With the New Year looming, with it a fresh new decade in tow, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the past. Time to think about what the future holds. This upcoming year, we believe you should fill your resolution list with goals that will help improve your love life. Whether you’re in a happy couple or single and searching for the one. Forget the cliché resolutions of the past. Just pick and choose between any of these and enter the next decade with a renewed sense of confidence in your old and new relationships. Here are 5 New Year’s Resolutions to boost your love life in 2020…

• Be kind to yourself

Maintaining your mental wellbeing and loving yourself is essential, if you want to improve your love life. If you don’t love yourself, how can you expect anyone else to? Remember, your well-being is essential for maintaining any relationship, romantic or not.

Treat yourself like you would a friend, with care and compassion, and watch as your relationships flourish. Most people fixate on their flaws when deciding their New Year’s resolutions. Why not learn to embrace and accept your shortcomings? We are human after all.

• Be more empathetic

If you want to increase your chances of meeting the one or just want to improve your current relationship, understanding the feelings of others is essential. This can work in tandem with the first New Year’s resolution. Being more empathetic with others will ultimately boost your ability to be kind to yourself.

It’s essential in any relationship to understand and appreciate how your partner is feeling, just as you’d expect them to do the same for you. In the next year, be more open to listening and learning about others. You’ll see a vast improvement in your relationships.

• Try something new every month

2020 should be the year of new experiences. Whether it’s trying a new sport, travelling to a country you’ve never been before or even trying out a new dating app (if you’re single!) The chance to immerse yourself in 12 new experiences next year should be an exciting prospect.

If you’re in a relationship, this resolution can give you and your significant other the chance to experience new things. Maybe injecting excitement and fun back into your life. If you’re single, it’ll give you the chance to meet new people. As well as, learn new skills and improve the prospects of meeting Mr or Mrs Right.

• Spend more time with the people that matter to you

Understanding who matters the most to you is essential for a Happy New Year. Focusing on the people that you care about and who care about you is a sure-fire way to leave toxicity behind and moving forward into new loving relationships.

Whether you’re in a relationship or not, it’s important to know who has your back. You may have to make some rash decisions in the process but, ultimately, your life will be greatly improved once you’ve surrounded yourself with positivity.

• Less social media – more socialising

Spending less time on your phone (unless you’re looking for love on a dating app – which is totally acceptable) and more time in reality is incredibly important. Think of the wasted hours you’ve spent on social media, all of which could be substituted for more fun and engaging activities. Just think – you’ll be able to spend more quality time with your partner or, if you’re single, more time with friends and have room for potential romances.

So, there you have it! 5 New Year’s resolutions that will allow you to journey into the next decade with more love and positivity in your life. But don’t stop there – there are so many other things you can do to make this next decade the best yet for love, but you’ll have to find them out for yourself!
