And just like that another year has come to an end. More than ever this year we’ve been forced to take a hard look at the way we’re living our lives. Many of us have experienced major shifts and are looking for ways to get the most out of 2021. If you’re looking for positive and unique New Year’s Resolution Ideas, then look no further. I’ve compiled a list of 100 New Year’s Resolutions that’ll make 2021 the best year yet.
Don’t forget that when making any goal, including New Year’s Resolutions, it’s important to make them SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time based). This makes it easy to measure your progress as the year goes on. I’d always recommend having some kind of weekly or monthly check in on your goals to stay motivated.
