If you like, share !

Every beginning of the year sounds the hour of good resolutions, this moment when we decide on big changes that will allow us to have a better year... A short review of the 15 resolutions easy to keep, for a year 2023 under the sign of positivity.

-

Strive to stay positive

At the dawn of 2023, the priority is obviously more than ever to take care of yourself, and his loved ones… Our mental health has suffered in recent years, so choosing to move forward is fundamental. For stay positive in all circumstances, nothing better than the method of autosuggestion, whose father is none other thanEmile Coue. Because it is clear that we are what we think! And what we think, we become… Are you about to say or do something that could potentially make you mope? Stop. We reformulate the obstacle that we encounter and we try to bring it the most constructive solution possible.

-

Be less hard on yourself

Don't be demoralized by the injunctions to perfection that society constantly dictates to us… Keep in mind that you can't achieve everything and always be on top! So this quest for “always more”, put an end to it and you will feel more at peace… There is also no need to dwell on the mistakes of the past because what is done is done. Immerse yourself totally in the present, put the intensity you want into it and above all, enjoy !

-

Cultivate

After all, the arts is a drug to be consumed without moderation… So, we try to get at least one exhibition per month, a rather easy goal to achieve. Here are all the exhibitions of the moment. The good idea? Subscribe to Passlib, the city's official city pass for access to the capital's main attractions.

-

Sort out your cupboards

Getting your dressing room in order will only do you good. In addition to gaining space, it will allow you to see more clearly to compose your outfits of the day. To do this, we recommend the Marie Kondo method. Very effective, it has gained a lot of visibility during the confinements of recent years. During your big sorting, prepare a small pile to give away. You can then organize a empty-dressing room with girlfriends and exchange your clothes or donate them to associations that redistribute to people in need: Emmaüs, Secours Populaire, the Red Cross, La Balade des Lucioles... 

The last option? Sell ​​on Vinted ou Vestiaire Collective for the most luxurious rooms.

-

Read good books

In addition to helping us disconnect, reading would make emphatic, promote sleep and would considerably reduce stress and the risk of Alzheimer's. So these books in the library that are only used for decorative purposes, we finally discover them for our 2023 resolutions! Here are the ones we recommend: Your second life begins when you realize you only have one by Raphaëlle Giordano, who are " The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle et « Positive Thinking: How to Achieve Your Goals and Live a Positive Life Through the Power of Thought” by Marcello Borelli.

-

Forcing yourself to disconnect from your smartphone

According to a recent study, we spend an average of 1h42 a day on our smartphones. Reported to a year, that's 620 hours, or almost 26 days! A shame when you know that there are so many more interesting things to see and do than scrolling through your Instagram feed... We therefore advise you to give yourself a little " digital detox " sometimes. Set up a time alert on your social networks and set yourself a small, easy-to-achieve goal, first: 1 day per month then ideally 1 day per week. You will see that real life is much more enjoyable than virtual!

-

Organize a festive evening at least once a month

With our lives at 100 an hour, we easily let ourselves be carried away by the wave, gradually abandoning our romantic evenings or the girls' nights which we so badly need. As a result, we set ourselves the objective of organizing at least one per month. Find out here the best festive restaurants et the best experiences to live with your +1.

-

Consuming eco-responsibly (in all areas)

You know the song, the biggest challenge now is to apply it! This year, we therefore promise ourselves to buy better – choose greener products – consume better, i.e. waste less and have more sustainable consumption, engage in recycling, ban brands of fast-fashion (SHEIN, Primark, etc.), focus on quality to the quantity, buy second hand… One thing is certain, if everyone does their part, the planet will be better off!

Getting (finally!) on a bike 

There are a million good reasons to get on a bike. Already because it is ecological industrial printing process but also because it will allow you to do some sport and keep you healthy. Then it's economical! Imagine the savings you can make by swapping your navigo subscription (which has increased significantly this year!) for a subscription velib ou veligo. The alternative ? Get yourself a nice bike. This way, you'll never come to the office in a bad mood again!

First of all, because it relaxes and at the end of the session you perfect your skills since you learn something. Discover here our best workshops.

Set aside a little weekend to break away from everyday life 

Whether a staycation (so in a hotel in Paris or your city of residence) or around Paris, we have selected for you the best hotels to break the routine.

-

Set achievable and measurable goals

Your goals must absolutely be realistic, and precisely measurable ! “I want to succeed professionally” is not an objective. When will you know you've succeeded? When did you get a promotion? A raise ? How much? Be precise. And if the effort seems considerable, such as losing 10 kilos, or training for several years, set yourself sub-objectives because each level reached boosts motivation !

-

Be (more) lenient

Reassure the critical part of your psyche, which is milling internally. A journey of 10000 km begins with one step. It is this step that will establish the virtuous circle of a new good habit, the emergence of a better version of yourself...
