December is a month of many celebrations and the occasional resolution to change certain habits and customs we're not particularly comfortable with. New Year's resolutions are another of the usual Christmas lists, like those for requests to the Three Wise Men, Secret Santas, or family or friends. Intentions are all very well, but they're in vain if you don't take the next step and implement them. Therefore, here are five realistic and achievable resolutions to start 2023 with strength and a small hope for change.
Play sports
It's a classic on this type of list. Sports as a pending challenge that we never quite get around to fulfilling. Perhaps this is the right year to stick with the established plan. It's not a good idea to set a very ambitious goal, so we have to take it slow and steady. Let's be cautious and give ourselves plenty of leeway: practicing a sport , any activity, three days a week; to take care of your body. It's a fairly coherent prediction for someone who doesn't usually practice sports on a daily basis. If the person is someone who does frequently engage in sports, then the goal could be to increase intensity by setting a specific goal, which is set with an eye to the future and which can focus a good part of the sports calendar. And exercising doesn't have to mean going to the gym; if you live near the sea, you can go for a walk along the promenade, or, if you're more into the mountains, a brisk 30-minute stroll through the countryside will do you good. It could also mean practicing your favorite sport, cycling, padel tennis, or a game of basketball with friends.
Take care of your body
And what better way to start than with your feet. Sports are healthy, although they can wear down your feet, so wearing the right footwear is essential. Many people overlook this aspect, and that's a mistake. Taking steps to improve the quality and rest of your feet is a good New Year's resolution, and the solution lies in wearing good footwear, like Surippa flip-flops . They're made with Dynergy Technology, which features 3D waves that cushion your footfall and achieve the best results with every step. The impact on the ground is reduced, as is the potential for joint fatigue caused by not wearing the optimal material. Now you'll wear them around the house, and since the goal is to wear them year-round, in a few months these comfortable flip-flops will be used at the pool and the beach.
Take care of your mind
A good resolution for next year is to get back to reading, which is also a healthy habit; in this case, related to cognitive ability. As with sports, you shouldn't set a goal that's difficult to achieve, as it would be very disappointing. In that sense, you can start with a book every three months. It's an achievable decision for most people. If the person is able to complete more books, that's great news. In any case, reading quarterly is a good intention. The Internet has opened up a range of possibilities for this idea through the e-book format, which has given way to a multitude of digital publications. Don't know where to start? There are many classic books; trust recommendations from family or friends or turn to bestsellers.
Discover new places
Health is also improved by traveling, so most people would agree that another goal is to travel more and discover previously unknown places. We can do a more thorough job of filtering and say that the objective is to visit unfamiliar areas of our country. Spain is an open door, full of surprises and opportunities. If we were to look at a map, we would hardly be able to see all the provinces, and it's a utopia to think we know every municipality. There's a lot of work ahead, so the goal is to visit, for the first time, towns and cities in Spain. As part of this challenge, we can look for more sustainable means of transportation that guarantee respect for the environment. A train ride to a capital city and, from there, renting bicycles to tour the region's hidden corners.
Investing time with family and friends
And of course, we also need to nourish our spirit and our emotions. New technologies bring people closer together communicatively, although they can be a double-edged sword, in the sense that they distance them physically. Keeping in touch through messaging apps and social media doesn't mean we're close to the people we love. The goal is to spend more time with family and friends, those who may live in other cities and with whom we rarely meet. We need to reduce the waiting time between meetings and find ways to maintain greater contact.
And with all this, we hope you have a happy new year!
