A new year means a fresh start for most people. This entails reflecting what occurred in the past year, getting a new planner, and writing down resolutions for the year. This 2022, we recommend adopting these 10 habits to have a brighter, happier, and successful year ahead.
Try Out a Gratitude Journal
Having a gratitude journal improves overall wellbeing. Take 5 minutes in the morning or evening of your day and list down a few things you are grateful for. This could be mundane things such as watching the sunset or eating your favorite cookie. Doing this daily would improve overall mood, increase self-esteem, and help you sleep better at night.

Do 10-Minute Daily Meditations
Meditation, a practice done by Hindus and Buddhists, is adapted by billions of people worldwide due to its wonderful benefits for the brain and overall well being of a person. Some benefits of meditating include relieving stress, reducing anxiety, and having peace of mind.
To start meditating, make sure you are in a comfortable and quiet space. Begin by closing the eyes, calming the mind, and focusing on the breath. When we meditate, we want to cultivate a sense of awareness and to focus on the present moment.
