Just move

No 'losing 15 kgs of weight by March,' or hitting the gym everyday, rather promise yourself to move everyday (to start off with) - no fancy exercises, just some walking, stretching, or even running

Eat more protein

Yes, eating more protein is a legit resolution. Wondering how you will achieve this? Simple - include protein in every meal you consume - breakfast, lunch and dinner

Reduce your drinking

If all your plans involve drinking, it spells trouble for you. To start off, reduce your alcohol consumption to no more than 1 drink everyday (if you really have to), and slowly reduce it to 1 each week/month. Or better still, don't drink at all!

Limit your junk

No, you do not have to give up junk food altogether. Instead, limit it to no more than once a couple of weeks, or months. If eating out, choose whole foods, and skip the cheesy delights and sauces

Get some sun everyday

Apart from helping you make Vitamin D, the sun also helps alleviate feelings of anxiety and depression (apart from meds) Get in some sunlight each morning - as feeble as it might be in the cold months

Meditate (even if for 10 minutes)

You do not have to turn into a monk for your inner peace. Simply taking out 10 minutes each morning is enough - spend some time with your thoughts alone, and shut out the outer noises

Start journaling

Good, bad, or downright ugly - writing about your day, thoughts, and just feelings in general, is a great tool to help you unwind after a long day

Drink enough water

Hardly sounds like a resolution, right? However, most of us drink far less water than we should, which is the root of all our problems. Drink more water (keep a bottle handy)
