Original New Year’s resolutions
The new year is a perfect opportunity to set new resolutions and embark on exciting adventures. So if you’re looking for ideas for 2023 New Year’s resolutions, here are some options that might be perfect for you.
Go on an unforgettable trip
If you are a person who likes adventure and travelling, one way to fulfil a New Year’s resolution is to plan a trip for the end of the year. It’s a nice way to say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new one.
In addition, another great New Year’s resolution can be to do it alone if you haven’t done it yet or want to do it again. This kind of experience can boost your confidence and make you change the way you think about things.
Whether you seek this experience for pleasure or to find inspiration… Travelling alone can become a healing experience and an inward journey.
Read more books
The year has 4 quarters, so if you like reading, you can set yourself the goal of reading one good book every three month. That will give you time to read at least 4 books in a year.
Also, if you are an adventurous person, but don’t have the means to do the trips you want to do, reading makes you travel without leaving home. It’s the perfect way to fulfil your New Year’s resolution, while at the same time enriching yourself intellectually.
Use your mobile phone less
Technology has trapped us all and it feels almost impossible to leave the house without a mobile phone nowadays. We also tend to check it all the time which can easily distract us from the real world and take us away from the people we are close to.
A good way to connect with others would be to disconnect from your mobile phone at certain times, avoiding to use it or even leaving it in a different room. Reducing your mobile phone usage during leisure times might lead to more full enjoyment of what everyday life has to offer, marvelling at beautiful landscapes, experiencing unique moments with your friends and family.
Go Skydiving
One of your New Year’s resolutions can be to jump out of a perfectly functioning airplane, an amazing and unique experience which will make you feel alive. We know many people are curious about it but don’t do it… and when they finally end up doing the skydive, they usually say “Why haven’t I done this before!” Don’t wait that long, make it your 2023 New Year’s resolution.
At iJump we are skydiving experts, offering a unique free fall experience over the beautiful island Gran Canaria.
Learning to appreciate the little things
Make it your New Year’s resolution to learn to enjoy the little things. With all that we have been through with this pandemic, everything has become total chaos.
So much time in quarantine has led us to be grumpier and more sceptical, leaving aside to appreciate the little things in life. It is the best time to ask yourself if you enjoy and appreciate everything enough. If not, make practicing mindfulness your New Year’s resolution.
Doing more sport or physical activities
We must not forget that doing sports or physical activities is a way of taking care of our physical and mental health. If you live in the Canary Islands, you can make regular hiking in the beautiful mountain landscapes your New Year’s Resolution. Here is a beautiful route to get you started, hiking to the Pico de las Nieves.
Playing sport strengthens self-esteem by nurturing virtues such as endurance, perseverance and stamina, and fosters values such as respect and companionship.
Showing more love and being grateful
We tend to show love only on special occasions, but saying “I love you” is a gesture that makes people feel valued. Get closer to your loved ones and tell them that you love them. It is too late when they are no longer here.
Besides, being grateful for what you have brings good energy and more happiness into your life. Be thankful for the simple things around you, like eating, sharing time with friends and family, for your job, your house, your clothes, be thankful for everything. This is a great New Year’s resolution and a magnet for good things to come into your life.
Managing money better
This New Year’s resolution may be ordinary, but this year you’re going to do it! Instead of spending money on things you don’t need, you save it. By the end of the year you will see that you have enough savings to fulfil any dreams you want to cross off your list for next years New Year’s resolutions. Think longterm.
Learning an extreme sport
Do you like exciting and challenging sports? The New Year is a good opportunity to learn an extreme sport, such as paragliding, motor cross or surfing.
If you don’t have the time to dedicate to a consistent sport, do an extreme activity that you can do without any lengthy practice, such as tandem skydiving and experience a thrilling fall.
