Don't give something up, start something new!

New Year's resolutions are often difficult to keep and they don't bring us joy. In Ding, we have binned all our new year’s resolutions to start our own New You Revolution!

Staying in touch with your loved ones can be hard, so we have some ideas for your own New You Revolution. Things that will make you happy and help you share a little joy too.

Here’s what we suggest:

📖Virtual storytime

Once or twice a month you choose a book and have a video call with a niece, nephew, sibling or any little one who would enjoy it. You read, they enjoy, their parents relax!

Walk & talk 🗣

After a day at work, going for a walk can really help you unwind. Why not use that time to call someone you love. Exercise and talking are both great for your mental health!

🌳 Family tree

Researching your family tree is a great excuse to chat, especially with those aunties, uncles or cousins that you rarely get to talk to! We bet the stories will be great too.

Virtual cook 🍽

Whether it’s Mama, Grandpa or your sister, learn your family recipes from the best! Do a virtual cook and enjoy spending time reminiscing together.

🗨 Interview the wise

Get a different perspective and share some smiles. Call an elderly loved one and ask them 3 questions about their life, loves and greatest joys.

Pictures of love ❤️

Make a date once a month with your family to have a video call and take it in turns to do a slideshow of photos. They can be recent pictures or old memories.

We'd love to hear your suggestions and they could inspire others too! We hope you continue sharing joy with the ones you love. Don’t forget to share what you’re doing with us on Facebook or Instagram too.
