NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS


Like many people around the world, you have probably made one (or ten!) New Year's resolutions. Though a day of relaxing on New Year's Day may be relaxing, consider getting a jump start on your New Year's resolutions. Here are some tips for productive things you can accomplish on January 1.



1). Consider cleaning your closets and giving your clothes to charity. If one of your New Year's resolutions is to clear your house of some clutter, cleaning out your closet is a great way to start the New Year. Once you are done, you will feel instantly relieved at the extra space and organization. Consider separating seasonal clothes as well as dressy clothes or costumes you don't wear often. Having your most common clothes in plain sight will save time in the morning rush to work.

For clothes that are still in decent shape and you simply do not want anymore, consider donating them to charity. You will feel twice as good when the job is done knowing it is going to people in need.



2). Make a pledge to hit the gym today. If one of your New Year's resolutions is to lose weight or get physically fit, do not delay. Sign up at the gym today and devote at least 30 minutes to cardio or weight lifting. By beginning on the first day of the year, you will start a clean state and be one for one for the year so far. You won't want to ruin your streak, so you will be more likely to get back at it the next day.




3). Consider buying a new piggy bank. Obviously, don't invest a lot of money in a new piggy bank because that defeats the purpose. Buying a cheap, yet cute piggy bank will make you feel more inclined to drop loose change or dollar bills in there right away. Once you get your next check, you will want to continue the process.

 



4). Go grocery shopping for healthier food. If your New Year's resolution is to eat healthier, round up the family and pick out healthy snacks that everyone can enjoy. With a refrigerator full of healthy snacks on New year's Day, you are more likely to begin reaching for smarter food options immediately.





5). Volunteer. If you pledged to devote more time volunteering with animals or children, today is a great day to start. You only have to devote a couple of hours to make a difference. Kicking off the New Year making a difference in your community will make a difference to you too.




What about you, what are your New Year’s Resolutions? How are you going to celebrate your New Year’s Day? How will you start your New Year 2011?







QUIET NEW YEAR’S DAY
New Year's Eve is inarguably the rowdiest party of the year. Most will be out in the streets, but some would prefer to just spend it quietly at home. Here are the safest options should you choose the latter.


Have your partner spend the evening with you. Make it just the duo and agree not to let your personal or professional lives interfere with the evening.

This means cellphones off.






Pop in a DVD the both of you agree on. Remember that come midnight, your neighbors will probably be screaming the perfunctory "Happy New Year!" greetings from wherever they may be. You might want to consider a loud action movie simply to drown out these ubiquitous cheers.




Mix a few cocktails. You don't need to be reminded that this evening serves to be an enjoyable one, even if it's just the two of you. Instead of a "Happy New Year", make it a "Merry New Year"! Cosmos and Martinis are excellent classics that should last you well into the new year.










 
What better way to start off the New Year than with some lovemaking. When the mood strikes, and with the whole world out and about enjoying themselves silly, have your own brand of merrymaking on the couch or the bedroom.

Set off the fireworks without setting off the smoke detector!

             Sleep. Sleep. Sleep. Have a well-deserved rest for the year hath only just begun. You will have 364 days to go before the next celebration, but until then, make every day of the new year as exciting as the day you ended last year with.

Don't make it a one-time affair. Repeat your celebrations for optimum satisfaction!



    

·         Take this time to reflect on all the good that you did the last year. Don't haggle on the misdeeds.
·         Remember that the person you choose to be with carries you into the new year.
·         Don't lose your head with the alcohol. You don't want to be passed out when your partner's hoping to make the evening last.

  2. Celebrate the New Year with your own fireworks, if they are legal where you live. Prepare in advance, read the instructions, have water handy for accidents, and be careful.
