It’s a new year and the pressure is on to make this one even better than the last. The beginning of the year is the perfect time to reprioritise your life and set goals for the months to come. But, rather than set the same old boring, unachievable New Year’s resolutions, this year why not try something different? Forget promising yourself (again) that you’ll lose 10KG before the end of 2020, this year, fill your resolution list with easy, good-for-you goals. Not sure where to start? We’ve made things easy with these 5 fun and achievable resolutions for 2020.<\/p>\n

1. Cook one new thing each week:<\/h4>\n

\"mussels\"<\/p>\n

If you’re keen to broaden your cooking horizons then why not make a commitment to spend more time in the kitchen this year? Start off slow by making a date to try a new recipe each week. It doesn’t have to be anything complicated, start off slow and choose one easy dinner recipe\u00a0you’ve never tried, at least once a week. Get started with a few of these deliciously easy recipes<\/a> from our recipe’s section.<\/p>\n

2. Read a new book every month:<\/h4>\n

\"reading\"<\/p>\n

Another great New Year’s resolution is to commit to reading more books. The new year is\u00a0the perfect time to snuggle up with a new book. Setting a relaxed goal like reading a new book every month is easy to achieve, even for busy types who find it hard to make time for themselves. Keep yourself accountable to this resolution by buying a Kindle and registering a Kindle account. As you finish each book make a point of reviewing each book you read by posting an Amazon book review from your Kindle. By the end of the year, you’ll have a clear snapshot of how well you accomplished your literary goal. Not sure which e-reader to choose?

Want to be more active this year? Start off slow with a more realistic goal. Committing to taking the stairs every day at the office or your apartment building is a great way to start developing a healthy habit. No stairs where you live or work? Try making a commitment to walk more, whether that means parking further away from the entrance to the grocery store or taking a lunchtime stroll every day at the office.<\/p>\n

5. Treat yourself to affordable facials<\/h4>\n

\"Face<\/p>\n

Don’t have the budget for regular spa treatments? Treat yourself at home with me-time that won’t break the bank. Rather than splashing out at a spa, give yourself a facial at home once a month to help reduce stress levels and improve the condition of your skin. Splash out on a few inexpensive sheet masks and book a little me time every week.<\/p>\n
