27 Transformational New Year Resolutions
Spiritual
Devote your time to spend your waking hours and moments through the day to draw nearer to God.
- Memorize 1 passage of scripture weekly.
- Declare biblical truth over yourself daily.
- Prioritize 30 minutes daily to spend time with God. And when life gets busy, spend as much or as little time as you have or while you’re on the go.
- Spend x amount of time on social media per day. Learn to set boundaries. This may mean deleting the app, logging out, or setting time limits. Whatever you need to do to disconnect from the unconscious habit of mindless scrolling.
- Wake up at x time to spend time with God daily, before anyone else is awake, and before jumping into your routine.
- Dedicate your time weekly to a ministry that aligns with your God-given talents, abilities, and spiritual gifts.
Physical
My body will be a temple for the Holy Spirit to dwell in.
- Be active for 30 minutes daily, whatever that looks like each day.
- Drink x liters of water daily.
- Go to bed and wake up on time to get 7-8 hours daily based on your schedule.
- Get ready daily in a way that makes you feel like yourself, makes you feel confident all while looking put together.
Financial
I will steward my money and God’s provision to serve others and to spend and save wisely.
- Commit to (a) no spend month(s) on any unnecessary purchases (outside of mortgage/ rent, groceries, gas etc.)
- Avoid purchases from x, x and x for the year. Fill in the blank with stores or platforms where you often find yourself purchasing products you do not need. Try limiting or better yet, eliminating purchases from here for the year.
- Commit to saving $x by the end of the year. Save in increments each month.
- Set aside x for donations. Make giving your priority. It certainly doesn’t have to be a large figure but it should be sacrificial in comparison to your earnings.
- Review transactions and budgets bi-weekly to ensure timely payments and to stay within budgets.
Intellectual
I will gain more wisdom about God and the things He has created while expanding on my learned abilities.
- Read x (Christian) books this year.
- Participate in an extracurricular activity weekly this year. This can be a course or club that stimulates your way of thinking such as a finance course at church or your local Toastmasters club.
- Dedicate time to researching and exploring one new topic each month.
Career
I will steward my career and be a light to those around me.
- Learn to track projects, feedback, and achievements as they happen to record your progress.
Relationships
I will love others like Jesus loves me.
- Serve family by cooking a meal x times a month.
- Spend time reading the Bible as a family together weekly.
- Dedicate time each month to do a family activity.
- Invest in a small number of close friends with my time and resources.
- Initiate monthly dates with your significant other. Try something new for both of you or try a no/ minimal spend date.
Personal
My time spent on God-given projects and interests will be to glorify Him.
- Spend time on your God-given dream weekly.
- Dedicate time to trying one new hobby per month OR sticking to one hobby consistently for the year.
- Invest time into my community by organizing a neighborhood clean-up and bringing people together for a good cause.
