A new year often brings hope for a fresh start, filled with resolutions for the year ahead—I know I am ready for that!
Have you ever found yourself happy to be closing the door on what has been in the previous year with an anticipation for the new? It’s like hitting a reset button on your computer—it’s that time to start again!
According to statistics, only a small percentage of New Year’s resolutions are ever fulfilled, with the top resolutions generally focused on health and fitness and changing habits and addictions ranking low on the priority list.
What makes the difference in seeing our New Year’s resolutions and hopes achieved?
Making a plan!
Take one or two things you want to see changed this year, write your goals and make a plan for how to get there by breaking it down into small and achievable goals.
Review your progress monthly and make the adjustments. If you drop the ball, that’s okay; it doesn’t mean you’ve failed. Simply pick yourself up and get back on track.
If you want to see health and fitness changes in 2024, well done, I applaud your decision; we all need to take steps to improve our health—and diet is key. Simple changes like increasing fruit and vegetables in your diet, drinking more filtered water and reducing processed food and takeaway will make a huge difference.
Spend more time outdoors, exercise daily, head to the beach for a walk or swim and take in the sea air. Find that place among nature that will reward you as you breathe fresh air and admire God’s handiwork.
Make this year your best year yet; let the doors of hope and opportunity swing open wide. Don’t allow fear to keep you from overcoming those habits and addictions that affect your life in a negative way. If you need help, reach out and get the help, support and tools to put you on a path to new and renewed hope to become the best you can be.
Spend quality time with those who will champion your dreams and goals encouraging you and keeping you accountable to keep going!
At Seeds of Hope, we believe in you and wish you a Happy New Year filled with hope and dreams where opportunities are new doors to walk through.
