10 Romantic Gifts for Boyfriend on New Year Day and 3 Important New Year's Resolutions to Make with Him to Welcome 2019

A whole year has gone by and it is that time of the year again when we wonder about how so much time went by and reflect on all that happened in the past 365 days or so. It is also a time when we look forward to the coming year which promises to be a new beginning and ignites a hope in us all, for a better future. It is a time when there are joy, love and happiness all around; people meet up with family, old friends and even strangers greet each other with smiles. New Year’s Eve is certainly an occasion that demands a celebration fit for it!

One of the most exciting yet tiring parts of the New Year’s eve is the resolutions that we all strive to make for the coming year. We all try to find some habit or thing that is causing us more harm than good and let it go or we try to inculcate a good habit or routine in our lives.

Many people prioritise health and resolve to exercise daily or eat right while others might resolve to take up a new hobby or give up a bad habit like getting angry at the drop of a hat. Whatever your goals might be, there are certain resolutions that we all can make and benefit a whole lot from them. Below, we have listed the top 3 resolutions that we all must strive to make this year.

This is absolutely important and is very detrimental to your success in life, relationships and everything in general. You need to let go of the past; whatever, it might have been – the pain, rejections, failures or even loss of someone you loved. Carrying the burden of the past will only make the journey further more tiresome and will not let you enjoy the beautiful days to come!

This is one resolution that all of us should make for our own good. It is essential to understand that our happiness doesn’t depend on any particular person, situation or thing. It is a state of mind that we are ourselves capable enough to achieve. And choosing to stay happy is a choice that we should all make proactively every second of our lives. This will also significantly contribute to happiness and satisfaction in all spheres of our life – personal, professional and more.

If you are able to achieve the above two then the final thing you need to do is to start living in the present. Don’t think about the past and don’t worry too much about what the future holds for you. Let some things and people just be the way they are and enjoy every moment that you get to live with full energy and joy. You will find that many things and issues will get sorted themselves and things will fall in place. Just give everything some time and live in the present moment.
