New Year’s Resolution: Make Your Home More Secure

What are your New Year’s resolutions this year? As usual, just about everyone is recommitting to losing weight by eating healthier and exercising more. Many are adding spirituality goals to their list this year, whether that’s meditating, reading inspirational texts, doing yoga, or simply resolving to take some deep breaths at various intervals throughout each day. Parents are resolving to yell less and laugh with their kids more, and try to keep the clutter at a reasonable level to enjoy being at home more fully.

But are you considering any goals that are a bit more out-of-the-box? Perhaps you could up your game with your dieting resolutions by committing to eliminate potatoes, cookies, or chips from your diet completely for 2016. Or maybe commit to do something that scares you in 2016 to broaden your horizons – go bungee jumping, learn to ride a unicycle, or drive a racecar. Whatever inspires you and gets you excited about 2016, go for it! Seize the day.

Another resolution that’s off the beaten path is to make your home safer. Many of us have a little niggling worry in our heads that our homes aren’t as protected as they should be.
