The new year is a time for fresh starts and resolutions. It can be difficult to come up with new resolutions, but we've got 5 ideas that will help you make the most of this New Year. So give them a try, and see how it goes.

New Year's Resolutions: 5 Unique Ideas

1.  Seriously Healthy You

How about trying to take your health more seriously in the new year? The first step is figuring out where you're starting from. What's good for you now, and what isn't working so well. This includes everything from how much sleep you need at night to what types of food you should eat more or less of. Once you know these things about yourself, you can start making changes with a better idea of why they matter and why they'll work. Start small when making resolutions around health. Think one change every few weeks instead of several all at once.

2.  Future Savings

You could also think about saving and investing for your future in the new year. It's never too early to start thinking about how you'll support yourself financially when you're older, so why not try getting a jump on it now? First, take account of what money is coming in versus going out. Are there any trends that might mean changes are needed? If this doesn't feel like enough steps towards planning ahead, then consider taking up some extra work or working part-time to strengthen your savings plan.

3.  Bonding More

Trying something different with family members can be good if everyone agrees. Do something fun together every week. Go hiking, visit local museums, and play games at home. Anything goes here as long as it leads to conversation and catching up with each other. Every family is unique, so think about what works best for yours and then go do it.

4.  Broaden Your Horizons

Why not try making plans to travel somewhere new every month of the year? There are many places that will still be warm (or cool) enough to visit in January or February if you plan ahead, like Australia and Asia. There's no shortage of ideas out there. Not only does this mean an exciting trip every few weeks without having to take lots of time off work. But also gives everyone something fun to look forward to as the weather gets colder at home. Of course, it might feel like a big expense before starting out. Still, it can quickly become much more affordable when planned correctly through hostels & AirBnB accommodation options.

5.  Renovate Your Home

Not everyone has a huge budget to renovate their home at a drop of a hat. How about only focusing on one room this year and changing one aspect of the room a month. You can even cut costs by putting in your own sweat equity too. If you are stomped on what to do in a room, like a kitchen. Do your research and look up Creative Design Kitchens to get those brain matter going. Start your first month with planning and budgeting. Be on the lookout for specials and bulk buys.
