This was an idea I came up with from seeing all the different ways a deck of cards can be used on Pinterest. The idea is to write 52 healthy habits that will help you be more proactive, productive and positive on a 52 card deck and to pick one at random each week for a year. When you have picked your card, display it somewhere where you will see it every day and try to do the thing on the card every day for a week. Add a card each week. This is in the hope that these will slowly become healthy habits over the next year because when you try to do things all at once, sometimes it can be quite overwhelming and end up not working out. Slow and steady wins the race, if it's a lifestyle change you're looking for then this is a great way to start!

Obviously you can make your own list of 52 things or even 26 things and take it slower with every fortnight, whatever works best for you! Also it's the first Monday of the year which makes it the most motivational! I hope this helps in becoming a healthier happier person in 2015.
This is a great idea! I always think you will stick to resolutions more if you take them slow and steady. I really want to schedule my laptop and social media time more this year, and spend a bit less screen time! x
