When a New Year strikes, we all want to be able to do a little bit more, have a little bit more, and feel that little bit happier. Because of the idea of resolutions, we can’t help it – we all want to turn over a new leaf and start the brand new year afresh. While big transformations can be shocking and rewarding, they can also be hard to stick to. Instead, a little goes a long way. You can make small changes to your lifestyle that can have such a big impact (and maybe even save you some money too). So if that sounds good to you, hopefully, these tips can inspire you!
Are you a coffee lover? If so, it’s likely that you’re spending a lot of money each week on cafe coffee. Who could blame you? You’re just trying to get your caffeine fix! But, you might find that you’re wasting a lot of money in the process. So, instead, you’re going to want to invest in a good coffee machine for 2019. Not only will it save you money in the long run, but you have the freedom of enjoying your coffee at home at any time of day. To make sure you pick up a machine that suits your needs, do your research. You’ll find reviews online, on sites like Espresso Gusto, which will help you during the process.
The New Year might not be all about health and fitness for you, but you can make small changes that make a big impact. If you feel like you need to improve your energy levels, lose a bit of weight or improve your overall health, you might want to make a small commitment to yourself. Whether it’s 20 minutes of exercise a day or an hour a week, you could find it improves your mood!
If you often get sick or feel lethargic, low in energy or generally run down, you might not be getting enough of the essentials vitamins you need to stay happy and healthy. So, change that in 2019. You can get a multivitamin or packs of the ones that you’re lacking and take them in the morning with breakfast. It’s so easy to do and can make a huge difference to how you feel.
Next, you’re going to want to get a plan. And not just a plan, but a couple of plans. You’ll be surprised by the difference they can make to your lifestyle. Creating a morning and evening routine will help you to feel set up for the day and then wind down again at night – rather than rushing and feeling all over the place. It’s the same with a careers plan. Once you set your goals, you’ll have actionable points to work through and feel more focused for it.
And finally, you might find that 2019 is a big improvement for you on 2018 if you spend your money a little more wisely. It can be easy to throw $5 on this and $20 on that, but it all adds up. By thinking before you spend, you’ll be able to cut back a lot, pay off some debts and have more money to devote to the things that matter.

Heck yes! I put an espresso maker on my Christmas list for this very reason! Can’t wait to enjoy a latte at home!
