Christmas arrives with all its collateral dates indicated and it is time to rethink what we have achieved and what we want to achieve from now on. That list of New Year’s resolutions that we already threw away in March due to the impossibility of fulfilling them does us no good. So let’s make a list of resolutions for 2018 that is different, realistic and that makes us feel better. How about?
The list of resolutions of 2018 that you are going to fulfill
In our list of resolutions, you will not find learning English, joining the gym, quitting smoking or losing 5 kilos. Another thing is that you want to do it and do it, but it will not be on the list. Our list is a list to be happy where our needs, and not those imposed by society, are the true protagonists.
- How to organize yourself in 2018
Do you buy an agenda every year and it ends up forgotten in the drawer? This year you are going to have to make an effort and use it. Follow your schedule because that way you will be more productive at work and you will have more time to dedicate yourself to what you like. This year, remember, your agenda will become your best friend.
- Your whims for the new year
All the self-help manuals say that to be happy (which is the goal for 2018) you have to treat yourself to some whim or other. And we believe it. They don’t have to be expensive whims like Louboutin shoes, they don’t even have to be material whims. Isn’t it a whim to spend an afternoon on the terrace reading a book with the mobile off and a cup of tea?
- Do you see that dream? follow him!
Don’t lose sight of your dreams no matter how tired you are. Everyday reality can make you skeptical of happiness and this year you are not going to allow it. Happiness is made of dreams, so do you see that dream?… well go for it.
- Accept criticism to improve
We do not always accept criticism well and we take it as an attack. It also depends on criticism, of course, but think of criticism as that objective view of yourself that you can’t get and make the most of it.
- How is your self-esteem?
If there is a basic element that we need to be happy, it is self-esteem. Few people enjoy stable and high self-esteem, so the purpose will always be to improve it, gain self-confidence, gain confidence and believe in yourself.
- Forgiveness User Manual
You have to learn to forgive to find inner calm, but you also have to know how to ask for forgiveness. Ask for forgiveness, forgive others and, above all and most difficult, forgive yourself.
- take a breather
Well, if you can afford a vacation in the Caribbean completely disconnecting from reality, we are not going to be the ones to say no. But we are not referring to a vacation, take a breather every day, disconnect at least 5 minutes from your problems, practice conscious breathing and relaxation exercises. It won’t take long and you will be able to keep anxiety under control.
- Health, money and love
Given that in matters of money and love you cannot do more than you do, this year you can dedicate yourself to taking care of your health. This implies eating better and exercising but, no, you don’t have to sign up for that gym again. You can go for a walk and if you feel like it, you can even run.
- Goodbye Toxic People
Do you know that you are not going to be happy this year or the next if you are still around toxic people? Identify all those people who don’t like you well, who steal your energy and who envy you and say goodbye to toxic people.
- dare
From time to time you have to get out of your comfort zone so as not to get stuck in a comfortable but not necessarily happy life. Dare to do what is going through your head, dare to move to another apartment, to break up with your partner who doesn’t make you happy, to change jobs.
- Value what you have
Did you know that happiness is in the little things? Yes, you also find it in the big ones, on a big yacht, for example. But while waiting for the yacht you can be happy at this precise moment with the people who love you, with a shared laugh, with a good wine or with the satisfaction that every day you give your best.
- Define your own happiness
This purpose is the most difficult of all, but the time has come to define your own happiness. Do not get carried away by the current, you do not have to follow the norm and conventions. If you define your own concept of happiness, it will be easier for you to ignore the expectations of others and focus only on your own.
And you, what resolutions do you have for this new year?
