Stress, anxiety, and uncertainty have been just some of the gifts this year has inevitably brought us.
That's why today at Liza Pons we bring you five New Year's resolutions to become the best version of yourself this year.
We've put together these tips to help you start 2021 with strength and resilience in the face of adversity.
The first purpose is:
Schedule screen-free time every day
As a result of the pandemic, the excessive use of electronic devices has been exacerbated by multiple factors such as online classes, working from home, and, worst of all, leisure time. That's why this year we need to dedicate three periods a day to completely disconnect and engage in alternative activities.
These don't necessarily have to be complex; they can be activities you enjoy, such as reading, walking in the grass, saying a prayer, making coffee; even listening to your favorite song can be a good activity. Having these free spaces throughout the day will allow us to keep our minds clear, which is vital for maintaining mental health.
The second purpose is:
Do one hour of physical activity twice a week
One of the main causes of a sedentary lifestyle is work. This problem has worsened in the last year because the limited physical activity we used to do to get to work is no longer part of our routine.
Exercising regularly will not only make you look better, but it will also have a direct impact on your happiness.
This is because when we exercise, our brain produces chemicals like serotonin and dopamine that help us feel active, happy, and productive.
The third purpose is:
Breaking the stigmas we have about taking therapy
It takes extreme honesty and courage to recognize when a problem is beyond us. Seeking professional help is an act of responsibility and also an act of self-love.
We often make the mistake of believing that we can get rid of our pain through tears or talking to friends. Although these can be very helpful, the reality is that there is no better help than that which can be provided by a qualified person. Be honest with yourself and ask yourself if it's time to seek professional help, since the worst thing you can do is postpone your emotional well-being.
The fourth purpose is:
Achieving healthy finances
A difficult fact to process is that only 20% of Mexicans have the habit of saving, and if we learned anything from 2020, it's that life can change in a second.
And while money isn't the cure for all ills, it's certainly a great ally when it comes to facing unexpected problems.
Beyond mentally preparing ourselves for the negative, it's necessary to raise awareness about how we spend our income. Books like The Richest Man in Babylon can explain from step one how to learn to manage healthy finances. This is more than a talent; it's actually an indispensable skill for adult life, and the sooner you can work on it, the more peaceful your life will be.

The fifth and final purpose is:
Making peace with your past
Although it may seem like our memories and experiences haunt us and cannot be separated from us, the truth is that your past has no influence on your present, and carrying around things that hurt you only hurts us deeply.
Accepting what happened is necessary to learn to move forward, as well as letting go and releasing everything that hurts us.
Well-being is a personal decision we must make every day. Forgiving and forgiving yourself is the first step toward leading a happier life.
