New years is that time when we all make tons of resolutions to start the year with lots of energy. But I’d like to start this new year a little different. Instead of making a multitude of big resolutions, I’m thinking to make a few little resolutions that are gonna make a great impact. That way, at least I’d be free from the stress that I’m not meeting the big resolutions I have made at the start of the year. So, these are the 5 little things or let’s say, habits to develop, I’m thinking to start this new year.
For a bunch of big resolutions, check this out: 15 smarter New Year goals that will transform your 2018 totally.
5 habits to develop to make life less clumsy
The following resolutions are so good at making life less clumsy. I have heard from so many people that these things are great so, I thought why not I make these little things my resolutions for the coming New year.
Let’s see what habits to develop to improve life!!
Habits to develop 1: Digital detox day
In this smart technology-driven era people are so obsessed with the digital things rather than the actuals that are important for life. In fact, we are a little too much attached to the virtual world rather than the actual people. How can I say this? Let’s say if something disastrous is happening in front of you, what would you do? Go for the victim’s help or take out your phone to post on social media. I have seen many people go for the second one.
So, I think this particular resolution, “Digital Detox”, is wonderful to get us back connected to the actual world. This digital detox day can be as often as we want. I’m thinking to make it a once-a-week thing.
Habits to develop 2: A day to declutter (both life & surroundings)
It is just as important as anything. This one makes life so easy and clearer. Isn’t that what we all want!! Take time once or twice every month to declutter both your surrounding and life. If the place we live is shabby our thoughts will be shabbier. Hence, decluttering the place you live is absolutely needed once a while.
Also, decluttering life is as needed. Declutter the negative people, bad habits, wrong decisions, and everything that doesn’t make much sense from your life. The day you start doing this is the day you see things turn around your way. This I have started earlier this year and I want to continue it to the coming year as well.
Habits to develop 3: Make books your buddies
You can see me say book-reading as a great thing in almost every self-improvement article of mine because I know how much impact it has made in my life and I want everyone to experience that. Make books your best buddies. Anytime, anywhere, they will accompany you. It has numerous benefits like de-stressing, confidence boosting, better writing skills, command over the language, better mental health etc…etc…etc…

Habits to develop 4: Meditation
I have heard many people say great things about “Meditation” and I want to give it a whirl this New year. I did meditation now and then but not really continuous. I want to put in a constant effort into the meditation and see how it goes for me.

Habits to develop 5: A day just to be all by myself
Life has become so busy these days and we can’t even find time for ourselves let alone sparing time for others. Even when we are working we can’t be ourselves we try to be someone else to impress others… maybe our boss or colleagues or someone else. And that is very tiring. So, I have decided to give myself a whole day every week or so just to be myself. That way I also get to rejuvenate myself for all the things I have to go through the coming days and hopefully, it won’t be as tiring as it’s now.
That’s all!! Developing these little 5 positive habits will take your day from “Just Okay” to “Upbeat”. Hope you loved the post, if yes, leave a comment below and let me know which of these 5 habits to introduce to make life less clumsy are you going to make your resolution this New year.
