Seven New Year\u2019s Resolutions That You Will Actually Stick To<\/strong><\/p>\n

By Lilly Croucher<\/em><\/p>\n

What was your New Year\u2019s Resolution for 2023? Was it joining a fancy gym? Starting that detox? Or was it to travel more?<\/p>\n

Each year we make resolutions just like these, only to fail by the third week of January.<\/p>\n

A study by YouGov found that 72 per cent <\/strong>of people didn\u2019t keep their New Year\u2019s resolutions in 2021.<\/p>\n

So, what alternative resolutions can you make that are affordable and you will actually stick to?<\/p>\n

The easiest way to keep doing something is by making it a habit, so by scheduling the task into your routine, you\u2019ll more easily stick to it.<\/p>\n

Here we have compiled a list of ideas that are healthy, cost-effective and most importantly \u2013 motivating!<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Drop the Gym<\/strong><\/p>\n

Exercise is great for you, but gym memberships can be expensive, especially if you don\u2019t use them.<\/p>\n

Try running. There are loads of free training apps, such as Strava<\/strong>, that can help track your progress or you can join a community running group.<\/p>\n

Maybe try a team sport that meets weekly like Sunday league or Tennis.<\/p>\n

Put walking into your daily routine, walk to the shops, to your appointments or on your lunch break.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Eat healthily<\/strong><\/p>\n

Having a healthy diet doesn\u2019t mean juice cleanses or food subscription services but can be as simple as being conscious of what you are eating.<\/p>\n

There are free meal planners like eatthismuch.com<\/strong> which generates free meal plans for you every day depending on how many calories you eat.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Make time for hobbies<\/strong><\/p>\n

In between doing everything else in life, hobbies don\u2019t usually make it into our busy routines.<\/p>\n

Find regular time in your week for a short activity, maybe it’s learning to cook or reading that book you keep putting off.<\/p>\n

Whatever it is, reconnecting with our passions is great for alleviate stress and protects our cognitive function.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Get the life admin done<\/strong><\/p>\n

We know, it\u2019s boring but completing life tasks like washing the car, repainting the house, selling old clothes you don\u2019t need or filing paperwork can clear away the mental clutter and can give you a great sense of fulfilment.<\/p>\n

Keep organised by using an electronic calendar through emails or using and diary.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Travel on a budget<\/strong><\/p>\n

Holidays and trips can be expensive but if you are flexible and can do without the luxuries, you can grab some great deals<\/p>\n
