Top 10 Most Popular New Year’s Goals
The new year offers a fresh start and an opportunity to set ambitious goals. Sticking to New Year’s resolutions can be challenging, so it helps to focus on commonly set goals that resonate with most people. Here are the top 10 most popular resolutions and tips to actually achieve them in the year ahead.
1. Lose Weight and Get Healthy
Slimming down and improving fitness levels is one of the most commonly set New Year’s resolutions. Make specific diet changes gradual and set exercise goals that align with your schedule. Consider joining a gym, fitness classes or community sports league to stay accountable.
2. Quit Smoking
Kicking a smoking habit can be extremely difficult due to the addictive qualities of nicotine. Seek support through quit-smoking apps, nicotine patches/gums or even hypnotherapy. Say no to triggers and replace cigarette breaks with healthier rituals.
3. Learn a New Skill
Commit to picking up a new hobby, skill or area of expertise this year through classes, mentorship or online tutorials. Lifelong learning keeps your mind sharp while adding value to your professional and personal life.
4. Read More
Reading boosts vocabulary, focus and empathy. Commit to a reading goal based on number of books or minutes per day. Create a reading wish list and join a book club to discuss compelling reads with others.
5. Find a Better Job
Advancing your career can involve networking, picking up new skills, revamping your resume or hiring mentors to coach you. Set clear targets and application timelines to achieve your dream job this year.
6. Save More Money
Building healthier financial habits starts with pinpointing areas of overspending through a budget analysis. Set up automatic transfers to high-yield savings accounts and investigate retirement account or investment options.
7. Drink Less Alcohol
Cutting back alcohol comes with mental, physical and emotional perks. Analyze current drinking habits and consciously limit intake every week. Replace bar nights with activities that don’t revolve around alcohol consumption.
8. Stress Less / Self Care
Carving out me-time helps manage anxiety and prevents burnout. Build a weekly self-care routine involving yoga, meditations baths, massages or scenic hikes through nature. Protect your mental health by setting stronger boundaries.
9. Organize Home and Life
Clutter bugs? Reclaim order through regular decluttering sessions, storage solutions and simplified organization systems. Gradually tackle one area at a time, room by room. It’s amazing how outer order contributes to inner calm.
10. Travel More
Satisfy your inner wanderlust this year by planning a major trip or sprinkling in mini weekend getaways.
Create a travel bucket list and start saving towards an epic adventure abroad.
The memories would be worth it.
