So get ready, shoot your will power high and make sure you strictly adhere to your self-commitments: 

1.       Eat healthy: There is an old quote which says, “A healthy body is a healthy mind”. True that. Body is the most important thing to pay attention to and everything here starts with food. So, start paying attention to your diet. This New Year, increase consumption of vegetables (especially organic food & raw vegetables), drink plenty of water, minimise junk food, limit sweets etc., are some of the ways in which you can control your calories and provide essentials components to your body.

Well, to be precise, no matter what your age or shape you are in now, exercise is a must. Regular exercising will strengthen your muscles, keep your bones strong, improve skin texture, make you energetic and active, provide good sleep and lot more! So hit a Gym or simply jog in morning. It will not only tone your body so you can wear your favourite LBD but also provide long lasting health benefits.

3.       Drink plenty of water: Since our childhood we have been taught that our body is composed of about 60% water. More the water requirement and so more should be our consumption rate. So how many glasses do you have in a day? You must know that drinking 8-10 glasses or say 2-3 litres of water daily is must for human body. Good water intake ensures proper digestion, flushes and keeps kidneys healthy, keeps body hydrated, burns calories & fats, makes skin and hair healthy and also provides many other benefits. So make sure take enough water daily you stay hydrated every time.

4.       Quit Smoking: Do you know that a chain smoker is prone to develop serious diseases such as cancer, diabetes etc. and also reduce his life span with every cigarette? Yes, with every puff that you inhale, you cut down a few more minutes from your life. Smoking deteriorate lungs and highly affects the respiratory system making way for severe diseases like Bronchitis, Asthma, Lung cancer and more. So this New Year pledge to quit smoking and also avoid second hand smoking if ever you get in contact of a smoker. 

5.       Limit Alcohol consumption: So do you remember how many drinks you had during this New Year party? Are you clearly aware about the harmful results of drinking? Experts say that consistent use of alcohol over time can lead to a significant number of chronic diseases and neurological problems such as dementia and stroke, cardiovascular impairments like increased blood pressure and heart attack, psychiatric problems like depression and anxiety and more.  Drinking occasionally is fine but don’t bring it in your daily routine. Also try consuming healthy drinks like Red wine which is good for heart rather than the ones which damage your liver brutally.

6.       Get proper sleep: Are you the one who enjoy late night daily soaps? Or just stay awake to enjoy cash back on internet as given by telecom operators? Well, think again. Do you know that an early and long undisputed sleep can do wonders for your body, mood and most importantly appearance? It can also increase memory and sharpen your thought process. While on the other hand lack of sleep has been linked to high risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes. So this new year, make sure you go to bed early and also wake up early. Also take a nap while back from office and don’t feel guilty about it!

7. Meditation: Originated in 1500 BC, meditation even today is a powerful way towards achieving physical and mental fitness. Regular meditation helps in maintaining blood pressure, reduces anxiety attacks and decreases tension-related pain such as headaches, ulcers, insomnia, muscle and joint problems. Further, if you are fond of any creative activity, then meditation will enhance and boost your creative skills and also improve concentration. Thus, making you happy and contented towards life. So take out few minutes every morning or night and practice serious meditation. 

8. Control Anger: Are you short tempered? Or do you get easily irritable? Well, Honor Society of Nursing (STTI) once answered on anger control. They said that controlling anger will make you feel mentally controlled and de-stressed. Apart of a better professional life, you can experience improvements in personal relationships too. So, increase your self control, minimise your anger, count till 10, laugh, change your mood and find out what makes you happy and follow it. Further, make it a point to feel better and use your anger constructively during times of stress. 

9. Remain stress free: Low on energy, prolonged sadness, over eating or under eating and high level of irritation are some common symptoms of stress. Stress can affect you at any age and has to be identified quickly before it turns into depression. So this new year, promise yourself to remain stress free. Morning exercise, meditation, giving time for a hobby, eating healthy and avoiding liquor and smoke can help you in keeping away from stress. With low stress, you can feel like a whole new person, happy, relaxed and high on efficiency. So remain stress free and enjoy every bit of your time!

10.   Stay happy & love yourself: Are you the one who wakes up smilingly and ends day with happiness and a sense of accomplishment? We must know how important it is to feel and stay happy. There is no fixed mantra which will make you happy; in fact it is something that comes from within. Play with a child, help someone in need, dress well, love yourself, travel somewhere, do one thing good for the world and one for self or take up an activity which connects you with happiness and joy. Thus, love yourself and make sure you feel joyful and contended. Remember, a happy heart, fresh mind and healthy body will require few or no medicines in later stages of life!
