NEW YEAR, NEW YOU!

HELLO! SHOWS YOU HOW TO BEGIN A BRAND NEW YEAR AROUND THE SUN, WITH 10 TIPS TO BE THE BEST VERSION OF YOURSELF

- JEENA J BILLIMORIA

Each year, millions of people make New Year's resolutions, hoping to spark positive change in their lives. To do better, be better and 2024 is no different. When you set goals, you're making a promise to yourself and your dreams, creating a structure that keeps you on track and fairly motivated. HELLO! sheds light on the things you should attempt, stat!

1. RESET YOUR MIND

Take yourself to a yoga retreat for a few days so you can completely isolate from daily life and connect with yourself in a beautiful way. If you don't have time for a quick yogic escape, download an app and carve out 30 minutes a day to practice. Along with calming your mind, your flexibility and mobility will also drastically improve so look who's winning!

2. CHALLENGE YOURSELF PHYSICALLY

here's nothing like a good challenge to get yourself going and the start of a new year is probably the best time to do it, seeing as you're at your most optimistic (and energetic). The goal can be prepping for a marathon, a cycle race, getting to base camp or even a fitness challenge. The idea is to push yourself out of your comfort zone and prove that you can do what you set your mind to.

3. TAKE UP A NEW SPORT

Any sport is fun and helps massively with stress relief and boosting that feel-good rush of endorphins. Padel is a new trend that has everyone battling to get a slot to play-but tennis or squash will do just fine, too! It's about going the extra mile and teaching yourself something brand new...
