Ready for 2023? Here’s How to Transform Your Life with 3 Simple Strategies
Lower Your Debt, Declutter Your Space, and Shed Excess Weight
Now is the perfect time to start planning for changes in your life in 2023.
Transforming your life can be one of the most important things you ever do. It can help you to overcome difficult challenges, reach your goals, and become the best version of yourself.
When you transform your life, you change your mindset and your perspective. You start to see the world in a new way, and you learn how to better deal with stress and adversity. You also become more resilient and better able to handle whatever life throws your way.
Lower your debt
Debt can be a difficult thing to manage. If you’re currently struggling with debt, you may be feeling overwhelmed and uncertain of what to do next. But don’t worry – there are steps you can take to better understand your debt situation and get back on track.
The first step is to get a clear picture of your current debt situation. Make a list of all the debts you currently have, including the amount owed, the interest rate, and the monthly payment. This will help you to see exactly where you stand and what you’re up against.
Put together a budget and start identifying all income and expenses. Looking at your bank statements or credit card statements can give you a pretty good broad-based idea of where your money is going. You’ll want to be as specific as possible because the goal is to get an accurate picture of dollars in versus dollars out so that you can make informed decisions on where to trim your monthly expenses. Don’t forget to make note of one-time annual expenses, such as holiday shopping or home and vehicle repairs, because you don’t want a small, extraordinary expense cutting into your annual budget.
A simple budget can exist nicely in a spreadsheet with a section for income and one for expenses, and how much money is at the end of the month. The goal is money at the end of the month instead of some month at the end of the money.
The goal for lowering your debt is to see a reduction in your debt balance over time. One of the ways to make sure that you’ll be able to reduce your debt load is to make sure you make at least the minimum monthly payment required for each card.
If you’re looking to end the new year with a lower debt amount, now is the time to start planning how you are going to accomplish reducing your debts. Once you have a clear understanding of your debt situation, you can start to work on a plan to pay it down.
Declutter your space
Do you feel like your home is cluttered and chaotic? Decluttering your space can do wonders for your peace of mind. Not only will you feel better in your space, but you’ll also be able to find things more easily. But getting started on decluttering is sometimes the hardest part. It can be difficult to let go of things that you think you may need at some point.
Ready to start on your decluttering journey?
Start with 5 minutes at a time, if you try to declutter everything at once, it can be overwhelming. Break it down into manageable chunks. Spend 5 minutes decluttering every day. Increase the time when you are ready to accomplish more. Choose one area to focus on each day. It’s your desk or closet. You’ll be surprised at how quickly things start to add up. Start with one of the smaller areas so you begin to see what success looks like before you take on a larger area like the garage.
As you’re decluttering your home, you may find items that you no longer need. But that doesn’t mean someone else wouldn’t find them useful. If you’re not sure what you should do with these items, you have three options. You can give them to family and friends in need, sell them online, or donate them to local organizations that work with others in need.
Shed some excess weight
If you’re carrying around extra weight, it can have a negative impact on your health, your energy levels, and your mental health. Reducing your weight is simple if you know how to accomplish this task and stay the course.
There are often a lot of changes that you need to make to be successful at losing weight. This can be especially true if you have been struggling to lose weight for a while. Two of the most important changes that you can make are with your food intake and your exercise routine.
Making healthier choices with your food can make a big difference in your weight loss success. This means cutting out processed foods, eating more whole foods, and making sure you’re getting enough protein and fiber.
You should try eating more fruits, vegetables, whole grains and beans, and less fried foods and empty carbs like cakes, biscuits, and donuts.
Reducing your salt, sugar, and alcohol intake is also beneficial and will help you lose weight. Most importantly, cutting your portion sizes to smaller pieces is imperative. Keep it moderate and try to eat slowly and deliberately to give your body time to register fullness.
Exercise is also vitally important, and you need to make sure you’re doing it regularly. A combination of cardio and strength training is ideal, and you should aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise most days of the week.
