New Year's resolutions are always a hot topic of conversation when January rolls around. Give up smoking, lay off the lagers, run the London Marathon, call your mother more often ? no matter what your vices or personal aspirations, there is nothing like the clean slate of a brand new year to truly get you motivated. Below are a few ideas if you're looking for inspiration.
H2O Hydration

Aka "drink more water"! This season, do yourself a favour and start with a simple promise to bypass those sweet, sugary and caffeinated drinks (yes, we know ? also yummy) which are so popular for quick-fix energy boosts. Good old H2O is really a far healthier choice for your body and negates the artificial highs and lows caused by sugar/caffeine-laden beverages. It's also delicious and very thirst-quenching. True story.

Get Physical

Getting fit is of all people's hit list in the beginning of the year, but in the event that you spend all day doing delivery work, it's a lot more important. Spending all day crunched up in the cab of a lorry could be tough on your own body and, while promising to go to the gym every day will be ideal, everybody knows that it's not likely to happen. But even the tiniest effort can make an impact. Each and every time you stop, enter the habit of stretching your legs, arms, neck and back (Google some simple yoga exercises for inspiration), and go for a short walk to really get your muscles moving. Commit to doing this for a couple of days, and we promise that you will see the results. Then commit to per year of it... and watch your life change.

Look at this: if your job does delivery work, your eyes are actually the main assets. So that it follows that looking after them should be a priority. Make this year time for you to have your eyes tested (whether you already wear glasses or contacts), because your vision can change dramatically over the course of per year ? especially with the strain of long hours on the highway. But even if you've still got 20/20 eyesight, you will need to deal with it, so make full use of eye drops, wear UV protective sunglasses and continue the vision-friendly nutrition, like green leafy veggies and fish oil. Salmon pie ? get it?

Phone Home

There's no shame in calling family and friends for a few support when you're on the highway. In fact, it's important for the mental health, so ensure it is a point to call home regularly. With today's hi-tech communication methods, it is possible to take your pick of video chatting, FaceTiming, texting, Snapchatting, Tweeting, WhatsApping and any other of a plethora of social media channels.

Make 2018 Accident-Free

It's a big ask, but a worthy resolution. The most crucial commitment that one could make this year would be to take responsibility for every road user's safety. When you can't control anyone else's driving, you certainly can control your own while you're doing your delivery work, so follow the rules to a tee, do your entire pre-trip inspections, keep your distance and utilise impeccable etiquette on the highway. Put simply, use your head, keep your cool and toe the line.

New Year, New Inspirations

If you earn a living doing delivery work, your personal health, safety and comfort on the road are the perfect place to start looking for inspiration for your resolutions. You know you intend to, so? ready, steady, start resolving!
