The most common New Year’s resolutions – how to keep them?

New Year is a great excuse for many people to make some important changes in their lives. That’s when we tend to decide to introduce healthy eating habits or take up a sport in order to get in shape and keep fit in general. Even if the changes we’ve introduced are small enough for us to be able to stick to them without any major issues, it may still turn out that keeping New Year’s resolutions requires some extra help to reach the final goal.

New Year’s resolutions. What are the most common things we want to achieve in the New Year?

A stereotype says that we give up most of our New Year’s resolutions after a few weeks at most. However, it happens that not only do we manage to fulfil our dreams that have so far been out of reach for us, but also to stick to certain principles that help us to achieve various tasks. Even though we can make important changes in our life at any time, January 1 seems to be quite a significant date. It symbolises a new beginning and starting with a clean slate. No wonder that it’s usually the time when we decide to pursue a goal that we’ve been thinking about for a long time.

What are the most common New Year’s resolutions? Among them, we can find:

• living a healthier lifestyle – as we’ve noticed a few extra pounds or the fact that we get tired more easily during physical activities. We also realise that our current diet includes lots of processed food that, if we consume it to excess, can lead to many serious diseases. That’s why we decide to transform our diet by including natural, healthy ingredients and we often combine it with doing sports;
• new hobby – it often happens that we give up a hobby or never even have time to take it up and develop a new passion. New Year is a great opportunity to give it a go. It might require purchasing some professional equipment, e.g. When we want to take up photography. However, it’s a good thing to broaden your horizons and become more knowledgeable in a field that has been a mystery to us so far;
• opening up your own business – have you been thinking about opening your own company for a long time? Then it’s a good idea to quickly go ahead with all the necessary formalities. Even though freeing up some space for a company office might be a bit problematic, it’s worth getting through the first difficult months to be able to enjoy higher profits in the future;
• moving house – as of New Year many people decide to move out of their family house or change their place for a more comfortable or a bigger one. It also happens that we move to a different city in search of better job prospects and more comfortable life.
• having a baby – very often the New Year turns out to be the moment when we start thinking about becoming parents.

How to stick to your New Year’s resolutions?

First of all, we need to remember that all the must be introduced changes gradually. Don’t bite off more than you can chew. For instance, if your resolution is to develop your drawing skills, there’s no point investing a lot of money in professional resources from the very beginning – it’s better to start with a few elements and then add some more as we go along. At the end of the day, we don’t want it to be just a short-lived enthusiasm.

Moreover, it’s useful to write down an action plan for our resolutions. We can define different stages that will lead us to our dram goal and crossing out different elements, one by one, will boost our motivation.

Do not forget to be realistic about it. It’s better to have one resolution that will take a lot of your time and attention than a few different ones. Otherwise, you won’t be able to focus on one activity properly and you’ll end up not completing any task.

Self storage and New Year’s resolutions

As we’ve already mentioned, New Year’s resolutions usually take up a lot of our energy and they usually mean that we have to be well-organised, not only in terms of time management. New equipment, resources and other objects related to our interests might require some space. Trying to get everything organised might be too overwhelming to us and we can get discouraged from pursuing the new hobby, which we’ll eventually give up after just a few weeks.

That’s why, if New Year’s resolutions made us discover that there’s not enough space in our house for all our belongings, it’s a good idea to consider a convenient solution, namely self storage. It’s a kind of service that offers rental storage units. At Less Mess Storage, we provide the people living in the biggest cities in Poland with a chance to reorganise their things, regardless of whether they’re looking for a temporary or a rather permanent solution.

Our storage units will be of great help if you’re getting ready to move house and you need a room to fit all your furniture and more. They will safely wait there until the new place in ready for you to move in. It’s the same story if you’re expecting a baby and are looking for all the necessary equipment that will provide your newborn the best start into this world.
