Take on a new hobby: It has to be the one thing which you have always wanted to do. Learn to do something you have never done before, read that book, take that leap, climb that mountain. Start today! Take a series of selfies: Yes, it may seem lame at first, but once you put 25 days worth of selfies together (easily through photoshop or other editing programs) you will be able to make a fun board to share with family and friends as your Christmas card. GYM. We cannot put enough emphasis on healthy living. Don’t throw it all away over December. Remember, if you work hard during the holidays, you won’t be the fat Amy sweating it off in January. Make time for family: This is after all what the holidays are about. Don’t waste time arguing, but rather spend the time really talking to each other (without phoning or texting in between) and get to know the people you spend most of your time with. Make time for yourself. Holidays are about relaxing – totally relaxing and becoming synced with yourself again. Find your balance, breathe, and let it go. Start 2015 with a fresh outlook on life These are the Top 10… but there is still one more… Our plus 1: Make time to give back to your community. Volunteer at an old age home or support local cancer patients. Attend fundraisers for charities donating food and clothing to the needy or open a soup kitchen. Whatever you do, don’t be ordinary! Don’t settle – hustle! Help those in need and see how your own life will gain meaning and value. The biggest plus one this summer, is realising that you are on this earth to serve and not merely to exist. Be extraordinary in 2015! Photographer: Vernondo Boshoff
