The month of January usually feels like a long preparation for the real race and once its over, the year just began.
Finally, it has ended and year 2021 just started in February for me, While most people went about with resolutions and all that, I said “Resolutions be damned!”
I’ve never followed through a resolution because Life always found a way to turn things whenever there’s a conscious solid plan, 2020 for example. 2021 is not going to be the usual stuff, it’s going to be all about making intentional effort to “work hard and play harder”.
Instead, we could make 2021 different by doing things more, getting involved and just living.
Play More
I’m naturally a playful person; it is relaxing and a stimulant. I play with kids, my dog, with friends and with myself. This actually helps boost creativity.
Get in Shape
Exercise more and stay fit. It is very easy to decide to follow this through but your consistency what will make it possible and the trick is to find a decent program that will give you steady results and will be easy to stick to in the long run.
Eat Healthier
With good determination, self-discipline and self-stubbornness, you can slowly develop healthier eating habits. You need to learn to control your appetite and craze for junk and unhealthy food.
Positive attitude
A positive attitude opens your mind to new possibilities and you become more resilient.
It could be hard because of the “gbas-gbos” life brings, may seem impossible but greet it with a positive attitude and resolve to stay positive, no matter what happens.
Meet New People
You do not know where your next opportunity might come if you still decide on being an introvert. You miss out on a lot of interesting opportunities for networking and having fun. Meeting new people is fun for you, your mental state and could just be what your career need.
Get out there and make some friends.
Travel
I don’t care where, even if it’s a change of environment but within the state, I’m including it in my travel plans.
The world is a beautiful place so you should see it. If you can, visit as many places as possible.
Celebrate your victories.
Whatever feat you won, celebrate it, write down the events that you remember and recall how good they made you feel. I don’t care how little it was, drink a toast to yourself.
Sleep more
It can be hard to get enough sleep at night with the gadgets around, generator sound and the fact that your mind keeps sounding an alarm.
Your sleep should last for at least 8 hours a night, yes 8. Switch of all gadgets, clear your mind and create a calm environment and sleep
Have Better Sex
Sex can actually help keep us mentally and physically healthy, it is fun and rewarding experience. Find a partner you’re comfortable with and feels same way you do with similar interest and enjoy the pleasure of pleasing each other. Switch things up and add spice to it.

Staying healthy should be your top priority, don’t wait for the symptoms or condition to get severe before calling the attention of the doctor. Regular checkups are a must, no matter how healthy you feel at the moment.
