Struggling to pick a New Year’s resolution? Here’s what to do

Sometimes making a New Year’s resolution can be just as hard as sticking to it.

Nailing down exactly what you want to change about your life over the next 12 months is tough. And that doesn’t mean you should make multiple resolutions to try and cover all bases (let’s faces it, keeping one is hard enough). It just means you need to spend a little more time picking out and planning the right New Year’s goal for you.

When trying to decide on a resolution, it can help to ask yourself the following 3 questions:

1. Is there anything making me unhappy?

Perhaps your unhealthy eating habits are getting you down, or maybe you think you’re working yourself too hard. Figure out the source of your unhappiness and pick a resolution which could work towards discovering a happier you this year.

2. Is there something I want?

Do you long for a holiday, or dream of buying a new car? Resolutions like quitting smoking, giving up alcohol or walking instead of taking the bus to work can help you save money that you can then spend on the things you really want.

3. Can I do more to help others?

New Year’s resolutions don’t just have to benefit you. Whether you commit to some charity work, or try to reduce your carbon footprint, you’ll find selfless resolutions can prove the most rewarding.
