Making New Year’s resolutions can often seem tedious or pointless. This is mostly because of the fear or disappointment that stems from broken resolutions in the past. The sense of satisfaction of sticking to a resolution can be extremely rewarding and beneficial for your health. So here are five resolutions that can help you make 2015 count!
Save Money
Maybe money doesn’t buy you happiness, but debt and financial difficulties can sure lead to unhappiness. Creating a New Year’s resolution to overcome debt or financial stress is one of the most positive resolutions you can make. By making a promise to yourself to stop stressing about money, you will have a much happier and prosperous New Year.

Get Fit
Yes, it may seem like the oldest resolution in the book, but it’s important. Avoid making a resolution that specifies a certain weight or ability, as these can be too much of a burden. Instead focus on improving you current fitness level. Any improvement is better than no improvement at all, and at the end of the year you will feel better about yourself, both outside and inside.
Reconnect With Others
There’s no denying it, life is busy and often we lose touch with people. Often we are so busy that we don’t realise we have lost touch with someone for weeks, months or even years. Having healthy and positive relationships are essential to your mental wellbeing, as they offer you social outlets and connections. So why not make your New Year’s resolution to reconnect with some old friends, make new friends, or to spend more with your loved ones.
Do Something New
It’s easy to slip into a dull and boring routine throughout the year. Being an adult is riddled with responsibilities and routines, which is why it’s crucial to spice up things every once and a while. Make a promise to yourself that you will try something that you have never tried before. It can be enrolling in a new educational course, doing something adventurous like sky diving, adopting a new hobby or travelling to a place you’ve never visited before.
Positive Reflection
Being negative is what most of us do best. It’s much easier to see the negatives in life than the positives. That’s why making a commitment to being positive in the New Year can be a great resolution. Promise yourself that you will take time each day to think of at least two things that were positive about your day. If you do this every day, you will find yourself much more optimistic about life
So why not take some time to reflect on what you want in 2015. Whatever it is, make sure you commit to it and vow to make your New Year’s resolution a positive one!
