Seven Best Ways to
Start a New Year…
Start New Year feeling happy, fresh & ready to take on
whatever life throws at you! Now, I am sure that is how we’d all want to start
a new year. Am I right? Well, I have a couple of suggestions for you today; a
few ideas that could help you start New Year feeling better than ever! So, here
we go:
1st. REORGANIZE YOUR WORKING OR LIVING SPACE
Start New Year fresh by implementing some changes into your
living or working area and you’ll really manage to put yourself in that “new
year- new challenges – new opportunities” mood! Move the furniture around,
reorganize your home décor and get the apartment to the point where it looks so
new and interesting that you get surprised every time you walk in. Your new
environment will remind you that something has indeed changed and, although
this change is nothing more but a new calendar page, you will really feel
different and be more inspired to move forward and achieve the goals you’ve set
for yourself in the New Year.
2nd. PAMPER YOURSELF
A new year is a new start, so in order for it to be fresh,
you absolutely must pamper yourself a little bit. Change your hair color in
case that’s something you’ve been wanting to do for a while, invest in that
must-have piece you’ve been eyeballing the whole month or simply try out a few
homemade facials. And don’t forget a long, soothing bubble bath and a low fat
chocolate desert either!
3rd. DO SOMETHING CREATIVE AND INSPIRING
Finding something inspiring and creative to do is one of the
best ways to start New Year, not only because these activities are fun but also
because they will make you happier, more relaxed and able to think outside the
box like never before! Find a peaceful beautiful place for meditation if you
are suffering from a lot of stress, read a new book or maybe an old classic if
your profession requires quick thinking and creative responses or simply enjoy
something you used to love but didn’t get to do for a long time.
4th. DON’T FORGET YOUR RESOLUTION
A round of holiday cheer, a few days of rest and then it is
back to work! Now, I am sure you have a lot of very nice goals set up for this
New Year just as I am sure that you won’t even remember them until next
December. Well, it is time to turn things around and start New Year with your
New Year Resolution plans already in progress! Think of it as a list of
groceries you’ll need to buy, carry it in your wallet and do everything you can
right now, while the decision to change things is still fresh in your mind. If
your goal is to read more, stop to the library or bookstore and get yourself an
impressive pile of books you won’t be able to resist, if your goal is to lose
weight stop by the gym and pay the membership 3 months in advance simply
because you know that’s a substantial sum you won’t be able to forget or waste
by not going.
5th. START A NEW TRADITION
Traditions are the best part of every celebration and even
celebrations themselves are basically traditions. So, why not start your own
family tradition? Make a treasure chest, predictions chest or maybe even
accomplishments chest to slowly fill up with everything you’d want to remember
next year. And when it’s time to celebrate the ending of this year, you’ll have
another box to open and either laugh reading random predictions, smile while remembering
the year’s highlights or feel proud when reminded of all of the things you’ve
accomplished during the year.
6th. DISCOVER YOURSELF
I believe every person has dozens of different hidden talents
that are just waiting for their chance to come out and I’d really like to
encourage you to start New Year with exploring different parts of your
wonderful personalities. Draw, sing, dance, write, even check out a few arts
and crafts tutorials and try to make something interesting on your own.
Surprise yourself!
7th. MAKE A VISION BOARD
The so-called Visiting Board is a very popular way to start
New Year feeling motivated so if you still haven’t made your own board, I
suggest you give it a shot. You can make a real-life board to pin all the
inspiring images onto or opt for a virtual one to keep your in your
goal-getting mood all year round.
Well, these are my ideas on how to start New Year and now
it’s time for you ladies to share yours! Which inspiring activities will help
you start New Year feeling fresh, ready to keep the good things going on and
force the bad ones out of your life for good?
