Did you even know there was an official National Resolution Planning Day?? Well, there is and it’s today, December 30th! Time to get a head start on all of those goals you want to achieve next year! Did you know that one in three people fail their New Year’s resolutions in the first month? And only 10% of people are successful at keeping their resolutions throughout the year? The top 10 most common New Year’s resolutions are as follows (maybe you recognize a few yourself):
- Exercise more
- Lose weight
- Get organized
- Learn a new skill or hobby
- Live life to the fullest
- Save more money / spend less money
- Quit smoking
- Spend more time with family and friends
- Travel more
- Read more
If the last few years have taught us anything, it’s probably that things can change quickly and you can’t always plan for the future. So why not try and set some resolutions you can more easily follow and be happy with this year? We found a delightful article on Puffy.com that gives us a few ideas we might actually stick to and accomplish:
- Do One New Thing a Month
- Save a Small Percentage of Your Paycheck
- Do Your Bit for the Environment
- Be Kind to Yourself and Others
- Change Up Your Look
- Try a New Recipe Each Week
- Get More Sleep
So whether you’re planning on some big changes / goals this year or just want to set a few fun goals to help increase your health or happiness, Boo-Shaw Bakery wishes you the best of luck for a successful New Year!
