New Year Resolutions 2020!

Making a new year resolution is very easy; staying committed to them is the difficult part. Most of us give up on our resolutions half-way through the year. Thus, we recommend that your new year resolutions should be something that excite and motivate you. This way, there are higher chances of you completing them. Also, stick to 4-5 small resolutions, or say 3 big ones. Committing yourself to too much does not help in achieving the desired results and leaves you feeling dejected.

  • Ditch the Car, Grab the Cycle

    This year, let your car stay in the parking lot while you commute to work on your cycle. Make a resolution that you will cycle down to your office or college at least 3 days a week. This will result in lower fuel bills, a greener environment and a fitter you!
