With the New Year being two weeks away, many of us have begun the tradition of writing down our new year resolutions and goals. What will the new year bring for you? What do you plan on doing differently to have a more successful and memorable year? These are all questions we ask ourselves in hopes of becoming a better person each year—but why wait until a new year (or in this instance, a new decade) to change for the greater good?!
It’s never too early to break bad habits and become a better you! Having a clear and organized plan ahead of what you are wanting to change and make better for yourself is the key to being successful in your new year resolution journey. We know how difficult it can be to break bad habits—so we’re giving you a list of 25 habits you should be leaving behind in 2019, but of course it’s never too early to start now!
