New Year’s resolutions have gotten somewhat of a bad rap. They’re responsible for crowding gyms in January and emptying them out by February. We blame ’em for\u00a0failed diets and\u00a0half-completed passion projects.<\/p>\n
The reason most of us\u00a0(no matter how willing or determined we\u00a0are) struggle to keep our\u00a0resolutions is because\u00a0they tend to require\u00a0extreme lifestyle changes. And you can’t expect some\u00a0miraculous overnight transformation to take place\u00a0<\/em>just because it’s the start of a new year.<\/p>\n However, what Jan. 1\u00a0does<\/i> hold\u00a0is a sense of renewal…and a fresh start! If you, too, are indifferent about making any New Year’s resolutions this year, here’s a list that you will\u00a0actually\u00a0follow through with. The best thing about this list? It\u00a0consists of only one resolution:<\/p>\n Make your bed every morning. Making your bed every morning forms the habit of making habits. As you get used to this morning routine, you will notice that it also becomes easier to make other constructive\u00a0choices throughout\u00a0the day. It’s the catalyst for small, easy, practical \u2013 yet collectively powerful\u00a0habits that will ultimately shape your character and your life.<\/p>\n Forget the crash diet and make conscious choices during each meal. Don’t schedule a month of dinner dates you won’t follow through with, but do remind yourself\u00a0to be present with those around you. Ditch the idea of making\/saving whatever amount of money quickly. Instead,\u00a0toss your change into a jar every night.<\/p>\n No, making your bed every morning in 2017 won’t change your life. But it will start to change\u00a0you \u2013 and\u00a0you can change your life.<\/p>\n xx, The FabFitFun Team<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":"New Year's resolutions have gotten somewhat of a bad rap.
