Creative and the only New Year's Resolutions That Will Make You So Happy in 2021
New year's resolutions history is around 4000 years old where people promise God to do something for them.
But time changed and its culture too. Today people make promises to themselves, which means they start doing something good and stop doing something bad on the first day of the year for their better wellbeing.
New year resolutions ideas never get boring, but hey they become old.
Right?
No.
Let me explain, "New Year Resolutions Never Get Old". They change according to the priorities we have.
And our priorities pivot on trends that give us happiness.
Seriously, "A Trend doesn't last for a long time!"
Although it might give you satisfaction at the moment but it won't work. Again you have to find another trend to get that moment back and the cycle goes on until you realize what truly matters to your life.
Maybe you're like me. And I know, you too hate to be an idiot and exhaust another year doing nothing. After all, you can fulfill your goals to enhance living in an opportunistic style.
Instead of failing and suffering, we make resolutions and achieve what matters most.
So here's a bunch of new year's resolutions to get going in 2021.
And to make it clean, I have divided resolutions into different sections which will assist you to get at least one from each slot.

IMPORTANT ONES

- Pick a time of late night sleep and never exceed it. Sleeping 6-8 hours of sleep is beneficial, I go for 7-8 which suits every age group.
- Decide to make Interventions with your group, when something's critical only.
- Develop a skincare TT.
- Set a monthly budget and savings.
- Become worthy and get a pet
- Remember Important dates
- Limit resolutions to a manageable amount
- Commit to standing up every time you get the urge to put yourself down
- Listen to your productive mind and frustrated heart - both will give you points that will help you to take favourable decisions
- Adopt an attitude of gratitude
- Make a new friend: I mean a friend who will support your resolution ideas and favours you to stick with it.
- A huge COVID-19 update for this year's resolution: Wear a mask and Sanitize before visiting or leaving your home or crowded place. Because there are no resolutions without a life.
See the most important thing is to believe in yourself while making such commitments. If you don't you will end up repeating your last year's activities(which I did last year but managed to change it and here I am running a beautiful blog).
And I believe that some years teach us how it matters to be mentally, physically, productively and most important financially healthy.
If you fulfill them all, I am sure you will find some great people around you who correspond to your life.
Though it's never easy to pick something and add to your busy schedule. But you can remove the unproductive ones!
Hence New Year Resolutions are for the new years only, but now you can make them on any day(like your birthday when YOU WERE BORN) and name them "New Life Resolutions", promising and sculpting yourself through your path of living.
