Everyone generally is looking to make the upcoming New Year more positive but especially so this year. 2020 was a hard year for so many reasons! Covid swept the world, causing disruption to jobs, home and for some, unfortunately, have gone through a divorce process explained. But with the near year, vaccines being rolled out, 2021 is looking positive with a light at the end of the tunnel. To make 2021 your year, I have put together four things to do to be more positive.
Exercise
With lockdowns happening, it is more important now than ever to make sure you are regularly getting out of your property and exercising. It doesn’t matter what type of exercise you do, as long as you are getting active and increasing your heart rate. Not only that, but exercising is good for your mental health and is a good way to have a break from your everyday stresses at work or at home. Why not take up running and attempt the couch to 5k if you haven’t tried it before.

If you find yourself having been more negative last year, you are not alone. Plenty of people will have been doing the same as you. But, this year it’s time to get back to your normal self and be more positive. When you wake up, try and think of five things that are going well in your life and that you are grateful for. When you see your friend and family ask them to do the same. Positivity is infectious and the more you are to the people around you the more positive they will be back.
