There are two kinds of people, people with good intentions and people who don't do it. But left or right, good intentions always come up with a new year. Especially after a year like 2021, it's not that crazy to introduce a few simple good habits.
TIP : Don't make it too difficult for yourself, the circumstances are a bit less easy than usual. That's why here's a list of 20 potential good intentions from which you can probably get a few for a beautiful 2022.

2 - Try something new every month - That could be bungee jumping, learning to surf, but also a new taste of beer or a different color of hair... Read also Finding magic outside your comfort zone - 10 tips

5-Choose a healthier lifestyle - That doesn't have to be difficult either!! Just providing a lot more energy is also very nice, read here: 3 Simple tips to start your day with a lot of energy
6 - Go for those 10,000 footsteps - Or at least for more footsteps. Get some fresh air in between. Take a bike or walk if you don't have to go far somewhere, that already makes a big difference on a daily basis
7 - Start a capsule wardrobe - What is a capsule wardrobe? A capsule wardrobe is a selection of your most favorite and essential pieces of clothing that lasts for a season. Officially, a capsule wardrobe consists of 37 items that hang in your closet for 3 months.

11 - Make photo books - Start easy with a sweet little book likethis one from Hema - €3.50
12 - Hang happy memories - Nothing is as nice as pictures of beautiful memories and lovely people around you. Use a nice changing rack likethis one from Fonq
13 - Keep in touch - Speaking of lovely people, keep those people close with contact as well. You don't have to show up every week, but a small message, card or occasional phone call can do no harm to stay in each other's perception.
14 - Start a new hobby - How about dots? You can easily learn that online at Stipstijl (recommended).
15 - Cook at least one new dish every week - That's super easy with Hello Fresh, a must if you want to discover new meals every week! Greek salad with chicken thigh is one of my favorite Hello Fresh recipes.
16 - Read more books - Discover new, fun books here
17 - Drink less alcohol - This is a good resolution for so many reasons.
18 - Always take the stairs - In addition to an escalator you will often find a 'real staircase' and an elevator often has such a thing. Take yourself forever to choose the exhausting variant and voila!
19 - Invest in a good sports outfit - Because that motivates BIG time, I can assure you. Also have a look here for sports & yoga tips .
20 - Start keeping plants - Trust me, once you start doing that with attention, you won't be able to stop. In addition, plants provide more oxygen in the house. Start small with a nice plant from Bloompost, for example! This is Stippie (€21.95)
And? Surely there is something in between, right?
