Five ways Alexa New Years Eve Skills can help you achieve your New Year's resolutions

Enable these Alexa skills on your Amazon Echo and reap significant benefits in 2022.

Do you always need help keeping your New Year's resolutions? Do you plan every January to improve your diet, exercise more, or save money but give up before the end of the year? You're not alone. A 2019 Statista survey conducted in the US found that only 9% of those surveyed said they never break their resolutions.

Keeping your promise to yourself would be easier if you had a little nonjudgmental help. That's where Alexa comes in. Here are some ways to use Alexa to make your New Year's resolutions stick.

Alexa can stop that bad habit.

Use the Talk Me Down skill when you have a moment of weakness. The goal of the skill is to talk you out of breaking your resolution.

After enabling the skill, say, "Alexa, talk me down," and she'll give you a motivational pep talk that will help you drop the fork, push away the pack of cigarettes, or re-cork the bottle. It sounds cheesy, but it can help.

Alexa can help you have better mornings.

If you resolve to be more productive and positive in the morning (guilty!), you may find the My Morning skill helpful. It uses minute-long prompts to guide you through a wake-up routine.

For example, Minute 1 could include silence or meditation, Minute 2 could be a prompt to visualize your day, Minute 3 could ask you to think of five things you're grateful for, Minute 4 could have you list your top three priorities for the day, and so on. It's Alexa getting your rear in gear with some motivational techniques.

Alexa can help you save the planet.

Taking better care of the Earth is always a great resolution. One step you can start this January is taking shorter showers to conserve water and electricity.

The Shower Timer skill tracks your time in the shower and challenges you to beat your daily record. It makes a game out of being greener.
