Making & Sticking To Your New Year’s Resolution As A Couple – H&S Love Affair

How To Make & Stick To Your New Year’s Resolution(s) This 2020, As A Couple!

So 2019 is almost coming to an end and even though as a couple, whether this year may or may not have been your year, be positive and believe that 2020 will be your year! But before we head into 2020 you probably are thinking of what resolutions to make as a couple. There’s no point of making a list of unrealistic resolutions & then figuring out halfway into the new year that you are not going to be able to fulfil all the resolutions you made. You can even start with just one resolution by asking each other what is it that you want to achieve as a couple this 2020? Whatever it is you both have in mind, here are 3 tips to help you make and stick to your New Year’s resolution(s) & a list of our top 7 resolutions for a healthy relationship this 2020!

3 Tips To Keep In Mind Whilst Preparing Your New Year’s Resolution(s): 

1. Keep Your Resolution(s) Realistic– If you are planning to have more than 1 it’s better you keep it simple, something you will be able to stick to. For example ‘this New year we will practice forgiveness & gratitude more often’.

2. Pick The Date & Stick To It- When do you as a couple intend to start transforming your resolutions from pen and paper to practicality? Once you pick the date you want to start, make sure you both stick to it! There’s no point saying we will start this from February and then one has started and the other hasn’t.

3. Be Open To Failure- Remember every task in life comes with a possibility of failure. It doesn’t mean you stop, it just means you keep trying over and over until you succeed. Even with a resolution such as ‘we want to practice more forgiveness’, there may be times when both of your patience might be tested and either or both of you may not be able to keep to it. Just learn from the setbacks and push each other to do better!
