As everyone goes into the New Year
with high hopes and resolutions to be better versions of themselves, here are
some tips to help you become a better person.
To have a successful, productive and
fabulous year, you might need to drop some habits and pick up new ones.
Here are 7 tips that will help you
in 2017.
1. Stop procrastinating
Virtually everyone is guilty of
this, irrespective of age group. Procrastination is a deep grave where
destinies are buried.
In 2017, be more assertive and
prompt with whatever decision you make.
You plan to take fitness classes? Go
for it. You want to learn how to drive? Don’t procrastinate. Do it.
2. Get off social media… live a little
Smartphones, gadgets, social media
and the internet control the world’s attention and Nigeria is no exception
In the coming year, look for other
hobbies/interests that would help develop your skills.
Away from social media, you can use
your free time to add value to yourself in many ways.
3. Be positive; compliment yourself
Compliment yourself occasionally for
the great things you do rather than constantly worrying about your
shortcomings.
See the good in yourself, have a
sense of purpose and keep your dreams alive; and above all, do a daily
evaluation of your life.
4. Stop using ‘busy’ to ignore
everyone
In the coming year, no matter how
busy you may be, create time for your loved ones. Don’t let your job take their
place; they would always be there when the job is no more.
In 2017, reply their text messages
and pick up their calls.
5. Don’t compare yourself with
others
Life is in phases and where you are
at the moment was once experienced by others, so, don’t compare your life with
theirs.
Focus on yourself, believe in your
potentials and don’t hate on anyone’s pace.
6. Don’t overwork yourself
Money must be made but that doesn’t
mean you have to overstretch yourself all the time.
Try your best to find a balance
between work and life.
7. You aren’t always right
Take corrections in love in 2017.
They’ll take you far.
When you’re corrected, heed to
corrections and accept responsibility for your actions.
