Start the year off right!
We all set goals when the new year comes along: go to the gym more often, stop eating carbs, stop watching every season of Friends on repeat…you know the drill. But once the middle of January comes along, most of us forget about the goals we were once dedicated to.
But this year is different. We’re here to advise you on your 2018 New Year’s resolutions, guaranteed to make 2018 your best year yet.
Become a planner. As an Aries, chances are you love being spontaneous. While this definitely has its benefits, we recommend that you start the new year off on a different foot.
But planning doesn’t have to be boring. Try getting creative. Have you ever tried bullet journaling? Make 2018 the year of goal setting. As an Aries, you’re super optimistic and energetic. So why not put this energy toward achieving what you’ve always wanted to do? This is your year, so stick to your 2018 New Year’s resolutions and don’t let anything stand in your way.
Revamp your feng shui. Tauruses love traveling and gaining new perspectives, so it’s time to bring those new perspectives to the comfort of your own home. Try redecorating a little, even if it’s just one room.
Adding a new look to your daily life will help spice up your new year. While most people will likely forget about their 2018 New Year’s resolutions by February, your new decor will be there to last. Don’t be scared to step out of your comfort zone and add some pops of color.
Get serious about your goals. Geminis love having fun, so don’t stop doing that. But if you’ve been wanting to fully commit yourself to something, now is the perfect time.
A new year means a new start, so why not go out and do what you’ve always wanted to do? Dare to push yourself out of your comfort zone. No matter what happens, you’ll definitely meet some cool people along the way. Stay true to yourself, and have fun doing it.
Reconnect with old friends. It’s no secret that Cancers have a sentimental side. You love having close emotional bonds with all sorts of people. Even people you just met feel immediately comfortable around you.
Do you have that one friend from high school who always pops up in your newsfeed? If so, now is the perfect time to reconnect. Make your 2018 New Year’s resolutions all about, ironically, the past. Get coffee with the people you didn’t see enough in 2017. Trust us, you won’t regret it.
Take time to reflect inwards. Leos love being in the spotlight. That’s definitely not a bad thing, so keep it up. But don’t forget to take care of yourself.
Check in and see how you’re feeling about any personal problems that may be following you from 2017. Have you ever tried meditating? We highly recommend you try it. Mindfulness brings together your mind, body, and soul, and it will definitely leave you feeling refreshed.
Forget what’s holding you back. As a Virgo, chances are you love thinking things all the way through. You pay attention to even the smallest details in life, and nothing gets past you unnoticed.
But don’t sweat the small stuff. Push yourself to do that one thing you’ve been telling yourself you’re going to do. Because once you set your mind to something, we know you’ll achieve great things.
Take time for yourself. Libras are incredibly social people, and chances are you love keeping everyone around you happy. Friends always turn to you for advice, since you always know just what to say at just the right time.
But don’t forget about what you want. In the new year, we suggest you spend less time worrying about others and more time focused on yourself. Take care of yourself and don’t forget about your health.
Help friends get organized. Scorpios are known to be charming. You have a way with people, and you’re super comfortable in all social situations. Use this skill to help your friends who aren’t as socially savvy.
You’re extremely strong-willed, and this an incredibly admirable quality. We know you’d even make a great wing woman, so why not try setting up some of your friends? They’ll definitely thank you for it.
Be present in the moment. As a Sagittarius, you’re super extroverted and outgoing. You love change, and you’re always finding new ways to spice up your life.
But instead of focusing on what’s next, try just being happy with what you have now. Focus on your current state of being, and even try meditation or mindfulness practices. Start keeping a daily journal; it’ll be fun to look back on later in life.
Decide what’s most important in your life. Capricorns are very ambitious, and you love involving yourself in a variety of activities and commitments.
But be careful of spreading yourself too thin. Pick a few things that you really want to focus your energy on in the new year. Make lists, and see what you find most important. Don’t forget to take time for yourself, and check in mentally with how you’re doing every couple of days.
Do that one thing you’ve always wanted to do. As an Aquarius, you’re extremely curious. Your imagination is part of what makes you so unique, and you’re never out of new ideas.
But we want you to channel your inner creativity to one particular area. Have you always wanted to travel to a particular place? Start making plans now. Your 2018 New Year’s resolutions should push you out of your comfort zone. You might be surprised where you end up.
Explore your artistic side. Pisces are super intuitive. You’re extremely compassionate and often governed by your emotions. You love expressing yourself, so why not try a new outlet of expression? Art can be very therapeutic, so if you’re ever feeling stressed, grab a sketchbook. You could even start with journaling. Let the doodles in your notes come to life, and see where your artistry takes you.
Let’s make 2018 the best year ever. We hope these 2018 New Year’s resolutions have inspired you to be the best version of yourself. Let the countdown begin now!
