20 New Year's resolutions that you can easily keep

There are two types of people, people with good intentions and people who 'don't do it'. But one way or another, good intentions always come up for discussion with a new year. Especially after a year like 2021, it is not such a bad idea to introduce a few simple good habits.

TIP : Don't make it too difficult for yourself, the circumstances are already a bit less easy than normal. That's why here is a list of 20 potential New Year's resolutions, some of which you can pick up for a great 2022.

5 - Choose a healthier lifestyle - That doesn't have to be difficult either!! Just providing a lot more energy is also a lot of fun, read here: 3 Simple tips to start your day with great energy

6 - Go for those 10,000 footsteps - Or at least for more footsteps. Get some fresh air more often in between. Take your bike or walk if you don't have to go far somewhere, that makes a big difference on a daily basis

7 - Start a capsule wardrobe - What is a capsule wardrobe? A capsule wardrobe is a selection of your most favorite and essential pieces of clothing that will last a season. Officially, a capsule wardrobe consists of 37 items that hang in your closet for 3 months.

12 - Hang nice memories - Nothing is as nice as photos of beautiful memories and lovely people around you. Use a nice changing rack like this one from Fonq

13 - Keep in touch - Speaking of nice people, keep those people close with contact. You don't have to show up on your doorstep every week, but a small message, card or occasional phone call can't hurt to stay in each other's world.

14 - Start a new hobby - How about polka dots? You can easily learn this online at Stipstijl (recommended).

15 - Cook at least one new dish every week - This is super easy with Hello Fresh, highly recommended if you want to discover new meals every week! Greek salad with chicken thigh is one of my favorite Hello Fresh recipes.

16 - Read more books - You can discover new, fun books here

17 - Drink less alcohol - This is a good resolution for so many reasons.

18 - Always take the stairs - In addition to an escalator you will often find 'real stairs' and an elevator often also has such a thing. Resolve to always choose the tiring option and voila!

19 - Invest in a good sports outfit - Because that motivates BIG time, I can assure you. Also look here for sports & yoga tips .

20 - Start keeping plants - Trust me, once you start paying attention, you won't be able to stop. In addition, plants provide more oxygen in the home. Start small with a nice plant from Bloompost, for example! This is Stippie (€21.95)

And? There must be something in between, right?
