New Year Resolutions for Women Who Want to Be Happy

Resolutions tend to fade away by the end of January and you get thrown back to your old self just as the second month approaches. This happens because resolutions majorly come from a place of self-criticism and not from a point of becoming a better version of oneself. Resolutions should be a product of desire, thrill and enthusiasm and then only you will be able to be a happier person. Here are 22 New Year resolutions which will definitely lead you to find your true happiness:

1. Embrace your imperfections: There is nothing known as perfect and trying to achieve the same is nothing less than falling into a trap. Let yourself be the unique creation you are with scope for upswings.

   

2. Plan out a date with a friend/family every week: Busy schedules hamper the bonds we share with some of our fond ones. Meeting them at a regular interval will keep you warm and joyful.
3. Learn to cook a new dish every month: Cooking is therapeutic and while trying new dishes you might end up with something delicious for your loved ones.

   

4. Write down your achievements every night: You are an achiever and you are way more than you know. Jotting things down will let you know your worth and give you motivation for the next awaiting day.
5. Plan a 30 minute ?me time? every day: Relax and pamper yourself in your me-time. May be, catch up with yourself over a cup of coffee or apply a face pack . Or, listen to your favourite music. By the way, me-times are the best for introspection when only you and nature talks to you.

   

6. Go on a solo date every month: Nothing can be better than discovering exciting aspects about your own self and this can be done when you are all by yourself. Solo trip to a nearby destination for a day or two, is all you require every month to be you.
7. Style yourself well: Be active and put effort in how you present yourself, as it is much easier for people who are presentable to get heard and approach people.

   

8. Dress as you want every day: To dress is to empower yourself. It is the first impression that you leave on others, so invest time in deciding your  and be comfortable and trendy or just the way you want.
9. Value your own satisfaction: Women many a time consider their partner?s or children?s happiness prior to that of theirs. Try keeping a balance of both and you will be happier than before.

   

10. Get quality sleep: A sound sleep is certainly on everyone's mind. It is researched that apart from physical health consequences, sleep deprivation is one of the major causes to fuel depression. Get your sleep well to avoid slipping from opportunities.
11. Stop gossiping about others and focus on yourself: Whenever in a gathering it is quite obvious to talk about people but better seclude yourself from such conversations and enjoy other things happening around.

    

12. Save money and use it wisely : Money is the driving force and an important factor for the time and energy we give to any firm or organization, so it is important to know the whereabouts of your hard earned money being spent.

13. Regular exercise : Exercising has been and will continue to be a forever trend for a healthy and happy lifestyle. You need to look at it as a way to feel good, be fit and blooming and not just vigorous moves to be thinner and in a defined shape.

    

14. Work on your passion project: Do not procrastinate. Once you get in the habit of delaying your work, it is back-breaking to snap yourself out. Start working on what you have been dreaming to achieve.
15. Demand your right: Don't be apologetic unnecessarily; you are equivalent to any other individual of similar capabilities in your workplace or at home. Right treatment and fair pay are your basic rights and not somebody's mercy upon you.

    

16. Be in moderation and avoid extremes: This means that being rigorous with a habit for a week and then completely abandoning it for two is not good, rather adopt slowly and gradually but constantly.
17. Learn to say "No" without any guilt: It is often seen that women are expected to sacrifice and consider that to be as normal as the sun rising in the east. Be clear with your choices and do not hesitate putting forth a big no politely but effectively to something you don't want, support or appreciate.

    

18. Declutter your cupboard every month: Organization and cleanliness release stress. Doing this will keep you serene when you come back to your place after a tiring day.
19. Buy things wisely: Keep a check on impulse buying, as women especially are frequent impulse buyers. Often we purchase things we do not at all require and regret wasting money later.
20. Join a club or a group: Meet new people, do new stuff, and let yourself blossom. Explore the world and you will know it has a lot to offer. This will let you be more expressive and involved.
21. Let in minimal plastic into your household: You are the controller of your house, and it is you who needs to be responsible to make the world a better place to live in by not allowing plastic products inside your house.

    

22. Plan a wellness vacation twice a year to get a detox from all the pressures piling up to start fresh. An escape from the daily routine lets your mind, body, and soul rejuvenate and prepares you for the upcoming life adventures.
