Have you thought about your New Year’s Resolution for 2014? Do you believe creating a list of things to do or not to do will help towards a better you for a New Year? As we approach 2014, we have decided to list the 10 most commonly used New Year’s Resolutions.
1. Getting a new image: A new haircut, hair color or length is a favorite new years resolution list topper. Something about changing the hairstyle makes us adapt a new attitude. For most of us it will be the big chop or maybe a lighter color.
2. Lose weight: Following the feast of the festive season, many of us will get the motivation to start a new diet, go to the gym, walk more and eat less to achieve the ultimate new weight. Starting a gym membership is usually the first point of call and most times only used for the first month of the Year, the battle of the bulge will be the main focal point for most of us in 2014.
3. Getting rid of an ex-partner contacts: Delete, Delete, Delete! oh yes and BLOCK! No need to enter the New Year with last years baggage.
4. Change of job: Are you fed up with your job? Now is the time to re-consider and change your role! maximize your full potential and start the new year in a new environment!
