We made it through the summer holidays and set our intentions, declaring that 2024 will be different. With the first month of the new year already behind us, the enthusiasm and vehemence of our New Year's resolutions might be starting to wane, and old habits may be creeping back in.
But all is not lost. Here are five 5 things you can do to ensure that when the end of 2024 rolls around, you can look back on the year with a sense of pride, satisfaction and fulfilment.
