New Year's Resolutions That Aren't Really Resolutions!

Clean your kitchen sink every day

Do you know what will really make your kitchen look clean? Challenge yourself to clean your kitchen sink every single day. You may find that you can keep up with the dishes easier, but also that you won’t have to deal with sticky and caked-on food every day either!

Make your bed every day

This is another easy daily task that doesn't take a lot of time but one that makes a world of difference. I promise you when your bed is made it will feel like your whole room is cleaner than it probably actually is!

Write notes of gratitude

Notes of gratitude could be for yourself or for others. This small task will help you keep track of the things you have to be grateful for and help you be more mindful of the life in front of you. You could also use this goal to write notes to others expressing how much they mean to you each day of the year.

Check out this gratitude challenge. It doesn't have to be around Thanksgiving to write notes of gratitude.

Set a book reading goal

Do you want to read more in the new year? Set yourself a goal for how many books you want to finish. This could be for the entire year, month, or even each week. Setting a goal will help you stay on track with your reading goal throughout the year because you’ll have a goal to work toward.

Take breaks from social media

At least once a week, challenge yourself to take a little break from social media. Spend the day away from your timeline and away from the constant updates. This will help ensure that you can step away from the chaos and the stress that can come from being plugged in all the time.

Clear surfaces

If you want to keep your home clutter-free in the new year, try making a clear counter on your list of must-haves for the new year. Making sure you end each day with a clear surface will help you keep your surfaces clean and clear and help you keep things from piling up all over your home too.

Connect with others

Make a new year's resolution to connect with others deeper. This could be making more time for friends or family in your life or helping you connect with others through experiences and making memories together. The beauty of this resolution is how open-ended it can be. This resolution will help deepen your relationships with others and help you be more social in the new year.

 Move More

It doesn't have to be complicated. There doesn't have to be a new gym membership or workout routine. Just making the time to move more every day. Honestly, my Apple watch does a very good job of reminding me to stand every hour and challenges me to close my move ring. And my dogs definitely help me move more because they are happier when they have had some time to sniff around outside!
