2022 should be a year to make a career ambition come true. For that, you should take up a New year resolution to stop thinking and start taking action to make that ambition come true.

9. Donate for a cause
Instead of wasting money on different meaningless things you should donate for a cause that you believe in. Donation not only benefits the charities that you are donating to but it is also deeply rewarding for you. This is a very offbeat and useful New Year Resolution to have.

13. Volunteer
New year's eve is a great time to volunteer to clean up a park or help at an animal shelter. And research shows that pitching in regularly can lead to less stress and lower blood pressure. So use this day to jumpstart a longer-term personal commitment.

14. Donate old clothes
Bye-bye, too-tight jeans. Keeping smaller clothes as motivation to slim down is baloney and it tends to backfire. Studies show that muffin-top shaming doesn't help, but focusing on being healthy does. After doing your Goodwill drop-off, take a lighter-cooking class or meet a pal for a hike.

15. Do one thing at a time
Multitasking doesn't make you more efficient, but it does stress you out. If your focus is fragmented, you'll likely find yourself getting anxious as new items come up when old ones are still incomplete. Instead, organize your activities into chunks of time, such as kid time and cooking time, and then commit to being focused in those allotted minutes and see what happens.

16. Spend less time glued to your phone
It's only your phone who's stopping you to be the best edition of yourself. This new year 2022 promises to keep yourself on a schedule. Turn off as many push notifications as possible. Take distracting apps off your home screen. Kick your device out of bed. If you have a smart speaker, put it to use. Try turning on your phone's grayscale. Stay accountable!

17. Pick up useful skills
Physical exercise keeps your body healthy, and mental exercise is key to keeping your mind sharp. Trying something new can boost memory skills and more. Subscribe to a workshop or class basis of your interest could be painting, dancing music or coding, whatever you like to see yourself to be.

18. Add more citrus to your grocery cart
When you see all those gorgeous in-season grapefruits, oranges, mandarin orange, and berries in the produce aisle, grab an armful. Winter citrus can help keep skin looking healthy thanks to vitamin C, which aids in collagen production. People who ate foods high in C had fewer wrinkles and less age-related dry skin than those who didn't. Try clementine sections sprinkled with pistachios or sweet grapefruit dipped in Greek yogurt for a snack.

19. Stop procrastinating
The biggest barrier that keeps most people from reaching their goals is the desire to relax and do something fun instead of working hard. Once you get used to procrastinating it’s difficult to snap yourself out of it, so you’ll need to put in a lot of work to change this bad habit.

20. Give yourself more compliments
Repeat after us: Today is my day. I'm thankful for me. Positive self-talk can help you focus on what's good in your life. A little vitamin G (for gratitude) can make you feel happier and more satisfied and even improve your sleep. If you repeat an affirmation related to gratitude in the morning, you're likely to show and feel more of it throughout that day. You're so welcome!
