The New Year is almost a month later, which means it’s worth thinking about what you would guess on the night of December 31 to January 1. Traditionally, girls think about the same thing: get in shape, start a good study, work more fruitfully, find a husband and so on. Here are some popular girls' New Year promises that they subsequently do not fulfill. In addition, tips are also given for their use.

Lose weight
Many girls promise themselves that in the New Year their nutrition will improve, the training regimen will be restored, and they will definitely lose weight. However, then all the New Year holidays eat sweets, fatty salads with mayonnaise and high-calorie meat. Weight gain provided.
Instead of making such promises on New Year's Eve, take up your diet and physical activity today. No need to wait for the next year and think that Santa Claus will help you in some magical way.
If you want to lose weight, focus on reducing calories and move more during the New Year holidays. Set aside chocolates and junk food.
Start thinking positively
A survey conducted in 2016 revealed that the main New Year’s promise among respondents was “Start enjoying life to the fullest.” According to psychologists, if you want to start a new life, you should not wait for December 31. Change some habits.
Conduct a daily ritual: when you wake up, ask yourself, “What am I waiting for most today?” At the end of the day, ask yourself, “What part of my day was the most enjoyable and why?”So in the morning you can set yourself up for positive thoughts, and in the evening to understand what needs to be fixed in the next day, so that it turns out to be more successful.
Save more
If your wallet looks very empty after you have bought half of the gift center, you can also become one of those who promise to spend less money on the New Year.
If you want to start saving, many experienced people recommend analyzing your budget by writing out income and expenses. And then start looking for ways to cut costs.
Buy and sell clothes in thrift stores, buy used and repaired electronics, buy products at stocks and discounts, and keep an eye on the seasonal drop in airfare. Think about how you could save in various situations and start saving more.
Spend more time with family
Time spent with loved ones will benefit everyone. Positive emotions are extremely important for your health and well-being, therefore it is not surprising that many people decide to make more efforts to maintain their ties with family and friends.
Set aside time each week to call or meet with a friend or family member. Have dinner in turns or just invite those you want to see for a long time for a walk. Friends far away? Instead, install Skype or make daily video calls in FaceTime. Install the same applications with your friend (social networks) and correspond as often as possible.
Expand your horizons
This is one of the most often broken promises, and the reason is clear to anyone who has ever tried to learn a new language or devote more time to going to theaters and exhibitions.
Not everyone can achieve their goal, because they believe that broadening their horizons is a secondary thing that will not bring any benefit (after all, somehow you lived before that without knowledge of the Chinese language). But you should avoid such thoughts.
Education must be continuous throughout life. And in order not to quit spiritual development, you need to start small. Instead of attending French classes every day, start by learning a language with apps like Duolingo. And instead of deciding to master the art of Italian cuisine, start by mastering one Italian recipe, and then develop your skills later.
Start less nervous and worry about nothing
If you decide not to give in to stress in the new year, you can try the following solution: make meditation a daily habit. Allocating ten minutes a day to it, you can make real progress in achieving your goal of reducing stress.
Studies by scientists and psychologists show that daily meditation has a positive effect on the nerve cells of the brain, making you more resistant to stress.
Stop sitting a lot on smartphones and gadgets
Do not believe it is possible? Cell phone addiction is real. The average person checks his phone about 100 times a day, according to the Daily Mail.
If you're ready to fight your habits and stop depending on your phone, follow these tips:
1) Turn off all non-essential notifications and keep the phone as far away from you as possible.
2) Set yourself time periods (not more than five minutes) during which you will check email and social networks. But watch out for time so that it doesn't turn out later that you have been viewing photos of your former dorm roommate for an hour.
3) Replace the habit. Instead of reaching for the phone, grab a magazine or book. It is much more interesting to find out what happened to the main character of the novel after she got married.
Quit smoking
According to the American Cancer Society, only 4 to 7 percent of smokers manage to quit smoking, but these chances improve dramatically (up to 25 percent) if people replace their bad habit with a good one.
Analyze why you want to smoke. Do you get rid of stress or boredom in this way? Find other ways to do this, less harmful. For example, learn meditation or yoga, start reading more, make herbal tea, or listen to relaxing music.
Drink less alcohol
If you want to reduce alcohol consumption in the new year, John Norcross, Ph.D., recommends avoiding parties and get-togethers with friends who might tempt you to drink a lot of alcohol. Instead, invite guests to your home for dinner so you can control how much you drink, how much alcohol is served, and most importantly, how much you drink.
Normalize sleep patterns
Good sleep is essential for overall health, so it’s extremely important to think about how much you sleep. In order to improve your sleep, you need to think about your habits and environment.
First, try to go to bed at the same time every night, so that your body gets used to it and starts to give signals in the form of fatigue.
Secondly, avoid caffeine in the afternoon and try to drink the last alcoholic drink at least two to three hours before bedtime.
Thirdly, make your bedroom a haven for sleep, buy comfortable bedding: soft pillows, a warm blanket, bedding with your favorite color scheme. Sleep with toys or with your pet.
