But to do things the right way, you should use the cash you save from not smoking to get yourself something you really want. You can choose to make a splurge every month or keep saving for a more expensive item.
#5 – Define all the 365 days, one at a time
Choose a positive word to live by every month, for example, mindfulness, kindness, integrity, self-love, forgiveness, serenity, joy, health, and the list goes on. The rule is that you should apply the word you picked to your daily actions for one month.
Actions may be something like eating more vegetables, spending more time with your family, adopting a pet, helping someone in need, introducing yourself to that new coworker or neighbor… There are just too many amazing things to do and learn, yet many people walk through a whole year without having a meaningful purpose.
You may want to use stick notes to post your words somewhere you can see them every day.
#4 – Walk more towards weight loss
You should literally walk more if you want to lose those extra pounds because worrying about the stress of exercising during the week is not helping.
Fitness experts suggest including more walks in your daily activities, even 500 additional steps of strolling around the block for just five days will bring about interesting changes.
This will help you improve your overall wellness instead of just focusing on losing weight. Your ultimate goal should actually be creating and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Remember, with wellness comes natural weight shedding. (Happy ending.)
#3 – Clear your mind on a daily basis
If one of your biggest resolutions for 2020 is to be more organized, start meditating once a day. According to the positive psychology expert, Sherry Blair, Ph.D., people who are depressed, anxious, stressed, or always in a hurry have very little desire to keep a tidy place.
There’s no better way to feel centered than mindfulness. In fact, scientific studies found that half an hour of meditation per day decreased symptoms of anxiety and depression in people after 2 months.
