The
New Year is a great time for a spot of reinvention, and the perfect opportunity
for fresh starts and a new outlook. Along with making some resolutions about
the coming year, you might also like to have a bit of a physical transformation
to go along with your new mind-set. By combining both lifestyle changes and
changes to aspects of your look, you can have a whole new you for the coming
year, so start planning the 2014 version of yourself now!
Quit something
Let’s
face it, everyone has a bad habit or seven, and most people can think of
something they might be able to give up that would improve their lives. Whether
it’s something big like smoking, or something a little less extreme like hoarding
or impulse buying, the New Year is a great excuse to give it up and stick to
it. Before the clock strikes midnight put measures in place to dissuade you
from your bad habit, such as a penny pot for money you are saving, or an
incentive like a chart with a monthly reward. If you manage to ditch something
you’d rather not be doing you are on your way to a happier version of yourself.
Take up something
Do
you find your spare time is often frittered away on watching TV or hanging out
in your PJs? Taking up a new hobby or a part time job could be a really
constructive way of using this time and will help you be a happier more rounded
individual. Often people take up exercise in January with the hope of becoming
healthier and maybe meeting a few different types of people. You could also use
the turn of the year as the point at which you learn a new skill or pick up
some extra cash with a second job.
Revamp your wardrobe
A
big part of how you feel is how you present yourself and whether you feel
confident in what you are wearing. Use the January sales as a reason to get a
whole new look and treat yourself to some new clothes. This doesn’t need to be
super expensive, and you could get a whole new wardrobe for less than you’d
expect with ranges like George's
women’s clothes making your new look affordable and stylish.
Pamper yourself
Looking
and feeling great is not all about what you wear, it’s about feeling fab inside
and out. Eating well and taking time out for a little TLC and pampering can
help you to get the New Year off to a good start, feeling a million dollars. If
you can’t afford a trip to a hairdresser or beautician, then invest in a few
home kits and set aside some time to indulge in some “me time”. Promise yourself
to have a little session like this once a month to make sure you feel just as
fab this time next year.
Whatever
you have decided to change in the coming year, make sure it’s a positive move
and will make your life better in some way. This might be by an increase in
confidence, or a better financial or health situation. Stick to the promises
you make on the 1st of January and have a great 2014.
