The new year is a time for many things. It is the start of new beginnings, new friendships, and new memories that will affect the rest of everyone’s lives.

Especially in high school, there is much determination to get things done in order to ensure an optimal future. However, it can be hard sometimes to create the perfect resolutions for the new year. It can help to take advice from others on ways to go through the year the most preferred way possible. Especially for freshman, it can be difficult to come up with resolutions, being new to high school and figuring out ways to maintain a healthy and happy year.

In order to help those who need guidance in forming their own new year’s resolutions, here are some that may be helpful this new year of 2022. One idea could be finding a specific number of days a month to spend time with family and friends. This ensures that one can maintain a healthy relationship with those they care about, while also not interfering with work and relax time.

It can really help destress a day by setting up an amount of time to do work, but also incorporate down time in between. This can make sure that all the work can be done, but also not overwhelm because there is specified time for relaxation.

Although it is very healthy to maintain important relationships with others, it is also important to maintain your bodily health. It can very beneficial physically and mentally to make time to work your body and mind. This could be finding time a few days a week to visit the gym, go for a run, or maybe do yoga.

Another more personal resolution that makes the most out of a year is trying new things. Promising to do something new is exiting and can spark motivation. This could be doing something spontaneous every month, or just as simple as trying a new food every now and then. It could be trying a new sport or joining a club. A very cathartic resolution is reorganizing. It is very refreshing to fix things up once in a while and get organized. Sometimes rearranging things one’s bedroom or getting cabinets to clear clutter can help destress.
