On NYE, you get to read each one and reflect on an amazing year.

3.Respond to emails when you read them.

And then you never do?

This is next level #adulting.

Telling the truth in small situations instead of turning to white lies actually builds your confidence!

5.Be a good friend.

Face it you arent too busy, you just dont make it a priority.

Tell them how important they are, and set up regular plans with them.

6.Find exercise you love.

Find a way to move your body that you love doing.

7.Try something that scares you.

Do this once in a year, or every month.

It doesnt matter if its skydiving, traveling alone, or making a cheesecake for the first time.

8.Adopt a skincare regimen.

Put down the baby wipes and upgrade your routine.

You set the number here based on what is realistic for you.

If you havent cracked a book since high school, maybe 1 book is reasonable.

If you are a bookworm up for a challenge, maybe you should try for 50 or 100.

Alternate between the genres and authors you love and new ones that you wouldnt normally pick up.

Volunteer for a cause you believe in.

If that sentence made you feel weird, this might be the resolution for you.

12.Enlist help to make yourself better.

If you really want to uplevel in life, bring in professional help.

Want to conquer self doubt and build confidence?

Get a life coach.

Want to take your writing hobby to new heights?

Get a writing coach.

Want to transform your body?

Get a personal trainer.

You get the idea.

The DIY method works, but if you want faster results, you gotta bring in a pro.

13.Launch your side gig.

You know that thing youve been talking about doing for awhile now to make some extra cash?

14.Seek out professional development opportunities.

One of the best ways to improve your career is to become more valuable to your employer.

Obviously, this is the sexiest resolution of all.

Ok.. so maybe not, and maybe there is also nothing cool about flossing.

And imagine how good it would feel to honestly say yes when the dentist asks if youve been flossing.

16.The master resolution this one is the secret to making all others work: Do it anyway.

You cant let your feelings drive the bus.

Motivation fades away its how human brains work!
