If you’re struggling to decide on a New Year’s resolution for 2019, rest assured you’re not alone. Many of us are still not sure what personal challenge we want to set ourselves for the year ahead. But it’s important not to settle for some generic, clichéd resolution just because January has already begun. A good resolution needs to be authentic and personal.
Here are three top tips for picking the perfect New Year’s resolution for you.
1. Ask yourself what you want.
Never simply copy the resolutions other people are setting themselves (though don’t be afraid to use them for inspiration). Figure out exactly what would make your life better and create a personal resolution which will help you achieve it.
2. Don’t make it too rigid.
We’re all human. None of us are perfect. Many break their New Year’s resolutions because they don’t allow themselves enough slack to succeed. Rather than completely giving up junk food, for instance, think about how much you can realistically cut down on and set a goal that you believe is achievable.
3. Don’t just think about yourself.
Selfless resolutions can prove the most rewarding. Resolutions that see you commit to some charity work, cut your carbon footprint or spend more time with the family can make you a better and happier individual.
