RESOLUTIONS: Now that we’re in the new year, let’s talk about resolutions. Did you make any?

Parade.com had a list of some resolutions to try this year, with a different outlook.

For body positivity, focus on a passion not the way you look. Work out to feel good, not be thinner.

For a more positive outlook, stop gossiping and spread positivity. Give at least one compliment a day.

Go a whole day without checking your email. Turn off your phone one night a week.

Do random acts of kindness. Write down one thing you’re grateful for each night. Talk to yourself with kindness.

Read a book a month. Keep a journal.

Go someplace you’ve never been — it doesn’t have to be far away, just step out of your comfort zone and do something a little daring, learn something new. Travel on a small budget.

Don’t buy things you don’t need. Donate clothes you don’t wear.

Let go of grudges. Avoid people who complain a lot. Remove negativity or anything that makes you feel lousy.

Stay in touch with the people who matter.

Start a new hobby.

Pay it forward.

Talk less, listen more.

Write down your goals. Committing goals to paper makes you more likely to achieve them.

Stretch. People today spend a lot of time sitting in front of computers, or hunched over cell phones. Loosen up those tight muscles with a few minutes of stretching every day.

Aim to start and end each day with happiness and gratitude.
