Can't Commit to a New Year's Resolution? You'll Love These 50 Simple Changes

By  08:09  No comments

We spent December giving in to temptation, living out our last few hurrahs, and telling ourselves that it's all good because come 2018, it's go-time. Well . . . it's a new year now, and chances are, most of us have failed to keep up with our cold-turkey cutting New Year's Resolutions. Rather than feeling an all-consuming guilt that prevents us from making any meaningful changes at all, why not forgive ourselves? To be frank, it's crazy that we expect ourselves to metamorphose into different people as soon as the countdown to midnight is over. We set ourselves up for failure with unrealistic pressure! I say any amount of improvement is something to celebrate, which is why it can be best to start your resolutions off small. You'd be surprised by the amount of progress you can make little by little each day! Here are 50 easy, yet life-altering New Year's Resolutions that anyone can commit to.
