How To Prepare For A Successful New Year

December 31, 2015

I love this time of year. The holidays are so much fun! Normally, my husband takes time off of work (which never happens) and we are able to enjoy lots family time. After the holidays, I love that we celebrate a new year and make resolutions to better ourselves and achieve new goals. A fresh start in a new year sounds pretty good to me! Here are a few ways to prepare for a successful new year:

successful-new-year

Make a list of all your goals. You had to know that making a list would be on my list, right?  I love my lists. I seriously make them for everything! They are very helpful in making you prioritize what’s important and stay focused on what needs to get done. I am always so much more productive when I have made a list of what needs to be done versus when I don’t.

Make your health a priority. Your health is everything. Whether you are a new mom running on little sleep or a 20 year old college student, your health is vital to your success. Who can be successful if they are in poor shape and feel bad all the time? This is a mental and physical issue. I have found that when you are exercising regularly and eating right, you actually feel better which improves your mood! It’s a win/win!
Clear your mind of negativity and your life of negative things. If a hobby makes you more stressed than happy, send it on it’s way. Life is short, so who has time for things and thoughts that are negative? So you’re not a great cook? (oh, hey, that’s me!) Who cares? You might be a great encourager and friend or a wonderful painter or decorator! Go do what makes you happy.
Clean out your space. It is so freeing when you clean out and clean up a space, is it not? It’s time to de-clutter and de-junk. We have way too much “stuff” anyway. Do we really need 20 purses? Five of which are black? No.
Create a plan to help you achieve your goals. Remember that list you made? Create and organize a plan to help you achieve your goals this year!
Set a budget that will allow you to save more money each month. I’m sure that “saving money” is on everyone’s list of resolutions. But it might as well be on your’s, too. Set your budget a little tighter so that you can save more money this year. Even if it is only $10 a month, it will add up to $120 by the end of the year.I hope you all have a safe and fun New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day! We will probably just be resting at home with the kiddos this year.

If you would not mind taking just 1 to 2 minutes to fill out this short reader’s survey, I would be really appreciative. I would love to hear what you would like to see more of on Logan Can in 2016!

What are your plans? Are you going out on the town, on a hot date or staying home with your kids?
