Seasonal greeting to all! Now let’s be honest here. Some of us Over the festive period may have over spent or… under spent oops! And guess what? You may be feeling grumpy and most likely can’t wait for the month of January to be over and of course very fast! This may explain the phase “January is always a long month” .I share here with love this list and I hope you will find a few helpful tips to kick start your New Year
“Talking of Pleasure, this moment I was writing with one hand, and with the other holding to my Mouth a Nectarine — how good how fine. It went down all pulpy, slushy, oozy, all its delicious embonpoint melted down my throat like a large, beautified Strawberry”~ John Keats
1, Pamper your body ; with the finest nourishing foods out there and basically learn to enjoy the pleasure of eating slowly.
2, Review your diet(s) ; eliminate what you don’t need to be consuming .It is important to understand the link between a healthy body and mental well being.
3, Walk ; It is impossible to walk rapidly and be unhappy~ Mother Teresa.
4, Water ; water is life’s mater and matrix, mother and medium. There is no life without water~ Albert Szent-Gyorgyi. Nourish and hydrate your body with water every day.
5, Bounce ; Yes bounce! I discovered the benefits of bouncing every day and it has no age barrier. Grab yourself a rebounder it has many great health benefits such boosting the lymphatic and immune system and it is fun.
6, Find your passion and find a mentor: We learn from those who have been there, done it and worn the t-shirt.
7, Keep a journal; Yesterday I was so excited going out just to buy a journal because I know the benefits of keeping one.
8 ,Write down your goals; break them down into long, medium and short term goals, review them as needed and don’t forget to take action!
9, Show gratitude ;Gratitude is riches. Complaint is poverty ~Doris Day
10, Think deeply ; we cannot solve our problems with the same pattern of thinking that created it. Think in order to interject courage, determination and discipline into any situation that needs attending too.
11, Look for a New hobby ; you mostly likely would be amazed of what you are capable of
12, Ask yourselves ; what you can do for your community? I am talking about voluntary work if you are able…. find out how you can help.
13, Rekindle relationships; with old pals mend relationship that may need mending and move on .
14, Forgive ; It a new year a fresh start .
15, Laugh More ; it is a universal medicine and is free.
16, Look in to your spiritual life and continually enrich it as needed, if you don’t have one you could build one.
17, Take Advantage of the New year; is that it’s an opportunity to make a new start and we have 365 days to do that.. So, Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right ~ Oprah Winfrey.
18, Learn; Mother told me that we learn every day even when we are old.
19, Money Management; I am not an expert in this area but I am sure you will benefit from tapping into resources to help you address this area as needed.
20, Save; I have created a habit of sticking money into jars everyday this is aside from putting money into the bank. I am sure we can all do this even if it’s a penny. The Idea is to create a habit of saving.
21, Relax and appreciate people around you including your family.

Great ideas for a Happy New Year, especially the spiritual one. Spend more time with God this year.
All good tips to follow throughout the year!
These are all great. I like the last one. Relax! I need to do that more. My biggest goal is to be “present” wherever I am. I tend to always be thinking ahead trying to plan, etc.
Happy New Year!
Bounce? Really?
Rachel
@Jackie May God Bless you for Sharing his wonderful words. Hey @ Rachel Yes Bounce! All you need as I have mentioned is a rebounder (mini trampoline) that you can fit indoors and use at least daily . I Love bouncing as its not only fun but has many health benefits and suits all ages. Just google in Rebounder and don’t forget to check out the health benefits.@ One of the Guy Great! We obviously all need to recharge our batteries on most occasions to get the best from what is ahead of us. Good Luck @Lynda Thanks for stopping by and your Comment ……. And Happy New Year
Hey Fatima. Nice list here! It’s a great way to start out the year. But the thing is… I don’t want January to end. It’s the month of my birthday…
Oh, I forgot to mention. Thanks for posting this!
Hi Fatima a very motivating post! I really enjoy #18- Learn. It is important for us to learn from the past and move on. Thanks for helping to get my year started off right
Love the List Fatima! Full of great tips….Will surely help me to focus better int he new year
Thank you for this.
Much Love

p.s.stumbled…
Great suggestions, one and all. I particularly resonated to “bounce”, as I’m a retired gymnast couch and never once saw a child unhappy bouncing on a trampoline
I did walk yesterday — on one of our coldest days! I walked so fast Mother Theresa must’ve been up there cheering with the angels for me.
And guess what @Hulbert I am also a January child ….so that makes two of us…Thanks for stopping by. Happy Birthday In Advance ..


Thanks @ Carlo St JusteII …… It’s an existential way of thinking to take lesson from the past to move on into the future… and “Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere” ~Chinese Proverb
@Zeenat{Positive Provocations} Thanks for stopping by and Sharing ….you are Awesome
Thanks @NP love your valid point about bouncing
@Jannie I bet she was.. you are ever so funny with a great sense of humour …It’s cold over here too with temperatures of about -10, but the snow looks lovely and my walking boots just about needs replacing .
Your site is very good. You have a great list of things to start the year off with. I like the water idea I was not a big water drinker, but since I have started to drink water I fill a lot better and my skin is a lot better. Keep up the good work your blog will help a great number of people.
Thanks alot @Eugene I had to train by taste buds to get use to drinking water as suppose to fizzy drinks and the benefits’ one of which you have mentioned are outstanding
Great ideas, although I’ll be lucky if I follow more than 3 of them on account of my terrible self-control. Roll on February I say!
In all seriousness, I particularly like number 21, everything is liable to change but family should always stick together.
