With New Year just around the corner, it would definitely be a good idea to sit down and evaluate the year before. One way to do that is to take out your checklist from last year. If you haven’t got last year’s checklist, make one this year!
The problem with many checklists, however, is that they may contain the ‘unrealistic’ factor. Decided to study 20 hours out of the 24? The resolution isn’t going to last more than a month or two(if even that long), let alone the rest of the year. What good is a resolution like that? (not that you shouldn’t study at all, I mean) The point is, resolutions should be small, simple and positive: they are changes that you can easily integrate into your life.
Some examples of ideal resolutions could be
- Staying in touch with old friends whether through the internet, phone or in person
- Eating healthy
- Quitting a named bad habit
- Being nice to other people, regardless of who they are
- Caring about yourself and being happy!
Of course, these are just examples. But here’s another suggestion if you happen to fall into this category.
If that’s the case, here’s one really nice suggestion I found on tumblr. Take a jar and keep it aside. Every time something good happens to you, write it down on a slip and put it into the jar. Throughout the year, your jar should slowly fill up and at the end, you can sit down and realize how fulfilling your year had been. If you ask me, this really sounds like an exciting and cheerful way to end your year!
