As Nicola Alpe writes, “New Year's resolutions are universally loathed. Even the best of intentions are often ditched by February”.

But Alpe’s list of resolutions could really make a difference in our everyday life.

Go to bed earlier - enough sleep would keep us from becoming dehydrated and zombie-like.

Get up earlier - this is possible by implementing the first one. It will allow time for some personal space, like writing a journal, meditating, doing some yoga.

Be of service - especially now, in this time of physical distancing and anxiety. Have a chat with an elderly neighbour over your fence, with your mask on. Or try some voluntary work. There is a lot of need right now and your action could be precious.

Get outside - Nature being your first ally when it comes to mood and for putting thing in perspective.

Be content - even in the midst of growing practical problems, there are blessings around you to be grateful of.
