New Year's resolutions

With the arrival of each new year come the resolutions and desires for change that we all make. From leading a healthier life to improving our work habits, we are always looking to improve our quality of life. This year, more than any other, we must be aware of our health and well-being and take a proactive attitude to improve our daily routines.

New Year's resolutions are a great way to start doing this. But how? The first thing is to review the habits we want to change. This will help us set our priorities. Once we have decided what we want to change, we can start working towards it.

One way to start is to set realistic goals. This will help us stay motivated and help us achieve our goals. We must also make sure that our goals are specific and achievable. In addition, we must be aware that change is not easy. To help us stay focused and achieve our goals, it's important to find creative ways to motivate ourselves. For example, we can write our resolutions in a journal and review them regularly to see how we are progressing.

Now that we've got the big picture, here are 12 healthy New Year's resolutions to consider:

1. Take better care of our diet. The first thing to do to take better care of our diet is to make sure that we are eating healthy foods. This means cutting back on processed foods and eating more fresh fruits and vegetables. It also means limiting the amount of sugar and salt added to foods and drinks. We can do this by cooking at home and eating out only occasionally. In addition, we can schedule our meals and snacks so that they are well balanced.
2. Learn to control our emotions. To learn to control our emotions, it is important to first recognize them. Practicing emotional awareness will help us identify our emotions more quickly. We can also work on our coping skills to learn how to better manage our emotions. This means developing strategies to deal with our emotions, such as practicing deep breathing, exercising, or identifying our negative thoughts and changing them to more positive ones.
3. Exercising regularly The first thing to do is find an activity you like. This can be walking, running, biking, swimming, or yoga. Once we've found an activity, we can set a schedule to exercise and make sure we stick to it. Also, we can motivate ourselves by setting short-term and long-term goals.
4. Establish an adequate rest schedule. We must identify how many hours of sleep we need. This can vary depending on age and lifestyle, but most people need between 7 and 9 hours of sleep a night. Once we've identified our sleep needs, we need to make sure we're sticking to our schedule and not interrupting our sleep with activities like watching TV or surfing the internet.
5. Take time to relax. We can try activities like meditating, doing yoga, or just sitting quietly. These activities will help us reduce stress and it is important that we do them regularly. We can also take a relaxing bath or read a good book. Also, we can spend time with our loved ones or go for a walk with a friend to disconnect from our worries.
6. Prioritize daily activities to save time. We must identify which tasks are really important. This means evaluating our goals and prioritizing the activities that will help us achieve them. Once we have identified which tasks are really important, we must allocate the appropriate time to them. We must also learn to say no to tasks that are not essential to our goals.
7. Practice gratitude. We can simply become aware of the things for which we are grateful. This can be from simple things like the comfort of our home or the nature that surrounds us, to bigger things like our health or our loved ones. By doing this, we can change our perspective on life to see the positive instead of the negative.
8. Work on our long-term goals. First we must define what we want to achieve in life. This means identifying our dreams and long-term goals. Once we have identified our goals, we need to set short-term goals that help us achieve our long-term goals. These goals must be realistic and measurable so that we can track our progress. For example, if one of our purposes is to learn English but we see it as too far away to make the desired trip, we can start the colony experience in English. If you live in Girona, where you can find these colonies, you can plan an English course to enjoy a British summer Girona and thus achieve your goal in an achievable way.
9. Develop new skills. It is important to identify what skills we want to learn. This can range from skills related to our work or studies, to skills related to our personal life. Once we have identified what skills we want to learn, we must find the best way to learn them. This can be through online courses, books, or video tutorials. For example, an ideal way to learn English would be to sign up for English summer courses abroad.
10. Do activities that we like. The first thing to do is identify what activities we like. This can be from simple things like reading a good book or watching a movie, to more complex things like painting or playing an instrument. Once we have identified what activities we like, we must make sure that we are doing some of these things regularly. This will help us stay motivated and will also help us find happiness.
11. Set realistic goals. This means that we need to think about our long-term and short-term goals and set specific, realistic goals for them. These goals must be measurable so that we can track our progress. Also, we need to make sure that we are setting realistic goals that are achievable.
12. Share more with our loved ones. It is important to make sure that we are spending time with them. This can be anything from spending time together at home, to going on excursions from time to time. Sharing our time with our loved ones also helps us strengthen our connection with them and makes us feel loved and supported. A good way is to learn to speak English as a family, as we would say in French “apprendre l'anglais en famille”, since it brings us togetherness and learning in an affective bond strengthens our retention capacity.

These are just a few of the many healthy resolutions we can set for the new year. When establishing new healthy habits, it's important to remember that change doesn't happen overnight. It is important to be patient as we get used to our new routines.

In order for our New Year's resolutions to become part of our daily lives, it is important that we commit to following them. This means that we need to be persistent and committed to our goals. We must remember that any change we make will be a step forward, even if it is not as big as we hoped.

Also, it is important to have a positive mindset and learn to reward ourselves for our achievements. This will help us stay motivated and help us keep going. So this year, let 's make a commitment to ourselves to work hard to achieve our goals and improve our lives! Happy holidays and may your New Year's resolutions become your new reality!
