New Year's resolution ideas

This New Year’s Eve, let's consider some achievable goals that you can truly and easily achieve.

  • Get active

You can keep your heart healthy by engaging in physical activities. You can join a gym, go for a run, do yoga, take a walk, etc. The goal should be to get fitter, not thinner.

  • Start a journal

Recording your private thoughts and insights can help regulate your emotions. Journaling also reduces stress and anxiety, helps develop self-confidence and strengthens memory.

  • Travel more

You don't necessarily need to travel overseas. You can travel to nearby cities and towns, go on hikes, embrace new adventures, etc. Travelling activates your happy hormones and relieves stress and anxiety.

  • Eat breakfast every day

Your blood sugar levels are typically low after you wake up in the morning. Having a healthy breakfast restores the body's glucose levels and provides energy throughout the day.

  • Be kind to others

Being kind costs you nothing. You can bring joy to others with a simple smile. Random acts of kindness can improve your emotional well-being.

  • Scroll less

With easy access to the internet, you can lose track of time scrolling through social media. The blue light from electronic devices causes sleep issues. Thus, limit the time you spend on your devices.

  • Donate your time

Volunteer your time to a beach clean-up, animal rescue shelter or other programmes. This way, you can make new friends, learn new skills, gain experience, and expand your social circle.

  • Curb your vices

Reduce your alcohol and nicotine intake. Excessive consumption of such substances can cause chronic diseases.

  • Make prudent investments

Explore investment avenues to grow your savings and build a corpus. You can invest in mutual funds, stocks, provident funds, etc. You don't need to invest high amounts; start small and invest religiously.

Invest in insurance

While planning your investments, remember to invest in insurance. Insuring your assets, like your home , cars, and bikes, is critical. Additionally, you can cover medical expenses with health insurance plans. It also helps to insure your devices like laptops and computers with cyber insurance plans.

This New Year's Eve, be sure to set attainable goals. Invest or revisit your general insurance policies. Reach out to your insurance provider to know more.
