As the calendar turns to 2026, the year 2025 has come to an end, and we all have carried lots of memories with us to cherish, including happiness, sorrow, sufferings, and success throughout our lives. Last year we all might have made resolutions, but some of the resolutions were followed dedicatedly and some resolutions lasted only for a short period of time. As the new year begins, let us all make a fresh resolution and let us all keep up the promise to follow it strictly and mindfully.
Resolutions are just the promises that we make to ourselves. They might be the smaller ones or the bigger ones. We can choose to take part in good activities, engaging in social work, helping the poor or those who are in need, taking good care of our parents, respecting each and everyone around us. All of these are really good examples for us to lead a better and fulfilling life overall.
Here are some of the mindful resolutions that we all can follow this year,
Staying hydrated:
First and the most important thing is that we all have to stay hydrated all the time to maintain a good and healthy body. We should start drinking lots and lots of water every day. At least an average of 2 liters of water per day can make our body hydrated. When a body is well hydrated, it can remove toxicity. It helps our skin to glow. It helps in our energy levels, and it also makes our mind very sharp. We can start our day with water early morning. And also we can end the day with water by drinking at least a glass while going to bed. Alternatively, we can have fruits like watermelon, oranges, or cucumbers, which is high in water content. Let us set reminders for ourselves to drink water each and every day without any compromise.
Practicing Gratitude Everyday:
Practicing gratitude every day can increase our happiness, reduce our stress, improve our health, and strengthen our relationships. Even small acts like writing three things that you are thankful for every day can help your life to be very meaningful and mindful. It not only boosts our happiness, it reduces our stress. It not only improves our health, it improves and strengthens our relationships. It also helps us to carry self-esteem in ourself. Saying thank you to ourselves and to the people who has helped us, guided us will make our lives so much better. Being thankful is a very great thing in life because when you thank people, your self-esteem will grow and also you will be motivated.
Learning a new language or skill:
Learning a new language or skill can add lots of value to our lives. Learning a new language means learning a different culture. It helps us to connect with people across the world, and it can bring us career opportunities. It makes our brain active all the time. Learning a skill is very important in all our lives because whether it is cooking, photography, or learning a musical system, it adds a joy and happiness to our lives. A resolution like this can make us feel proud of ourselves and to our dear ones.
Learning cooking:
Cooking is a form of art. When we start cooking or when you learn cooking, you can take in charge of what goes into your body. Home cooked meals can be healthier than eating in a restaurant every day. When you learn cooking, you can cook all by yourself, and also you can share food with your friends and family, which makes our relationships build stronger. When you start learning to cook, you will feel happier when you have created something with just grains, vegetables and fruits.
Being offline once a week:
Being offline once a week. This sounds like a very serious one, but this can help us a lot. Being offline once a week can make our mind fresh because in today's world we all live with gadgets like mobiles, laptops, TV and many more. Leading a life without gadgets has become very tough, but this year let us all make a resolution on being offline at least once a week. Which means you can spend a lot of time with your family. You can play games with your friends, go to the park, or you can do mindful things which makes you happy. But with one condition, to not touch any of the gadgets or our mobile phones. This might sound a little difficult, but let's do this, and let's make our mind free at least once a week.
Finally, these resolutions should not just be a temporary one, it should be taken throughout our lives. These resolutions are very simple and very easier to follow because every year the resolutions we make are half complete and other half incomplete . But this year, let us all promise to make this year to be very productive and worthwhile.
