New Year’s Resolutions – Short Courses Available

Include Prue Leith’s Short Courses in your New Year’s Resolutions

Did you make New Year’s resolutions for 2017? Have you persevered and stuck to them – thus far? Or have you quit and given up on your good intentions? Don’t worry; you’re not alone. People have been making and breaking New Year’s resolutions ever since the days of the ancient Babylonians and Romans.

Changing Ways

If you’re unhappy or dissatisfied with any aspects of your life, you may resolve to address these issues by making a commitment to change your ways and do better in the New Year, which is a time for new beginnings and a fresh chance to live a better life, as it were. The New Year is a thus regarded as a time to improve, grow, and advance. In certain circumstances, such as breaking a nicotine habit or losing weight (two of the most commonplace resolutions), you need a considerable amount of self-discipline and determination to succeed. Established patterns of behaviour are notoriously hard to cast aside. Deliberately changing one’s habits by replacing them with a new, healthy activity or interest is a recommended, effective way of breaking a longstanding habit while also improving your quality of life.

Take Short Courses

It’s not a magic bullet, because no such thing exists, but here’s a self-improvement suggestion – take one or more of the short courses that are available at Prue Leith Chefs Academy. Make these fun programmes part of your New Year’s resolutions and embark on a whole new chapter of your life and lifestyle. You may regard short culinary courses as therapy, a way to learn how to prepare and eat healthier, more interesting, and tastier meals, or you and your group of friends may simply want to share a new hobby and set of skills.
