WAYS TO SET A REFRESHING TONE FOR THE NEW YEAR

Added on: 1st Jan 2017

 

CHOOSE A WORD OF THE YEAR

Love this post from @byobeloved. So many good words!

Choose one word that will set the tone for 2017. Think of it

like a chapter heading for the book that is your life.

Print this word out and place it in a part of your

room that you will see every day.

 

 

BE GRATEFUL

Spend some time focusing on gratitude. You can

write in a journal or thank a friend who helped

you during a tough time.

 

 

ATTEND A RELIGIOUS SERVICE OR HAVE YOUR

OWN SPIRITUAL CELEBRATION

Whether it's a candlelit service at a church or a guided meditation

at a local Buddhist centre, New Year is a good chance to

explore the spiritual offerings in your neighbourhood.

 

 

TAKE A MINDFULNESS WALK

Step away from whatever screen you're looking at and

take a short walk outside. Focus on your five senses

and enjoy being alive.

 

 

WRITE A LETTER TO YOURSELF
Start a New Year's Tradition of writing a letter to yourself, to open the following year on New Year's Eve.

Start a New Year's Tradition of writing a letter to yourself,

Store it away in a safe place, to be opened at the end

of 2017.

7. MAKE A "REMEMBER-LUTIONS" JAR


Here's What You Should Do Instead Of Making New Year's Resolutions: Rememberlutions. Such a nice idea!

Instead of focusing on goal-oriented New Year's resolution, fill a

jar with notes about your favourite memories and

accomplishments over the course of 2017.

 

 

REMIND YOURSELF TO BE HAPPY ALL YEAR

Choose one random day every month to do something that

makes you happy, whether it's treating yourself to a facial or

cooking a dish you've been meaning to try. Use a calendar

app to schedule these good intentions on New Year's Day and

throughout 2017, the reminders will give you permission

to step away from your busy life.

 

 

DO A VIDEO INTERVIEW WITH A LOVED ONE
Love this idea - interview your kids every New Year. Ask them the same questions, then watch their answers change as they get older. So fun.

Make a list of questions that you and your kids (or your significant

other, best friends or parents) can answer every New Year's Day.

Tape the interview and make sure to keep the tradition going

every year to see how your answers change.
