As we move into 2019, most of us are taking the time to evaluate the last year and deciding where we excelled and where we could improve. If you’re doing the same, now’s the time to consider how you can upgrade your life and ensure that 2019 is your best year yet.
Here’s how you can get more out of life in 2019:
Take more time off
This may sound counter-intuitive- especially if you’re hoping to make big strides in your career in 2019, however taking the time to rest and recharge will actually help you be more focused, increase your productivity, and avoid burnout. That’s why now is also the time to plan your holidays. Work out how you can make the most of your holiday days, and ensure you have a few long weekends to look forward to, and at least one big trip from Loveholidays.
This is a great way to find all-inclusive hotels, which is (in my opinion) the best way to truly relax on holiday. All-inclusive means you can get on with enjoying yourself, without constantly putting your hand in your pocket every day. The Loveholidays hotel finder is interactive, and you simply enter a destination to see a list of the best hotels in each particular area.
You can then narrow down your search based on ratings, price, the type of holiday you’re looking for (spa, luxury, family, or couples), and more. One of the most stressful parts of going on holiday is choosing your accommodation, and this holiday finder makes it easy.
Find a new hobby
Most of us have at least one hobby that we’ve always wanted to try. Maybe you’d like to learn a language, write a book, or try salsa dancing. Perhaps you’ve always wanted to do a martial art, take a cooking class, or learn to paint. Whatever it is, hobbies help you have something fun to focus on, and they encourage you to think more creatively. Do yourself a favor and commit to finally beginning your new hobby in 2019.
Make more time for yourself
This tip goes hand-in-hand with the ones above, however this should be an everyday thing. When you’re working, you have kids, and you’re juggling the needs of your partner, family, friends, and work commitments, it can seem like you never have time for yourself. Whether you need to get up early to take a walk before the morning chaos, spend some time lounging in the bath after the kids have gone to bed, or simply read a book in a quiet cafe alone, make sure you’re including enough ‘me time’ throughout the week so you can hold onto your sanity.
Get more sleep
None of us are at our best when we’re sleep deprived, and yet a large chunk of the population is operating on too little sleep. If this sounds like you, make a conscious effort to get more Zs in 2019. That may mean going to bed early, removing any screens from the bedroom, or coming up with a nighttime routine that works for you.
