Some people make New Year’s resolutions a personal affair, but it shouldn’t be so. Instead, they should make it a family business and get everyone involved, from planning to execution. Making and keeping New Year’s resolutions as a family will help to motivate and encourage each family member, as well as strengthen the family bond by bringing you together.
Top 5 New Year’s Resolutions for Families
Here are the top five New Year’s resolutions for families you should make and keep in 2023:
Volunteer
Always volunteer to do something or offer to do something voluntarily because there’s more to it. Volunteering can benefit you and your family in many ways: you’ll share your talents, learn new skills, feel part of your community and better about yourself, and be fulfilled. You don’t have to volunteer to do complex tasks before you start helping people out without asking for anything in return. You can volunteer at a nearby nursing home, at a local meal service, or in community parks. You might not see your impact immediately, but people will continue to feel it, even for years to come.
Learn a New Language
Start learning a new language if you just visited a new country or are still planning a trip there. Sometimes, people live in a certain country where they don’t speak the language, but they aren’t interested in learning it. At other times, they’re planning a visit, but language is a barrier. If you fall into any of these categories, then this is the time to start learning the language of such a country to help you communicate and integrate better with its people.
Exercise Together
Your health might be at risk if you live a sedentary lifestyle due to the nature of your job or the exigencies of life. Fortunately, you can achieve a better work-life balance by exercising with your family. Have a dance contest, go on a scavenger hunt, or bicycle through the park as a family instead of going to the gym alone. Get even more creative with your resolve to exercise in the new year by having a family member suggest an activity every week.
Practice More Gratitude
You aren’t doing yourself any good when you’re ungrateful because you’ll feel bitter and have low self-esteem. You’ll also be full of greed and covetousness and won’t be able to see anything good in something. Nonetheless, your self-esteem will improve if you’re always thankful to people when they do you a favor. You’ll also attract more favors and be more generous, forgiving, and even happier. So, you and your family should make it a point of duty to always express gratitude in the new year, even for little favors.
Maintain Your Plumbing
Last but not least, maintain your home’s plumbing. It’s a good idea for your family to make a solemn vow to keep your house plumbing working and in good condition always, even beyond the new year. Ensure that the pipes, joints, tanks, stopcocks, taps, and other fixtures of the water, gas, or sewage systems in your house are at their best at all times. Always seek professional help whenever you experience any plumbing issues in your house. Otherwise, the situation can be uncomfortable, and you risk spending more money on repairs and replacements if you allow the problem to get worse.
Volunteering, learning a new language, exercising together, practicing more gratitude, and maintaining your plumbing are the top five New Year’s resolutions for families you should make and keep if you want to achieve more as a family.
