It’s that time of the year, where everyone is thinking about their new year resolutions. Whether you want to try to quit smoking, or exercise more, or learn to save money you’re gonna start now. ‘’New year, new me” is a phrase you often hear everywhere especially on social media. It is very common to start a new year’s resolution on the first day of January. This can be to give something up, like sweets or chocolate, so you can be healthier. People also like to start doing something new, like taking up a new hobby or going to the gym, so you can get fitter. There are so many things you can do! Most of the people I know decide to join a gym and eat healthier food as their new year’s resolution. Many gain weight after the holidays as they often eat a lot of fattening food!
I think new year’s resolutions are a great idea to give people the motivation to do something good for themselves. When a lot of other people also have a resolution it helps you to stick to your own. A resolution to get fit could be done between a group of friends. They could arrange to go jogging a couple of times a week. Group resolutions can be so much more fun! In the past I have given up chocolate, stopped eating meat, recycled more, joined a gym and started karate! Some of these things I soon gave up on, not eating chocolate for example, and some I persevered with and still do now. I think it is important to choose something that is realistic for you.
This year my resolution is to stop stressing about life and hopefully travel more, love myself more and be grateful for everything that’s happening in my life cause life’s a gift and we should cherish it as much as we can.
