTE FOR A CAUSE 
Giving back to the society is the least we can do to make the world a better place to live in.

STEP UP OR STEP DOWN SOCIAL MEDIA ACTIVITY 
If you have been out of touch with your pals and peers, social media would help you get back to the grove. But if your virtual life is affecting your personal life, it is time you remedied that.

TERMINATE THE TANTRUMS  Being opinionated is okay. But having your fuse blown off at the slightest pretext is not. Neither are mood swings. They make you out of bounds for friends even if they do not want that.

GIVE UP ON A BAD HABIT 
Old habits die hard – some really need to – like, biting nails, biting your lips etc.

REMEMBER THE IMPORTANT DATES 
Remembering birthdays, anniversaries etc will make your loved ones feel special, wanted and cared for. If your memory doesn’t help, take the help of technology!

PAMPER YOURSELF ONCE IN A WHILE 
You deserve it – do whatever your heart desires – but remember not to go overboard.

OVERCOME A FEAR OR MENTAL BLOCK 
This will make you feel liberated, it will free your mind of shackles.
