New Years blog posting - 12 things you must do every day

Every year we all make “New Year’s Resolutions” – promises to ourselves that basically fall into a big heap after only the first week of trying.

The problem with most New Year’s Resolutions is that we try to aim too big. This year, why not lower your standards slightly (okay – you need to lower them a lot) and try to do more things that are much easier to achieve.

If you are stuck for ideas then try the following……………

Top 13 Things You Must Do Every Day

Get eight hours sleep a night. Easy! A double-dip win. More time lazing around in bed, more feelings of revitalization the next day.
Eat two serves of fruit and vegetables a day. This might be less daunting than it sounds. Does wine and beer count as wine is made from grapes (fruit) and beer comes from hops (vegetables???).
Drink three litres of water a day. Hold on – didn’t it used to be only two litres a day, last year???
Make your own lunch every day instead of buying it. This will save you around $10 a day (if you live in the city) which equates to a business class ticket to London at the end of the year……good idea!
Do at least half an hour of exercise each day. Does making your own lunch and all the trips to the toilet after drinking 3 litres of water count as exercise???
Get out of the office to each your lunch. Could this be combined with # 5 above? Are you getting the feeling that exercise is not high on the priority list J
Start power napping. You’ll need to after all the exercising your doing and if you have totally disregarded what was mentioned in #1 and stayed up all night surfing the net! Hey, does surfing the net count as exercise?????
Do one thing every day that scares you. What!!!!! Eating fruit and vegetables; drinking three litres of water; making your own lunch and all that exercise isn’t scary enough??????????
Get home in time to have dinner with your family. For some people this could be the answer to # 8 above. It is also a great opportunity to eat more of those fruit and vegetables and down some more water. And if your lucky there will be leftover for you to pack for lunch the next day.
Spend some meaningful time with your partner. See # 9 above and while we’re on the subject, you could make your lunch together with your partner. Not only is this good bonding time but you’ll save twice the money meaning your partner can come on that business class flight with you to London.
Get some “me” time. Yes please. No more water, fruit or vegetables, no more sleeping and definitely no more exercise. It’s all about alcohol, chocolate, fast food, TV etc etc etc.
Slow down and smell the roses. After all that exercising, drinking water, eating, bonding and scaring, you’ve got even less energy left to get through your actual workload. You’re now so far behind with everything you might as well totally chill-out and take time to smell the roses.
Be more ruthless with setting your daily priorities and deciding on who you should take advice from :-

Happy new year!!!
