nyxhit Yes, fin-spirational podcasts and skinimalism are on the New Year’s Resolution List – and my Resolutions for 2021 look different, too.
Hello everyone! Welcome back from the holidays. Hope you had a wonderful, safe, and relaxing time. If 2020 taught us anything, it’s how to continuously reinvent and restructure your goals. It also taught us the importance of taking care of our mental as well as physical hygiene. In 2021, that’s the lesson I am going to practice for the whole year. Do you make New Year’s Resolutions? I couldn’t strike off anything from my last year’s resolution, partly because I was diligently following COVID restrictions and protocols. And, partly because, in 2020, I mastered the Art of Procrastination.
And, as always, I found this incredible quote in my journal that’s perhaps the biggest takeaway from 2020.
“Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach.”- Tony Robbins.
Here are my New Year Resolutions for 2021:
1.Drink Enough Water
Need a friend? Water is my new best friend.
2.Take more walks – walk a mile a day
As Hippocrates said, “Walking is man’s best medicine.”
3. Read for 45 mins every day
“That’s the thing about books. They let you travel without moving y our feet.”- Jhumpa Lahiri. The perfect way to travel in the pandemic.
4. Explore new hobbies
I will try to be productive in my “Me” time by exploring a new hobby.
5. Become a plant mom
It’s time to adopt and raise a houseplant. There is a blissful feeling when you see your child growing.
6. Invest in the skincare routine
Skinimalism! I am going to invest in a healthy skincare routine and get that glow back. Be Flawsome in every possible way.
7. Explore more eco-friendly options
Switch to an eco-friendly lifestyle and save the planet.
8. Go to bed on time
Because sleep hygiene is imperative for mental and physical health.
9. Declutter mental and physical space
“Get rid of clutter and you may just find it was blocking the door you’ve been looking for.” – Katrina Mayer.
I am looking for that secret door.
10. Support small businesses
The COVID-19 pandemic hit the small businesses hard, it’s time to support and promote them. A little act of kindness goes a long way.
11. Take Safe trips
Travel is on my mind. But safety comes first.
12. Stay in touch
Stop taking friends and family for granted. One positive thing about 2020 is that it brought families together virtually. Staying in touch with loved ones and continuing virtual parties/get together.
13. Learn something new
Nothing excites me more than learning something new. Time to renew my Skillshare subscription!
14. 25 minutes on the clock with no distractions ( Pomodoro technique)
I learned this technique in December 2020, and I am going to exercise it in 2021.
15. Avoid people who complain a lot
Avoiding people is not easy, but sometimes for your mental peace, it is the best thing to do. No hard feeling!
16. Practice mindfulness daily
“The basic root of happiness lies in our minds; outer circumstances are nothing more than adverse or favorable.” – Matthieu Ricard.
This quote says it all.
17. Try new journal activities
There’s a universe of journal prompts and activities. I am planning to try some new trackers like habit tracker. Continue with a 3-minutes-a-day journal routine.
18. Try meal planning
It’s not easy to come up with meal ideas every day. This year I am going to try meal planning.
19. Listen to Fin-spiration podcasts
Moving money in the right direction is important. And financial podcasts are not only informational but also interesting. This year I am going to listen and learn from some financial experts.
20. Learn Basic French
Learning a new language is a challenge that I have subscribed for this year. French – the language of love!
21. Ditch one bad habit
Oh! I hate to procrastinate and this is one bad habit that I need to ditch this year.
Now, it’s time for you to tell me your resolutions for 2021.
Happy New Year!
Lots of Love,
xoxo
These are great goals.. I will copy some of these..thanks.
I think I want to try reading every day this year. I love to read, but I haven’t made time for it in so long.
Happy New Year to you! I am also learning French too. I really like the app Memrise and I also love to watch TedTalks translated into French. Would recommend to you in your journey of language learning.
Happy new year! I like the quote you mentioned. I think at some point, I needed to read it in 2020. We definitely going to practice some things in 2021 that will make us better because of 2020.
These are all really great resolutions! Best of luck with them 🙂
Great list of New Year’s goals! Now, I’ve got an idea of what to add on my own personal goals. Thank you very much for sharing! & Good luck to the year ahead.
For me, it’s dedicating at least 1 hour of exercise everyday. Also, drinking enough water and avoiding junk foods also. It really helps in your health!
These are all good ideas to think about for 2021. 2020 was such a tough year but it should make us all re-evaluate what we want in life and do better.
These are definitely great resolutions and goals for the new year. There are some on this list that are on mine as well. I hope you are able to achieve all of them this year!
I love your new year resolutions, they’re “Tiny” which makes them very achievable. I should do the same.
I love all of these, but the journal activities really stood out for me. I have come to love making videos on youtube about my journal layouts. It’s an hour or 2 of just me turning on the camera and forgetting it’s on. I get lost in the process and come out so relaxed and excited for what I just made.
Happy new year. I love your new year resolutions. Great list of New Year’s goals. i think this year i will explore new hobbies.
You’ve got some great tips! I can learn a lot from you. Good luck!
These are great goals, I will add some to my list!
I also have “Take more walks – walk a mile a day”, but in my resolutions it is 3 miles.
All of the suggestions are a great way to live our daily life. Healthy body, healthy mind, healthy relationships.
This is such a good list! So much things on this I need to put into my new years resolution, I started calling it ” New years practice ” Because it’s something I want to put into my daily routine. Like drinking more water .
There is one goal in common between us. Avoid people who complain a lot! I hate such people
This is an amazing list of resolutions! So many things that I will definitely be doing.
Very good goals! I will need to borrow some — like reading every day! And walking a mile a day…and the skincare…
I may borrow quite a few!
Those are some amazing suggestions for the new year’s resolutions. I definitely need to declutter my mental and physical space this year. Thanks for the share.
Almost all your resolutions are mine too! I would like to focus more on health and self-care and helping small businesses this year.
Love these, they’re great resolutions that anyone can make!
These are great goals for the new year! Wish you all the best in 2021
I truly hope forget things this New Year! Love the post and good luck to you on your New Years Resolutions and goals 🙂
Will take a bunch of resolutions for me as well. I like ditching even just one bad habit. Im also trying to lessen the pressure i put to myself and open up the door for better things to come!
We have very similar goals for 21! I wish you all the success in meeting them. I just love the quote you picked – “Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach.”- Tony Robbins.
Guess I need to copy some of what you have on your list..mine would be eating healthier to have d best immune system to fight sickness by the way and happy new year!
What you have posted here are the best resolutions I’ve ever read so far. Specifically, I should follow the Go To Bed on Time, Reading 45 mins a day, and learning something new. All in all, great new years resolution. Hoping that you’ll follow all of the listed in your list. stay safe!
I love your New Year’s Resolutions! I’m keeping it simple this year and the goal is just to be healthy in every possible way. Hope it works out for the both of us!
I like how you setting a variety of resolutions for different things. I want to start jogging and staying fit in 2021. I wish you all the best and a happy new year!
Firstly, wish you a prosperous Happy New Year. These resolutions are really good, and I will add some of these to my list too.
Ups – already your first resolution is for me since I’m drinking faaaar too little – and it’s so important doing so. Anyway, I loved reading your list since this year, I haven’t put one together so that I love getting inspiration from others 😉
No matter what – I wish you a wonderful, successful year!
Hey, Mayuri! Thanks for this! Quite similar to my own personal resolutions. Loved the idea of doing 21 instead of 12, since it´s for 2021. Also loved the quote on no. three, so true! Books have been my scape during this non-traveling times!
These are all great resolutions! I need to work on a few of these myself.
Starting a new hobby is something that certainly appeals to me. I’m starting my piano lessons next week. Thanks for sharing.
I absolutely love the pomodoro technique! I just have a hard time being consistent doing it! I think I need to add being consistent in my new year resolutions and this list is definitely on point!
Adding all these up to my 2021 resolutions. This is for my own good and for a better rest of the year. Hahaha thanks!
