With almost two months of the year gone, does it feel like your New Years’ resolutions aren’t shaping up? Does it feel exactly like it did when 2019 began? If your answer is yes then it’s time to CHANGE ALL OF THIS! It’s difficult feeling like you started the year with the highest spirits and a few months down, it’s now feeling just like the last year, and the one before that. Here’s a few things you can do to change that up.

Do a Digital Detox

Quitting social media or all digital platforms is an impractical idea, sure. But taking time off of digital platforms and social media will help you a lot in the long run. It helps reduce stress, both mental and physical. It helps to increase your focus and concentration on other things in life that need your attention. So it’s time you put that tablet or phone away and enjoy some time away from the digital world, in the real world.

Start journaling

In life we tend to dwell a lot on the sad things that happen and not think enough about the happy things we experience. The best way to learn to appreciate the good things in life a little longer than the sad ones is to start journaling. No need for a beautiful bullet journal concept, just write what your day was like at the end of your day every day. If you are someone who appreciates looking back on the ways you’ve grown, big or small, then journaling is a must. Doodling while you sort your thoughts out is also an option.

Donate

Not everyone is born with everything, some people have more in life to sustain them and some have less. The first thing everyone’s parents teach them is ‘sharing is caring’. The clothes you didn’t wear the food you might tend to waste, things that you receive that you are most likely to not use can be a source of great happiness for someone else. It’s always better to donate than to waste.

Be kinder to the planet – this is the only one we have!

With it being a very important thing for years, now it’s even MORE important. With the planet and the environment degrading more and more, it’s more important than ever to wake up and take a step ASAP! It is true that an individual’s carbon footprint is very smaller than that of bigger industries, but every step counts. So, if you haven’t yet, do your part for the planet now!

Learn/master a hobby

Hobbies are not just a way to kill time. You learn new things about yourself and discover more areas you can achieve more in. Your hobbies tend to give you mental peace as well as provide a rest from your daily life’s tasks and routines.

Read and educate yourself

Read books, search topics. Educate yourself about the world and your city and everything else. Being unaware of your surroundings is one of the most ignorant habits for humans. Learn about several causes that affect people and animals and make sure you do the right thing for everyone. Awareness and knowledge are the best things to equip yourself with.

Value health – physical AND MENTAL

It’s time we start valuing health, not just ours but also everyone else’s. Today we spend more time criticizing others in several ways instead of uplifting them or even ourselves in that time. This habit not only hampers your mental peace but also others’. A mentally stressed person has a hampered physical health as well. So take care of yourself and everyone else.
