New Year, New Resolutions?
Most of us make resolutions at New Year, but how long do they last? And how do we make them? Do we write them down, or do we just think about them?
Most resolutions are just thoughts, and most last only as long as the hangover.
But just the single action of writing them down can make a huge difference in whether we do actually succeed in making any changes in our lives. Love her or hate her, Jacinda Ardern had the best idea ever, going into government with a strong, "Things we want to achieve in our first 100 days" policy. An American goals coach, Gary Ryan Blair, is currently promoting a "100 Days Challenge" to help people get their year off to a supercharged start.
I've written down 32 things I want to achieve in the first 100 days of 2018 - and already have crossed off two of them! So give it a go - write down your list of what you want to achieve before April 10th, read it over every day or two - and see what happens in your year. I challenge you!
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
