Sticking to Your New Year's Resolution to Travel More

With the new year here, many of you have made resolutions and set goals for yourself in 2017. Many popular resolutions focus a lot on eating healthy, exercising more and losing weight. However, there are many other resolutions to consider, like saving more money and traveling more. In today's blog, Your Lake Vacation offers a few tips for sticking to your new year's resolution to travel more!

Benefits of Travel 


Many people dream of traveling more, taking a break from their day-to-day lives, yet many never actually do it. The benefits of travel are many and you should take a regular vacation for more reasons than to just have fun. Both the human body and mind need to rest to function well. Occasionally, you need to just relax, and for more than just one or two days. Taking a vacation can relieve stress, make you feel happier, improve your immune system, lengthen your lifespan and more!

Tips for Sticking to It 


Keeping your new year's resolutions is one of the hardest things to do. Many people jump into the new year knowing they want to make resolutions, but having no plan on how to actually make them happen. Here are few tips to help you get on the right track for keeping your resolution to travel more this year:

1. Save More and Spend Less. 

No matter where you're planning to travel in 2017, you're likely going to need to save up money for the trip. Something to start now, at the beginning of the year, is a budget. One of the most important things you can do is realize where exactly all the money you have is going. There are apps you can download to help you stay organized, on track and on budget. Be sure to add a section into your budget where you set money aside for travel.

2. Don't Get Burnt Out. 

If you deprive yourself of every luxury you used to take, you're likely to quit on your resolution before the month's end. Rather than going cold turkey and not spending any money on anything other than what's absolutely necessary, take small steps. Maybe start by not swinging into Starbucks every morning on your way to work. Maybe skip your bi-weekly nail appointment. How many subscriptions are you signed up for that are unnecessary? There are little things you spend a few dollars on here and there that you don't even think about anymore, but they can really add up.

3. Be Willing to Embrace New Things. 

People who achieve their new year's resolutions are willing to embrace a lifestyle change. Whether your goals are health related, money related or something else, a lifestyle change is your key to success. Albert Einstein said, "If you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got." Being mindful is also key to sticking to any goal. Be aware of your day-to-day actions and what their results are.
