I don’t make resolutions as such, but a new year is always a time for reflection and considering lifestyle improvements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s what I’m thinking about for 2023…<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
  1. Make sure we’ve fun things planned throughout the year. <\/strong>I always feel a bit flat after Christmas and New Year so it helps to have things to look forward to. More meet ups with local friends we haven’t seen in a while and visits to those who live further afield; more weekend day trips, family meet-ups and BBQs are all on the list. Planning a family holiday would also be great!

  2. Stop sweating the small stuff.<\/strong> I may have said this before, but will keep trying \ud83d\ude42 <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    3. Figure out what direction I want to move in career-wise.<\/strong> I made a few changes last year and want to build on this in 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4. Stop being distracted by social media<\/strong> and not be afraid to mute WhatsApp chats from time-to-time! I want to cut screen time. This is especially pertinent in 2023 as my youngest two had mobile phones for Christmas – lead by example! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    5. Look for more money-saving and making ideas<\/a><\/strong> and shop even smarter to save. My daughters have got more into the saving habit and and are rather excited by the 3.5% interest<\/a> they’re getting. I’ll be encouraging this further in 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
