Well, they are popular during the month of December every year! So often we set lofty goals for the new year to work out seven days a week, single-handedly end world hunger, and put 75% of our monthly income into a savings account. We then laugh at ourselves come February at the absurdity of our expectations.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re the goal-setting type who loves creating New Years resolutions, we wanted to share a few ideas with you of what you might add to your ever-growing list. You might deem some resolutions irrelevant to your lifestyle or personal goals, but some might inspire you to make a change or two this year!<\/p>\n<p>The beauty of flipping the calendar to January every year means there is a \u201cblank slate\u201d that you can take advantage of. No matter what happened last year \u2014 from bad eating habits to forgotten birthdays \u2014 you have the opportunity to start fresh!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>1.\u00a0Call or text someone you care about at least once a week.<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s rare that 100% of the people you love and care for live within driving distance. So it\u2019s easy to lose touch with those people as the seasons pass, and as life seems to get busier and busier. Unfortunately, technology \u2014 particularly in the form of Facebook \u2014 makes it easy to stay informed about loved one\u2019s major life events without having to actually communicate with them personally.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, technology can also assist you with forming a habit of reaching out to those who live far away. Simply set a reminder on your smartphone or virtual calendar to reach out to a loved one every Saturday \u2014 or whatever fits your weekly schedule best. You can then use technology once again to call, text or FaceTime that person that week. Don\u2019t let one week pass in the new year without initiating a conversation with your daughter, cousin, mom, college roommate or son-in-law. It will also prove to be beneficial for your soul, as staying connected and fostering relationships are therapeutic and life-giving practices.<\/p>\n<p>Are you an Android user? If so, you&#8217;re in luck, because there&#8217;s an Android app called &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.algonity.apps.callmom&amp;hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Call Mom Glamorous Reminder<\/a>&#8221; that does exactly what the title suggests \u2014 it reminds you to call your mother. You can set a specific time and input your mom&#8217;s phone number and the app will prompt you with a pop-up notification at that time! We can assure you that moms everywhere will approve of this PSA.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/npdodge.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/FaceTime.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1424 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/npdodge.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/FaceTime.png\" alt=\"New Years Resolutions\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/npdodge.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/FaceTime.png 600w, https:\/\/npdodge.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/FaceTime-300x169.png 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/337;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>2. Set a specific health-related goal. (And stick to it!)<span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Everybody \u2014\u00a0and every body \u2014 is different, so we can\u2019t necessarily set a universal goal for us all to aim for in terms of our health. But whatever your lifestyle, there\u2019s always something you can do to improve your health in the new year. This can look like a vow to an exercise plan or a change in eating habits, but whatever it is, stick to it!<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a reason for the incline in gym memberships in January and the decline in gym attendance in February. So many of us set lofty goals and soon get swept up in our daily routines, telling ourselves we\u2019ll get back on track next January. There are so many convenient exercise options in the area. You could of course join a gym \u2014 like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.toddsmithfitness.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Todd Smith Fitness<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/crossfitomaha.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CrossFit Omaha<\/a>. You can also score some major deals on local fitness classes using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.groupon.com\/local\/omaha\/fitness-classes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">these Groupons<\/a>. You could even achieve similar results by exercising at home! There are several online workout options, like following along with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doyogawithme.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">free online yoga videos<\/a>, investing in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbody.com\/product\/fitness_programs\/insanity.do\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Insanity fitness program<\/a>, or finding your favorite <a href=\"http:\/\/greatist.com\/move\/best-free-workout-videos-youtube\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">free YouTube workout video<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, there are several resources for healthy eating habits available online. One of our favorites is <a href=\"http:\/\/livewellomaha.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Live Well Omaha<\/a>, which leads a forum of organizations seeking to improve the health of individuals and families across the community. We love Live Well Omaha because they are of course a local resource, but they also promote an active and healthy lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/npdodge.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Running.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1426 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/npdodge.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Running.png\" alt=\"New Years Resolutions\" width=\"945\" height=\"582\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/npdodge.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Running.png 945w, https:\/\/npdodge.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Running-300x185.png 300w, https:\/\/npdodge.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Running-768x473.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 945px) 100vw, 945px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 945px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 945\/582;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>3. Give back to the community.<\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019ve mentioned several ways you can volunteer your time, money and resources during the holidays in the Omaha area. That philanthropic mindset shouldn\u2019t get packed away with the holiday decorations! We think it\u2019s important to consider the needs of the community year-round. Skim our list of volunteer ideas for some inspiration, or consider helping out within the Omaha area in a new way.<\/p>\n<p>You might get involved with the efforts of a local community garden organization, like <a href=\"http:\/\/omahasprouts.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">City Sprouts<\/a>. They combat the food desert in North Omaha by maintaining community gardens, creating demonstration plots, providing educational resources, and establishing an urban farm. They are in the business of building local food systems, improving community health, empowering <a href=\"http:\/\/www.npdodge.com\/communities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">neighborhoods<\/a> and strengthening economic viability and sustainability through something as tangible (and edible!) as a garden. Consider being a part of City Sprout\u2019s valiant efforts by <a href=\"http:\/\/omahasprouts.org\/volunteer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">volunteering<\/a> at <a href=\"http:\/\/omahasprouts.org\/our-campus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">one of their locations<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/npdodge.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Sprouts.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1427 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/npdodge.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Sprouts.png\" alt=\"New Years Resolutions\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/npdodge.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Sprouts.png 600w, https:\/\/npdodge.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Sprouts-300x200.png 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/400;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>4. Learn a new skill. (Or pick up an old one!)<\/h2>\n<p>We all have varying passions and skills, and it seems like every season is \u201cthe wrong time\u201d to pick up that new hobby you\u2019ve been wanting to try. Set those excuses aside and pick up the tools necessary to either learn a new skill or improve an existing one! Maybe you want to master the intimidating Adobe Beast that is Photoshop. Or you remember your grandmother\u2019s almost instinctive ability to hand sew anything from garment repairs to an entire quilt, and you would like to follow in her footsteps (or handsteps?). Or you might be interested in learning some sort of artisanal trade, like woodworking, screen printing, metalsmithing, ceramics, photography or coffee roasting.<\/p>\n<p>On the subject of artisanal skills, you might consider <a href=\"http:\/\/benchomaha.com\/classes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">enrolling in a class<\/a> at <a href=\"http:\/\/benchomaha.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bench<\/a> in Omaha to learn about the abovementioned trades. Bench is a public woodworking shop, co-working space and artisan hub. They offer hobbyists and professional makers the community, equipment, and space they need to build great things. If you enjoy your experience as a student in one of their classes, you might take the leap to become a \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/benchomaha.com\/membership\/\">Benchmate<\/a>\u201d, which includes unlimited access to their co-working space, and discounted prices for their classes and materials.<\/p>\n<p>But let\u2019s get back to the main idea! Make it a priority to set aside time this year to either read up on a topic you\u2019re interested in or physically put your hands to work at a skill you\u2019d like to learn.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/npdodge.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Bench-Omaha.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1428 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/npdodge.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Bench-Omaha.png\" alt=\"New Years Resolutions\" width=\"945\" height=\"350\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/npdodge.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Bench-Omaha.png 945w, https:\/\/npdodge.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Bench-Omaha-300x111.png 300w, https:\/\/npdodge.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Bench-Omaha-768x284.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 945px) 100vw, 945px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 945px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 945\/350;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>5.
