New year, new me.
Or so we tell ourselves every year. But no matter how hard
we try, to tend to make the same resolutions year in, year out, and yet nothing
ever really changes.
But after the year we’ve had in 2020, if ever there was a
time to reach for the stars, it’s now, and these three New Year’s Resolutions
are perfect for those who plan to aim high.
The suggestions on this list range from the seemingly impossible
to the downright utopian, and may have you shaking your head in disbelief. But
with a little determination and a dash of courage, you can transform 2021 into
the year of your dreams.
1. Perfect your routine
Do you often feel as though there just aren’t enough hours
in the day for everything that needs doing? Join the club!
Some people like to timetable every minute of every hour of
every day in an attempt to squeeze in their entire to-do list, but for most of
us, this just isn’t realistic. So don’t feel bad if you can’t manage it – Rome
wasn’t built in a day, nor was it done all at once.
Find a way to break down your most dreaded tasks into ten-minute
chunks that can be handled throughout the week, rather than letting them
pile up over time. This approach will help your to-do list feel more manageable
and spare you afternoons lost to household chores and life admin.
2. Learn something new
This is a common resolution that most of us have made at
least once in our lives.
Perhaps you have always wanted to learn to speak French,
play the piano or crochet, but never found the time. Whatever it is, you may be
put off by the thought of starting on your own as we enter another lockdown and
formal lessons are out of the question.
But there has never been a better time in history for the
autodidact, with a wealth of tools available online to teach yourself just
about anything. From YouTube to Wikihow, amongst countless
other resources, getting started is as simple as a quick Google search.
3. Move abroad
Ok, it might sound like an outlandish pipe dream. But why
not?
After being stranded at home for so long, what better way to
make up for lost time than to up sticks and discover a new country?
You could relocate to just about anywhere, but one of the
most popular spots right now is Portugal, whose Golden Visa program welcomes
investors from all over the world. Applicants can qualify for the scheme for
around €280,000, and a quick glance at Property
Lisbon’s stunning portfolio reveals why the scheme is so appealing.
Wherever you go, moving to a new country is a refreshing,
once-in-a-lifetime experience that can open doors.
No matter what your impossible dreams are for 2021, don’t be
afraid to aim high!
