We\u2019re not here to slate New Year\u2019s resolutions. They can be a really powerful way to change things up, state your intentions for the new year. But let\u2019s face it \u2013 more often than not, by about, oh, February 1st, they’ve fallen by the wayside.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the most common New Year\u2019s resolutions, and what we think they say about you. Don\u2019t take these too seriously \u2013 and don\u2019t feel too<\/em> bad about breaking any of your resolutions this year. We’ve all been there.<\/p>\n

Get healthy<\/h2>\n

You barely remember the days between Christmas and New Year. It\u2019s all a blur of cheese boards and eating After Eights before 8am. And hey, no judgement \u2013 we all deserve a little bit of indulgence! But come January 1st<\/sup>, the totally vague, amorphous idea of \u2018get healthy\u2019 seemed like a great idea. You\u2019ve ordered yourself the finest Gymshark have to offer, got your brand new Nikes on \u2013 but oh, it\u2019s already half seven now, and it\u2019s already dark, and it\u2019s so cold – not really feeling it, maybe tomorrow? Yeah, definitely tomorrow. For sure.<\/p>\n

Take up a new hobby<\/h2>\n

You\u2019re probably one of those people that already has five hobbies on the go, but just needs to squeeze another one in there. It\u2019s not enough that you can already play an instrument while crocheting a scarf for your five-a-side football team \u2013 oh, and did you mention that you had a loaf of homemade bread in the oven? But no, one more can\u2019t hurt. I\u2019m sure your friends will be delighted to see how your Argentinian tango is coming along in March, when they\u2019ve all given up on their resolutions and are feeling wildly inadequate.<\/p>\n

Spend less money<\/h2>\n

Well, we\u2019ve got good news and bad news. The good news is that you\u2019re likely to save money in the first few months of the new year… and the bad news is that it’s because everyone is broke from Christmas and it’s too gloomy and cold to plan anything fun. But aiming to curb your spending is a good goal, especially if you\u2019re saving for something special – in the depths of January, we all need some holiday on the horizon to look forward to, even if only a staycation<\/a> here in the UK. And hey, if you\u2019re looking for thrifty ways to keep yourself or your kids occupied, instead of turning to Netflix yet again, why not one of our winter crafting DIY ideas<\/a> for some fun seasonal crafts?<\/p>\n

Drink less<\/h2>\n

Making your New Year\u2019s resolution \u2018drink less\u2019 is a noble goal. But we\u2019re guessing it\u2019s becoming a necessity, because your brown glass recycling bin is becoming a health hazard and no one should have to make that many trips to the bottle bank. Chances are you\u2019re the most fun person in your friend group, and the first one to suggest a cheeky drink after work, but you\u2019ve had one too many \u2018I spent how much??\u2019 <\/em>bank statement panics on a Sunday morning and you feel it\u2019s time to do something about it. And if you need a bit of motivation, here\u2019s our tongue-in-cheek look at just what your favourite drink says about you<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Read more<\/h2>\n

You spent most of your last year slumped in front of the TV or endlessly scrolling through your Twitter feed, so you\u2019ve made a resolution to read more this year. Good for you! Realistically, this will go one of two ways: you\u2019ll end up with a dusty Hilary Mantel book on your bedside table, untouched with a bookmark at about the 1\/5th<\/sup> mark until July when you give up and relegate it back to the bookshelf. Or, you\u2019ll post a picture of your stack of books to read, beautifully arranged for Instagram, read a couple, then get massively distracted by whatever this year\u2019s answer to Squid Game ends up being and never go back to them.<\/p>\n

Spend more time with loved ones<\/h2>\n

Spending more time with the people you love most is a sweet goal. But what does it say about you? Well, it definitely suggests that you\u2019re a workaholic who\u2019s always #onthegrind. Working hard is all well and good, but if you\u2019re not logging off until 9pm every night you\u2019re definitely getting more quality time with Outlook than you are with your offspring. It’s time to make a change – so you’ll be logging off at 8:30pm. Good for yo- oh, no, wait, the kids are already in bed. Oops.<\/p>\n
