Is there any point to the New Year Resolution?!! Do we EVER stick to them, attempt them, or are they just something we ‘say’ and forget..

In my case, I make a few every year, rarely stick to them and to be honest, can’t even remember most of them…

So…. I have decided to put together a list of ones that I think are achievable, good resolutions that we could all perhaps do…..(and obviously I will never add in ‘give up chocolate’)

1. Start the New Year with the ‘out with the old, in with the new’ feeling

See where it could apply – perhaps your wardrobe? house? kitchen clear out? garage?! or……….friends?!!! See what needs ‘shifting’ in your life…and see if you can start how you mean to go on…

2. If you are thinking of doing a diet, kick starting a new exercise regime – don’t go ‘faddy’.

Think less is more…less carbs…more exercise…less input…more output…less snacking more walking…you know the score!! But don’t go MAD and kickstart the New Year with mad foods, exercise that leaves you weak from January 1st…everything in moderation!! How about starting with an abel and cole delivery of fresh organic fruit and veg each week

3. List making.

I always make tonnes of lists, and i think they work brilliantly! Why not do one in January that you can check at the end of 2012 and see what you have ticked off! A ‘dream and aspirations’ list is always a good place to start – Put down all the things you would LOVE to do and see if you can make it your goal to tick off….as many as possible!

4. Take your health in hand.

Without good health, nothing in life is possible – so make this the year that you get checked up and checked out and stay on top of your health. Get those vitamins, 5 a day of fruit and vegetables, and everything going – and don’t put it off.. Life is too short, and you have to grab each moment when you can!

5. Decide to have a ‘guilt-free’ year!!

In friendships, family, life and work – stick to your gut instincts, and stop feeling guilty about things and look on life as an opportunity to be yourself, be real and in the moment – a great book on the subject is ‘31 words to live a guilt-free life: finding the freedom to be your most powerful self’ by Karen Bouris £8.55
