A lot of people complain at those who make new year’s resolutions. And in some ways they have a point, you don’t have to wait until january the first to change your life for the better. Every day is an opportunity to improve and grow, that is certainly true. However there’s something about the promise of a brand new year stretching ahead that can give a whole lot of motivation and really push you to set and reach your goals. So if you do want to improve your life, now is a good time to start making plans since we’re nearing the end of the year. Here are some new year’s resolutions that are generally worthwhile making.
Health
One of the things people can go wrong with when setting health goals is being unrealistic or too specific. They might set a target weight that’s too low or a dress size that’s unlikely to work with their body shape. They might aim to look like a certain celebrity or set another goal which simply isn’t achievable. When it comes to health, you should be aiming to live a better lifestyle. Create an eating plan which is focused on plenty of fresh produce, lean protein, low fat dairy and whole grains, but allow yourself the odd day where you can have whatever you fancy so that it’s sustainable long term. Work out what your BMI should be, and plan how much weight you would have to lose (or gain) to get there. With exercise, don’t set yourself the goal of running at 6am every morning if you hate getting up early and hate running. Find a sport, class or activity you enjoy and do this instead. Aim for three days a week, you can build from it if you want but you won’t overwhelm yourself right away. Diet and exercise is a big part of health, but look at the bigger picture too. You should aim to sleep more, drink more water and quit your dangerous vices. Companies like Serenity at Summit Rehab Center can deal with more serious addictions, otherwise speak to your GP regarding your drinking, drugs or smoking addiction. Take care of your mental health too- the body and mind are closely connected so to look after your overall wellbeing you need to be paying attention to the way you feel too. Meditation and relaxation techniques can help with anxiety, otherwise speak to your doctor if an issue like depression or anxiety is affecting your life.
Finances
Being able to keep your finances in order is one of the best skills you can master in your adult life. Whether your budget is big or small, knowing exactly how much you can spend and when to pay your bills so that you’re not getting into trouble or falling behind is important. If you know you’re not the best with money, mak 2018 your year to get it right. If you’re in debt, speak to a debt management company who can negotiate with creditors on your behalf. They can often get you reduced payments and the interest frozen. Use a budgeting app or work out your money on a calendar so you know exactly what needs to be paid and when. Spend some time getting this right so that you’re not falling behind and can feel calm and confident when it comes to your bills. Another thing you could do to improve your financial situation is ask for a promotion, change careers or do some work from home. You could do this by setting up a home business, or
Social
We all lead such busy lifestyles. Between working full time, taking care of children and running a house, you will often find that time completely escapes you. However it’s important to find time for loved ones, these are the people that matter so you will want to keep social bonds strong. You could arrange a monthly dinner together at the weekend, in the summer this could be a barbeque or a picnic. The rest of the year you could host dinner parties at home, or take it in turns to go to each other. You could arrange a day out or a mini break with them, whether it’s jetting off somewhere or going camping with a couple of other families. Even making the time for the occasional phone call is important. If you know you’ve been neglecting your loved ones and not attending social things recently, you could aim to sort this out in the new year. Having a support network is around you, so be sure to be there when your loved ones need you and in return you know they will be there for you. You will feel far more secure in life, and if things ever do go wrong you will have people who care about you close to you.
Travel
The planet is colossal, and if we only ever stay in one place we miss out on so much. Travel expands your mind, gives you a whole new perspective and it’s fun too. If your budget is smaller you could aim to go on road trips in the country where you live, visit different places where you’re from which you’ve never seen. If you’re able to spend more you could aim to visit new countries and destinations that have always appealed to you. If you go on a cruise, you will stop off at lots of different destinations along the way. Or you could go on a river cruise through cities, there are tonnes of these in Europe. You could go backpacking, or just aim to go on a couple of vacations. Either way, you’ll never regret travelling and seeing more of the world is a worthwhile resolution to make. It benefits both adults and kids and is something you can do if you’re a family or by yourself.
What resolutions will you be making for 2018? Have you got any ideas yet?
With its 1st experiential store, Belgium-based brand Deceuninck (dealing in UPVC Door & Window system) is eyeing to expand its footprint in the Indian Renovation and Individual Home Owners Market. CEO Mr. Francis VanEeckhout and Director – Turkey and Emerging Markets Mr. Ergun Cicekci, Director – International Business Development – Mr. Moez Mohmedali – Deceuninck will be inaugurating the showroom this month located in Saket, New Delhi.
Deceuninck products are used worldwide in varied climatic conditions i.e., tropical climates like that of Chile/Brazil or hot climates like in the Middle East or the high UV areas in parts of Australia. As for India, at a time when New Delhi and other parts of India are struggling to keep its noise and air pollution under permissible limits and extreme temperatures at bay, Deceuninck’s UPVC Doors and Windows will help in reducing the noise and pollution levels considerably and save individuals from extreme hot weathers.
Satish Kumar, Country Manager, Deceuninck, avers, “Noise is a major issue in most cities across India considering the traffic snarls, urbanization and rapid increase in metro network. Our Zendow system has the potential to offer high noise insulation and air tightness against the pollution. ”

Deceuninck products suitability in Indian environment
Opportunity for growth
Deceuninck is betting on the Indian market’s huge growth potential and the demand in housing sector increasing every year, especially in the urban and semi-urban areas.
On how lucrative the Indian market is for Deceuninck, Francis VanEeckhout, CEO, Deceuninck says, “ India has a very high potential considering the growth of housing sector in India, implementation of new policies like RERA, GST, lower interest rates, higher disposable income in the mid-high end segment, affordable home sector growing at a fast pace given its infrastructure status and of course better informed, internet savvy customers of today. Indian consumers are gradually understanding the necessity of high-quality windows behind the glamorous curtains.” “We plan to be in both the projects and retail segment in India. Envisaging the retail customers demand for various colour profiles, we stock wide range of white as well as colour laminated profiles. Our new custom built 35000 sqft warehouse in Chennai stocks nearly 500 tonnes of profiles at any point of time to support our customers needs.” he adds.
India, a country that is developing at a fast pace and increasingly registering its positive presence on a global platform has everything in its favour except the pollution level. It is a glaring fact that World Health Organisation has identified 13 cities of India among the list of most polluted cities of the world with New Delhi securing number second position.

So, at a time when New Delhi and other parts of India are struggling to keep its noise and air pollution under permissible limits and extreme temperatures at bay, the opening of 1st experiential store of Belgium-based brand Deceuninck (dealing in UPVC Door & Window system) can rightfully help in reducing the noise and pollution levels considerably and save individuals from extreme hot weathers.
Through the new store, Deceuninck will be catering to B2B as well as B2C customers at the same time. The experiential store will offer architects and interior designers too so that the customers can explore the infinite design possibilities with UPVC Windows and Doors.
The company aims to roll out a slew of marketing and promotional initiatives in next couples of years. In the next phase, similar experiential stores will be opened up in Bengaluru followed by Mumbai/Pune and Hyderabad.
Your parents and grandparents (and even great-grandparents for those lucky enough) will have contributed to who you are today, and will have sacrificed things throughout their life to ensure that you were looked after. Often, our elderly relatives are very special members of a family, and everyone gains a lot of knowledge, advice, and wisdom from them over the years. However, like everyone, the aging process can take it’s toll on people physically, even if they are still sharp and sound of mind. Nobody enjoys getting older, especially when they cannot do all the things that they used to, and end up missing what they enjoyed so much.
Therefore, it’s vital that you do all you can to keep the older family members feeling as young and free as possible. You can assist them in making them feel happy and ensuring their life is fulfilled whenever possible. Looking after the health and wellbeing of your loved ones will ensure that they’re able to remain active and as witty as always. The following are some ideas, tips, and inspiration for those who want to keep their elderly relatives feeling young at heart for the years ahead so that they continue spending enjoyable and quality time with them.

Make Time
Making an effort to pick up the phone and calling your loved one could turn their day around from a lonely and boring one to a happy and cheery one in a matter of minutes. Just knowing that they’re worth your time and efforts will lift a person’s mood and give them the boost they need to get through the rest of the day or week ahead. It’s worth encouraging other family members to do the same, and better yet; go and visit your elderly loved ones in person, as a group or individually. You can reminisce together, and they’ll be able to laugh and enjoy the conversation and contact, keeping them feeling young and alert.
Get Help
When your elderly relatives are unable to do certain tasks due to health and mobility issues; it can be an upsetting time and make them feel low. Therefore, it’s worth looking into sites like https://seniorsforseniors.ca/services and finding a service that can help your loved one do all they desire to, but with a little added help, care, and assistance. Ensuring that your family member’s lifestyle is still of high quality is a great way to keep them smiling and young at heart.
Always Include
You might have to make allowances and adjustments; however, it’s important to include your elderly relatives in family get-togethers and trips. Being included will ensure they feel worthwhile and will have something to look forward to; their week may not be as busy as yours, so it’s always good to have a focus to prepare for and enjoy. Sites like https://myageingparent.com/life/keeping-busy/ideas-for-great-days-out/ are a great source of ideas, so check them out and start spending more time with your parents and grandparents; you won’t regret it.
It is said that a child’s smile can brighten up anyone’s day – imagine what would happen when 550 innocent smiles light up a place. This was the view that greeted attendees at NCUI Auditorium, August Kranti Marg, on November 19, 2017 on the launch of Smile Foundation’s ‘The World of Children’ initiative. Approximately 550 children from privileged and underprivileged background were present for the landmark event, which was graced by the Guest of Honour, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, amongst other prominent dignitaries.
The event witnessed the launch of the initiative – ‘The World of Children’. Conceptualised as a one-of-its-kind platform that brought together children from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, ‘The World of Children’ is aimed at enabling children to discuss their issues challenges, and ideas with each other, as well as youth icons and inspirational leaders from the world over. The initiative is aimed at helping children and adults understand the problems that plague today’s youth and to find the right outlet for their energy and enthusiasm through meaningful, thought-provoking discussions, relevant advice, and guidance.
The event kicked off with the introduction and formal welcome of His Holiness onto the stage, followed by an address by His Holiness to the children in attendance. It was followed by another address and Q&A session between His Holiness and the students. Children from Gramin Vikas Samiti, Nai Disha, Ina Raja Memorial Education Trust, Neev – Mission Education centres of Smile Foundation and from the privileged schools – Bharti Public School (Swasthya Vihar), Bharti Public School (Mayur Vihar), Mount Carmel School, Queen Mary School, Kothari International, Victoria Public School, Mother Global Public School, and Ahlcon International School were the schools participating at the event.
Reciting anecdotes from his life and experience and laying emphasis on self-creation, His Holiness The Dalai Lama said, ”I see much development in the field of education in the recent years. One can change the way of thinking in order to reduce the gap of rich and poor, both of them have the responsibility to bring in education. I always stress, you should develop self confidence. I would like to contribute to the task taken up by the Smile Foundation and take the mission of equal education and infrastructure to all and bridge this gap. Self creation is very important and you can become a great person through will-power, hardwork and dedication.”
Citing India, His Holiness The Dalai Lama said, ”India is my home, both physically and mentally, since last fifty years and I am a student of the Nalanda tradition. In this tradition there is a lot of emphasis on reasoning, logic, and experiment and not faith. Ancient knowledge of India is more meaningful today, today the world is going through a crisis; it is highly developed but there is no inner peace. Inner peace comes from training of mind and not temporary shortcuts.”
His Holiness in his message to the children concluded, ”It is your responsibility to build this 21st century into a better, compassionate and peaceful generation. In order to build a better world you need determination, strictly secular education, universal responsibility.”
Speaking on the launch, Mr. Santanu Mishra, Co-founder & Executive Trustee, Smile Foundation, said, “The children today – whether privileged or underprivileged, need support, advice and guidance to help them realize their true potential, make the right choices, and discover a meaningful purpose in life. The lessons that are learnt in childhood tend to stay with us throughout our lives. We believe that the wise words, advice and guidance of real-life achievers such as His Holiness – the Dalai Lama will positively influence the thought-process and decision-making of the children and will be cherished by them all their lives. We are extremely thankful to His Holiness to grace us with his presence and enrich us with his thoughts. The only objective of “The World of Children” is to ensure that the young minds of our country grow up as good human beings and responsible change-makers committed to build a better world for all.”
In today’s world, depression amongst children the world over is on the rise, as are other critical issues such as loneliness, insecurity, and anxiety etc. This has resulted in a rapid increase in drug abuse, violence, and suicide amongst school-going children of all ages. What’s worse is that these issues often either get swept under the rug because of the fear of social rejection, mistaken for a lack of will, or ignored.
“Ignoring this problem will not make it go away, which is why we are looking to address it with our latest initiative, ‘The World of Children’. Through this unique, one-of-its-kind outreach programme, we are looking to encourage children from various socioeconomic backgrounds to openly discuss their problems with their peers and elders, and to find solutions to those problems through their own experiences, learning, and observations. This will not only help in raising greater awareness about the various issues that plague children today, but also in creating a supportive and nurturing environment that can help them in overcoming challenges, making the right life choices, and realising their true potential,” added Santanu.
Established in 2002 to effect a positive change at the grassroots level, Smile Foundation has been ceaselessly working towards alleviating the problems and challenges faced by underprivileged children, their families, and their communities. Smile Foundation has won widespread recognition and accolades for its pioneering work in the field of child empowerment over the years, engaging and empowering underprivileged children, youth and women through relevant education, innovative healthcare, and market-focussed livelihood programmes.

If you have a business of your own which you are keen to do as well as possible, there are many different approaches which you might find necessary. The truth is that running a business can be a surprisingly difficult venture, and it is always important to ensure that you know what you are doing. Something you will almost certainly always want to do is to be sure that you are finding ways to boost your business. This in itself can be tough, but it’s one of the most important things to try and do in any business, and as such it is worth remembering. Let’s look at three powerful ways to boost your business fast.
Relocate
Sometimes a business just becomes a little stagnant, for no particular reason. This can be the hardest of all, because it means that you are probably going to struggle to find a solution for the problem. However, you’re still open to being able to make other kinds of changes in business, the kind that are a good idea no matter what is going on. A great example is to simply relocate your business, either just across town or to another country altogether. Getting the help of Bekins Moving Solutions and relocating to another spot can be a surprisingly powerful way to give your business something of an immediate boost. However, be prepared to encounter a short period of upheaval, as moving your business can also take its toll.
Rebrand
Moving is not the only thing you can do to ensure your business remains in the limelight. Another hugely effective means of achieving the same ends is to rebrand your business in some way or another. The brand hugely affects the business, and it is necessary to find a brand image that really works. If you find yours is no longer that suitable, you might want to try and find a new way to display your business to the public and to the marketplace. With the right kind of branding, you can expect your business to suddenly improve hugely, so this is likely to be a highly important next step for you to take.
Restate
Your business needs to have some kind of a mission if it is to succeed, and as it turns out restating that mission can be a great way to boost the company fast. If you are finding that your business is not quite achieving its aims, the problem might in part be that you need to look at those aims. Consider going back to the drawing board and figuring out how you can restate your mission. If you manage to do this in the right way, it can easily mean that you end up with a much more successful business on your hands in no time.
The three above options are all useful if you need a sudden boost in business. But remember to also work on improving the way your business functions in the long term if you want to see real lasting success.
Many of us wonder if we have what it takes to run our own business. We think about what life would be like without a commute, without a boss hanging over our shoulder; a life where any profits we generate for the company go directly into our own pockets.
There is no magic recipe as to what makes a good entrepreneur; no guarantees. There are educated, intelligent people who on paper appear to be the best possible entrepreneur imaginable… and then they try, and fail. What tends to unite entrepreneurs isn’t background, history, education, or status– it’s more of a state of mind, a drive to succeed.
If you have ever wondered if you have the requisite qualities, then it’s worth perusing the list below to see if you think you have what it takes. Running a business can be wonderful, so if you recognise the qualities below in your personality, then you might just be able to run your own enterprise one day.
Entrepreneurs Are… Determined
If there is one quality that entrepreneurs have more than any other, it’s determination. The path of business does not always run smooth, so you need to have a huge amount of determination to ensure that you can overcome any issues and keep going in the face of adversity.
The source of your determination should be the idea you have; the promise of the business you want to run. If you truly believe in it, then you will be able to overcome all the obstacles, keep going even when times are rough, and work through any issues until you find a solution.
Entrepreneurs Are… Compassionate
A good entrepreneur needs to think of others, especially when it comes to their employees. Few entrepreneurs manage to achieve true success without cultivating a positive business culture; if no one wants to work for a company, then that company isn’t going to succeed.
Compassion is often overlooked as a business requirement, but it can make all the difference in the world to your chances of success. Your compassion should always guide you to make the right decisions for your employees, from making the choice to get a group medical insurance policy so you can ensure everyone has their healthcare needs covered, right through to how you deal with employees who are suffering through a stressful time. A clever, compassionate entrepreneur will be able to inspire others to want to do something positive for the business, meaning the overall chances of success are far greater.
Entrepreneurs Are… Clear-Minded
The one thing that an entrepreneur cannot afford to do is lose their cool. You have to be able to handle stressful situations and make big decisions without breaking a sweat, all the while continually focusing on the bigger picture. If you are prone to stress and fret when under pressure, you may struggle to make the clear-minded decisions that all good entrepreneurs need to be able to make.
In Conclusion
If you have the above three attributes, you may find that your dreams of business ownership are more achievable than you ever thought possible.

As women, it’s not always easy to feel good about yourself. In fact, more often than not, most of us feel quite bad. It’s just so much easier to be tough on yourself than it is to try and be kind to yourself. But sometimes, you have to be able to say enough is enough, and start being a bit nicer to yourself. However, if you’re not too happy in your body at the moment, this could be something that you actually find quite hard. So, you’re going to want to work on things that will help you to shake the negativity off.
And although this is easier said than done, being happy as you are doesn’t have to be a pipe dream. In fact, it doesn’t even have to be out of reach. You just need to know how to make it happen. Whether you’ve always felt self-conscious, or you’ve recently been through a rough patch, and you’re looking to move forward in a positive manner, each of these seven points should help you. So if you are ready to change the way you feel, let’s take a look at some of the things that could help you to feel great in the skin you were born into.
Think Positive
As hard as it can often seem, you’re going to want to make sure that you change your thought processes. When you’re so used to being negative about yourself, it’s not the easiest to suddenly be positive, but you should try to work on that if you want to feel good. By having a positive mindset, you should find that it’s easier for you to feel better about yourself. When you start to manage this, you should find everything that little bit better.
Compliment Yourself
As you start to get a little more positive about yourself, you’re going to want to start complimenting yourself. It might feel a bit strange at first, but you need to make sure that you’re happier in yourself. It might feel good to say to yourself that you look good in a certain dress, or that a lipstick color suits your skin tone. It might all seem a little strange at first, but before long you’ll definitely notice that you feel so much more confident in yourself.
Work Out
When you’re feeling down, you don’t always want to do this, but one thing’s for sure, working out is a great way to feel good in your skin. So think about getting in shape. Because when you start to work out a bit more, you will find that you get an endorphin rush, and it’s always hard not to feel amazing in your own skin when you’ve got endorphins rushing around your body.

Treat Yourself
You should also think about the things you can do to feel better about yourself too. When you’re wearing old clothes that no longer fit you, it’s going to affect your confidence. So, you need to think about investing in pieces that will make you feel good. Whether it’s something like dresses from Anthony’s, or an entire new outfit from one of your favorite local boutiques, go ahead. Because you need to feel good about yourself, and clothes can help with that.
Get Some Sleep
Another thing you should aim to do is to get enough sleep. Because when you’re not sleeping well, it will affect your frame of mind. However, when you’re able to sleep well, and get enough high quality of sleep at that, you should find that you can take on a more positive mindset so much more easily. And you should have more energy too – which will always make you feel good.
Don’t’ Make Comparisons
It’s so easy to compare yourself to others. But this isn’t always great for your self-esteem. Instead of making comparisons with celebrities or your friends, you need to feel good in yourself. So stop putting yourself down. Focus on the things you do like about yourself, and work on the things you don’t. Because comparisons don’t make changes, actions do!
Eat Well
Finally, you might also want to think about trying to eat a little better too. Again, this isn’t always something you feel like doing when you’re down. But it will make you feel better in the long run. There are certain foods that can help you feel better. And although you may be craving junk right now, it’s only going to make you feel worse about yourself. So try to avoid rubbish when you’re feeling rubbish and you should be okay.
