7 resolutions to make your 2018 Pure Delight

New Year 2018 is here and we have already started planning to make the best of it. Right from scheduling our fitness regime to planning the finances, we are almost set to welcome a brand new year. As we get frenzied in the ‘New Year, New Me’ trend once again, we’d like to share some simple and more importantly attainable resolutions that will make your 2018 a year that counts.

Stay focused towards your health

Health is usually the most ignored aspect of our lives. Most of us wait on Mondays that never come. Start with short walks every day; take the stairs instead of the lift, stretch while working on a computer or while watching television. This year, take that leap to a fitter you. Whether it’s taking up a gym membership or buying a yoga mat, just go for it.

Connect with nature

Nature has its special way of giving happiness. In today’s day and age, we are so occupied with our work that we forget to connect to our roots.  While your work is equally important, make sure you take some time off to engage in activities that provide tranquility to your soul. Once in a while, plant trees, go out for walks into the woods, and stop to admire the invigorating sunrises and peaceful sunsets.

Meditate

With increasing amount of work comes increased stress. While stress is inevitable, managing it is tremendously important. Detox yourself mentally and emotionally. Stay offline once a while and reconnect with your friends, family and yourself without your smart phone. Dedicating certain amount of time everyday towards healthy breathing practices and meditation surely helps in combating stress and makes you feel rejuvenated.

Plan a holiday

In order to live a healthier life, taking a break from your regular routine is extremely important. Taking up new adventures and experiencing new places play a vital role in the growth and betterment of our physical and mental health. Plan holidays, fun activities, and vacations that give your mind and body the relaxation they deserve.

Save Money

Saving money is one of the most crucial resolutions that need to be followed sternly. Set a savings goal for the year and keep saving a fixed amount every month to reach the goal. Make sure you stick to your rules by budgeting your months and watch your savings and investments grow. 

Take up a hobby

Hobbies can lower your stress levels, boost your brain power, improve your ability to focus. Therefore, in 2018, start a new hobby. Whether you’ve always wanted to learn to play the guitar or learn your favourite dance-form, take time off from your routine and work towards pursuing it.

Be eco-friendly

The earth is our only home and it is upon us to take the efforts to keep it clean, green and sustainable. Take small but impactful steps to save the planet.  When YOU start working towards your goal it will help in imbibing a sense of responsibility within the people around you and also the generations to come.

Come, together let’s make 2018 Pure Delight! Happy New Year!
