Resolutions can be hard to make and keep, but here are some simple and practical tips to help you make a positive change in your life.

It is possible to earn money from certain pastimes. Gardening, cooking, baking, painting, photography, sewing, blogging, gaming, shopping for others, having a YouTube channel where you post reviews of things, share recipes, sing, or do whatever you like are all viable options.

Don't give up on the things you genuinely want to do. Be self-assured and courageous in the pursuit of your passion. Avoid being tricked into thinking you have done enough. Instead, set your sights on performing better and doing more!

It’s all right to make mistakes, but don’t let them discourage you. Be kind to yourself because everyone makes errors, regrets things said or done, and loses out on opportunities. Don’t dwell on yesterday’s failures. Consider what you can do now to go forward after learning from past failures.

Jot down your feelings, objectives, and goals to better understand them. This is a habit that can help you boost your professional and personal growth. Putting your vision on paper helps you see where you’re going and what you want to achieve.

‘Me time’ boosts productivity, reduces stress and rewires our brains. To achieve this, maintain an organised daily schedule, learn to delegate, convince yourself sometimes it’s okay to say no, and limit your social media usage.

Living in the moment is not thinking about the past or worrying about the future. Afterall, the purpose of life is to, well, live it - to the fullest! Because you never know what may happen in the future, you must be grateful, appreciate, and enjoy every minute of your life.
