A checklist of what to accomplish before 2023 ends
In 2011, the movie New Year’s Eve brought an impact to pop culture. The romantic flick continues to have been referenced up until today. However, one thing is for sure, at least for me, that Zac Efron had a wonderful performance as Paul in that movie with Michelle Pfeiffer as Ingrid. Together, they set out on an adventure of accomplishing her New Year’s resolutions. From quitting her job to traveling to many places at once, they did it all before midnight struck.
With 2023 starting, we have tons of things that we plan on accomplishing. But, there are a lot of things you can do on your own without depending on a Zac Efron-esque person just to fulfill them all. Even small acts of kindness are a sure way to go. Although we aren’t disregarding Zac Efron’s role in the movie, we can make the movie an inspiration for our New Year’s resolution.
A checklist of what to accomplish before 2023 ends
Visit a local shelter
Before 2023 ends, it would be nice for us to go to a local shelter. Visiting animals in their care would be a means of providing help. We could also provide assistance in any way that could help them maintain their operations since their resources are limited.
Dine with stray cats and dogs
As 2023 approaches, we can take a stroll around our neighborhood and search for stray animals. These animals may not have a permanent home which is why accompanying them would make them feel better. You can even bring food that they can eat so that they could also feel the spirit of the holiday season.
List down your achievements
2022 has been tough on all of us but we managed through it. This is why creating a list of accomplishments for 2023 could be a way of validating ourselves. May it be a big thing or small, we deserve every bit of credit for our own efforts.
Reread your go-to favorite novel
A well-deserved me time is also essential for us, which is why we should set a time for reading. Rereading our favorite novel is a perfect hobby for us as we finish our day. May it be our favorite book from a series or it may also be a comic book. As long as it brings us comfort and joy while we’re reading it.
Invite a friend to a photo booth/photo studio
As we welcome 2023, we could use some photos that include our friends that helped us go overcome the year. It may be a simple photo booth or it may be in a photo studio, but what matters most is the memory itself.
Avail of a gym membership
We can’t deny that most of us include this in our 2023 resolutions. But this time we must make sure that we would aspire for a healthier self. We must put this matter into our own hands before the year ends so that we could be sure of it. Besides, this is non-refundable so it would be an extra motivation.
Compliment a stranger
We all deserve to have a nice thing said about us. But it would be better if we approach a complete stranger and extend a compliment to him/her.
Buy a stranger coffee
As they have said, everything is better with a cup of coffee. Offering a stranger coffee would be a shared experience as it brightens both of your days. Hey, this 2023 resolution may even bring you a new friend.
Cut off a toxic relationship
We must realize that we deserve a healthy environment that could be beneficial for our own mental health and sanity. This is why we must cut our losses peacefully and move into 2023 without it.
Conquer any fear
Think of a thing or activity that we always wanted to try but there is something holding us back. It may be bungee jumping or even confessing to someone. Try to build up your courage to do it since this would be the best way to start 2023, being fearless.
These resolutions may be a stepping stone for us to step unto a new year with a clean slate. We can leave 2022 with a better self. We may need the help of Paul to help us get out of our comfort zone. But we can also bring out our own Paul to help ourselves accomplish our own list.
