2019 Resolutions
Well, it’s a new year, which means you get to start a new you! Take a second to step back and really think about your resolutions for this year. Do you want to travel more? Learn a new language? Be more adventurous in your wardrobe? Meet new people? Go back to school?
Who says you can only have one resolution for this year?! I have decided on a few resolutions for myself and thought it would be a great idea to break them down by category! So, my fashionistas, here is my breakdown of suggestions to help you pick your resolutions for 2019!
Travel
- pick 2 countries you want to visit this year
- visit U.S. states on your “never been to list”
- pick a new adventure on a vacation: hiking, white water rafting, four wheeling, visit a winery, climb Haleakala
Fashion
- avoid wearing all black outfits everyday
- go outside your comfort zone and try a new style, or wear bright colors
- try to go to go to your first NYFW shows
Beauty
- treat yourself to a facial once a month to help your skin stay glowing, young, and smooth
- change up the products you are using to promote healthy skin
- teach yourself how to master putting make up on your face shape
Lifestyle
- read a book at least once a month and truly enjoy it
- make new friends by joining a new group whether it is networking or social there are so many people in the world just like you looking to meet new people everyday
- make a change in your daily routine; try out that painting class you have been reading about, go take a cooking class, visit all of the museums in NYC, anything to make you happy and get you out of that rut!
Health
- workout at least 3 to 5 days per week to promote a healthy lifestyle
- cut out foods in your diet that you know you shouldn’t be eating
- join a gym, go to work out classes or start with a trainer to achieve your personal body goals for this year (P.S. free 3 day NYC Crunch Gym Pass Here)
Work
- take the time to help someone new in your office
- evaluate if your career path is where you want to be and then act on it to be the successful person you want to be
- put in those extra hours a week to show your boss you want that promotion, and don’t be scared to talk to your boss about it, they want you to be successful and there could be an opportunity you don’t even know about right in front of your eyes
I hope you can take away something from my list of resolution suggestions. It is a new year and time for you to make a new change in yourself. In order to promote a healthy lifestyle, one must be the change they want to see. Take ahold of your life and accomplish everything you have been dreaming to do!
