As 2023 is drawing to a close, you might have vague recollections of new year’s resolutions you made many months ago.
If you haven’t actioned these resolutions yet, why not use the closing period of this year to take care of your personal bucket list?
Whether you’re dedicated to making small changes in the latter part of the year, or achieving something big, here are three ideas for lifestyle changes you can make in 2023.
1. Sign Up for a Degree

If you’ve always been interested in a particular area of study, there’s no time like the present to sign up to study for a university degree.
Whether you have an interest in undergraduate or postgraduate study, universities like Anglia Ruskin University have a stellar assortment of courses to choose from, ranging from their Audiology BSc to Education with Early Childhood MA.
These courses are specially formulated to enable you to study around your other career commitments, interests and day to day life, with full flexibility for you to organise your own time.
This is ideal for making a long anticipated career change, or simply learning a brand new area of interest, all while allowing you to make the necessary progress in your existing career or life commitments.
2. Prioritise Your Self Care
Self care is an essential part of maintaining good mental health, and prioritising the things that make you feel good can help to make you feel happier and more satisfied in your everyday life.
To do this, you might want to take note of the hobbies and interests you want to pursue, and reorganise your life to make time for these interests.
Whether you’re passionate about birdwatching, reading, writing, crocheting, or crossword puzzles, taking some time around the hectic nature of your regular life will help you keep some grounded perspective and minimise stress.
Websites like Meetup are perfect for finding social groups and clubs in your local area where people with common interests meet on a regular basis. This is also a great way to create lasting friendships.
3. Take Control of Your Cash
According to the Money Charity, the average household debt in the UK is around £65,000. Getting control of your money can be a huge weight off your mind, especially if you struggle to budget or save responsibly.
Dedicate a few months to spending as little as possible, and budgeting your money weekly into essential spending pots. You’ll soon see how many subscriptions you may have forgotten about that are draining your disposable income!
You could also try buying second hand items from online marketplaces to reduce your outgoing spend, which will help you consider the environment alongside being thrifty.
