5 new year’s resolution ideas and how to achieve them

-

The New Year is slowly nearing, and with the holiday season already upon us, many people are spending time to reflect and re-evaluate life choices and life styles. New Year’s resolution­s are the perfect opportunit­y for all those who have failed to start making the changes that they said they would make next week, next month, or ‘sometime soon’.

Now’s opportunit­y to sit down and identify what changes and what resolution­s you are going to make in 2017. We at Rainbow Institute decided to give you a bit of help – as majority of people fail to stick to their resolution, you’ll need all the help you can get!

1. Be Strong and Fit - Start eating healthier food, and less food overall: Drink lots of water. Eat healthy. Exercise regularly. Sleep. These key health tips are the foundation to a happy life.

2. Become more confident and take challenges: If you are confident, other people notice it, and it is much easier to have your opinions heard get ahead at work. A good dose of self-confidence will help you lead a much happier life overall.

3. Pick up useful skills or fun hobbies: Just sitting around all day won’t get you anywhere. It is much better to use your free time in a constructi­ve manner and pick up new skills while having fun at the same time. The Future-You will be glad that you did. No matter if you’re interested in creative communicat­ion or sports, enhance your skills.

4. Learn how to be more self-reliant: Technology has made us somewhat spoiled, and we often get well into adulthood without having what it takes to be independen­t and self-reliant. These skills are important to cultivate.

5. Face your fears and insecuriti­es: You will find this particular point masked beneath other New Year’s resolution­s, but fear and insecurity are often the cause of several problems that we want to address. You need to think of it as surviving and controllin­g your fear rather than overcoming it, and it will enable you to shed off a lot of the insecuriti­es that you have.
