As the year comes to an end, many people are excited for a fresh start to arrive. People have been going about new year resolutions for the longest time — but over the past few years, many have questioned whether it was worth it.
Some say it has gotten repetitive as people have always endeavored similar goals that they will likely never complete (such as extreme diets and far-fetched productivity). However, after such a year of turmoil that has deduced quite a few from everyone’s lives, people should really consider making a list of their New Year resolutions.
This could be the perfect opportunity to jot down some of the things you weren’t able to do this year because of all the pandemic-made limitations. The year 2021 is going to be a fresh start for many.
One can start by setting out different goals to accomplish throughout the year to make up for the tragic start of this new decade. For tomorrow, people now have a newfound source of motivation that is mostly going to keep them from giving up on their objectives: the turbulent memorandum we call 2020.
“An estimated 188.9 million adult Americans (74.02% of the population) say they’re determined to learn something new, make a lifestyle change or set a personal goal in an effort to better themselves in 2021, a 15.17% increase from the previous year,” as found in a statement from a Finder survey about New Year’s resolutions.
Since people found themselves with extra time on their hands, they were able to pick up new hobbies and discover different ideas to implement in their plan for the following year. These could be additions to their lifestyle, outdoor habits, or anything they could incorporate into their daily routine.
There have been many common ones, such as exercise or starting a new diet that people turn to every year. Still, goals do not only need to apply to a person’s appearance. A new year resolution can be anything that you want to improve in your life or something that you would like to add — like the practice of enacting better time management. It can be something funny or a new action that you want to go about.
There were many expectations for this year that were not fulfilled. Now, this burden transitions starting tomorrow. The year 2021 can be seen as the light at the end of the tunnel for a new start with everyone’s goals and dreams.
