Then your New Year\u2019s resolution could be to invest more time into learning something new. Define specific goals that you can definitely reach. The VHS (adult education centres in Austria) offer language courses or further training. You can attend dance classes or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stuwo.at\/en\/blog\/usi-courses-vienna\/\">try new types of sports<\/a> at the university sports institute.<\/p>\n<h4>15. Be brave<\/h4>\n<p>How often can you challenge yourself in the new year? In which areas of your life can you move out of your <strong>comfort zone<\/strong>? Identify challenging situations and take a leap of faith. A blind date, skydiving, making <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stuwo.at\/en\/blog\/how-to-make-friends-at-university\/\">new friends at university<\/a>, solo traveling into an unknown country or a roller-coaster ride could be ideas for being braver in the new year.<\/p>\n<h4>16. Hobbies and free time<\/h4>\n<p>Leisure time and time for hobbies can be neglected, especially in hectic everyday life. Make time for fun and relaxation. Playing soccer with friends at the weekend, taking a dance class once a week or spending half an hour in the evening <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stuwo.at\/en\/blog\/books-for-students\/\">reading<\/a>, listening to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stuwo.at\/en\/blog\/podcasts-for-students\/\">podcasts<\/a>, knitting or playing computer games.

There is a psychological dynamic behind it: Because in times of <strong>upheaval and big changes<\/strong>, such as the turn of the year, our brains are tempted to take this momentum with us!<\/p>\n<p>However, many people give up in the first week and hardly anyone makes it through the whole year. Why is that? Our <strong>brain is the reason<\/strong>, because we make New Year&#8217;s resolutions with the prefrontal cortex, where our willpower, ability to concentrate and memory are located. In stressful times or when we have a lot to do, our prefrontal cortex is busy and saves energy by dropping New Year&#8217;s resolutions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.

That&#8217;s why we&#8217;ve put together some tips that you can easily implement step by step. It&#8217;s sure to work!<\/p>\n<h3>1. Set realistic goals<\/h3>\n<p>If you set yourself goals that are too big, too vague and too unrealistic, you can quickly lose motivation. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s important to set small goals, especially in the beginning. You should also focus on a maximum of a few New Year&#8217;s resolutions, as too many changes at the same time can quickly overwhelm you. Decide on <strong>3-5 resolutions<\/strong> that are particularly important to you and determine what exactly your goal is.<\/p>\n<p>The SMART method is a great strategy for setting specific goals. You set <strong>s<\/strong>pecific, <strong>m<\/strong>easurable, <strong>a<\/strong>ttractive, <strong>r<\/strong>ealistic and <strong>t<\/strong>erminated goals. This means that you clearly define your goals, set interim goals, make sticking to your plan attractive, adapt a realistic plan and set a deadline. Here is an extensive article on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stuwo.at\/en\/blog\/smart-goal-method\/\">smart method<\/a>!<\/p>\n<h3>2. Make a plan<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;<strong>Planning is half the battle<\/strong>&#8221; and this also applies to your New Year&#8217;s resolutions. With a concrete plan, you can set yourself interim goals and incorporate the implementation of your resolutions into your everyday life. Think about <strong>when and how often<\/strong> you want to work on your New Year&#8217;s resolutions. It&#8217;s best to write your plan down and hang it up where you&#8217;ll always see it. This will help you to keep track of your plan.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Implement your plans<\/h3>\n<p>With your concrete plan, you are well equipped to implement your New Year&#8217;s resolutions. Implementing them in everyday life is often the biggest challenge, as appointments get in the way, deadlines stress you out or you forget your resolutions. Therefore, think in advance about what <strong>problems<\/strong> may arise so that you are prepared for them.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Be proud of yourself!<\/h3>\n<p>The fact that you have resolved to improve yourself or your life is already a reason to be proud of yourself. The more often you <strong>celebrate yourself<\/strong> or remind yourself of how positive your efforts are, the more motivated you will be to persevere and keep trying.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='hr av-67ddri-22-8f2b84555435b16a379537b7953c125c hr-short  avia-builder-el-39  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  hr-center'><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-60022e-8-6d16c1499bfe20e828032dd7eb6568d3 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2 id=\"New Year, New Me: Let your wishes and dreams come true with the perfect strategy\">New Year, New Me: Let your wishes and dreams come true with the perfect strategy<\/h2>\n<p>Healthier living, less stress, new financial plans, personal development or social commitment \u2013 choose a few New Year&#8217;s resolutions, plan their implementation and seek support in realizing your resolutions.
