Two things about New Year Resolutions. They are very easy to make, and they are extremely hard to keep. One of the reasons is that they seem attractive enough on the first of January but quickly and quietly lose their sparkle as the cold days wear on. But what if you had some New Year Resolution ideas that could keep their appeal all year long? Here are a few simple thoughts, quotes, and fun pictures you can use as wallpapers.
The Plan
1. Read More
This is as simple as New Year resolution ideas can get. Reading is one of the activities that enrich both the mind and the soul, educating and improving your culture at the same time. Log on to a site such as Goodreads and start from there!
2. Cultivate a More Realistic Social Feed
Take into account all that is happening in the world from a social point of view in terms of feminism, realism or positive body image. In this sense, help improve society by posting more realistic photos on your social media accounts.
3. Make the Basic at Home
This year, learn how to make the basic things you buy at the supermarket right in your kitchen. Start very small with guacamole, hummus, vinaigrette dressing or marinara sauce. They are impossibly simple to make, a lot tastier, and much healthier when made at home.

‘And now we welcome the new year. Full of things that have never been.’ – Rainer Maria Rilke
Take Rilke’s advice and make sure it is so. This poet and novelist has a point. Every new year that we embrace has to be different from the one we just left behind. Otherwise, what’s the point?

‘There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.’ – C.S. Lewis
Granted, what lies ahead might not exactly be Narnia, like it was for C.S. Lewis, but if you try hard enough and keep an open mind, the year to come may definitely be better than the one that just ended.

‘I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes… Whatever it is you’re scared of doing, do it. Make your mistakes, next year and forever.’ – Neil Gaiman
The author of American Gods, Stardust and Good Omens has a very important lesson to teach us. Mistakes are good. They are the stuff life is made of, and you shouldn’t be afraid of making your very own mistakes, as long as you learn from them and grow into a better person.
