IT’S
official! We are back to reality in school and work.
Now
that that the new year is finally sinking in and we are slowly sobering up from
the holiday hangover, set our goals and to-do lists for 2017. Here are a few
teeny tiny changes that you might want to consider adding to your to-do list
this year.

Eat better
Eating
better doesn’t mean that one need to overhaul his/her diet right away. Start
small, for example, challenge yourself together with your friends to not drink
soda for a month. Once you see and feel the difference of not drinking soda you
will immediately adapt to completely eliminating it from your system. Choosing
to eat better, healthier foods each time can really result to big changes and
concrete ones too!
Wake up a ‘lil earlier than usual
I
know that I have written a few articles talking about the positive effects of
waking up earlier. This is not only about officially becoming a “tita” or
“tito” (lol hahaha) but there is really great things in the morning that are
waiting for you. Waking up earlier conditions your mind for the day ahead plus
gives you extra time to prep and even make yourself some breakfast.
Observe proper posture
I’ve
learned my lesson the hard way last year since other than my poor posture, I
also lacked consistency in physical exercise it resulted to back problems. So
if your back is still a-okay, sit straight and observe proper posture. This
will also help in waking you up at work and adds to better productivity that
slouching which makes you feel lazy.
Try something new
May
it be listening to new music artists, a spontaneous adventure, or even a
bizarre hobby. Trying something new surely adds color to our lives. So explore
and discover new things around you.
Reconnect with friends
Other
than our family, our friends are also one of our treasures so reconnect with
your old good friends this year. There’s email and social media as platforms to
communicate with them. Don’t just reminisce old memories but go and make new
ones.
Count your blessings and be thankful
With
all the negativity around us, counting your blessings is truly a great way of
refreshing our thoughts and remembering that we may have problems but we are
still blessed and thankful. You can even have a gratitude journal or a
gratitude corner in your journal/planner and re-read your entries from time to
time.
As
the saying goes: “From small beginnings come great things” start small and you
will surely end up accomplishing something big by the end of the year.
