New Year Resolutions - make 'em stick!

Happy New Year!

It's that time of the year again, when everything seems brand new and hopeful, and everybody seems to be inspired to better their lives in some way.

While working towards your goal, it is important to maintain morale by giving yourself treats.

A treat is not a reward. A treat is something nice you give yourself for no reason other than to make yourself feel happy. A reward is something to be earned.

Because the mental willpower required to build or change a habit is exhaustible, it is essential that this power source is topped up, and what better way to do it than in the form of treats?

Little treats like scented candles, music and scheduling time to relax in bed work. But there are a few tricky areas - food, shopping and watching TV are treats which can easily extend beyond treat territory and end up causing guilt for people.

Telling yourself that you are enjoying a treat in the form of [insert your treat here] also serves to enhance the experience.

NexPay's New Year Resolution for 2015 remains the same - to make international student payments more affordable for students! We have exciting plans for this year so make sure you're following us on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Weibo and LinkedIn!
