Relaxing in the New Year


The first day of the New Year can be spent making new habits. Changing your perception about how you perceive life. The difficult challenges in life are having acceptance of who you are because of what society demands and their convictions. Due to stereotypes and misunderstandings, one must accept themselves and follow one’s instincts. The New Year is always a wonderful time to be open to possibilities without having any doubts about what is going to occur next in your life. 

Moreover, the new year is a time to establish new ways of thinking and find more meaning in life. Relaxing in the new year makes one more resilient and more capable of becoming a better person. One must eliminate stereotypes that society has implemented. Every new day brings new encounters where one must surpass the labels that people put on our minds. As a result of these labels, there is so much hatred, bitterness, and unwelcome feelings toward others. 

Therefore, one must put into practice more self-love as someone once told me. Training yourself to love yourself and to love others. Even if you fully accept yourself, it is best to practice self-love, and self-care, and to have good thoughts toward everyone. Not to fake your feelings and thoughts but to genuinely feel present with the knowledge of what you are doing. Stop seeing and doing things as a chore. 

To be pessimistic all the time is so dangerous to your mind and body. Although it is inevitable to avoid pessimistic people in your life, one must not allow it to cloud your mind and heart. Living with pessimistic people makes you feel destructive about yourself. Even if you are not a spiritual or religious person, you must live life with respect, and satisfaction. One must live with composure, patience, and with responsibility for our actions. 

According to Norman Vincent Peale, " Learn to relax. Your body is precious, as it houses your mind and spirit. Inner peace begins with a relaxed body." Once you are relaxed, your body and mind come together with greater strength to think more clearly when making important decisions. In addition to practicing self-love and self-care, one must practice self-gratitude. Also, practice gratitude with others with compassion and with nonjudgmental thoughts. Here is a brief list of how to relax throughout the new year.

  1. Write down your anger and other negative thoughts in your journal instead of yelling at others.
  2. Do self-care whenever it is possible to feel refreshed and to feel calmer.
  3. Donate your time, your used clothes, and other materials to charitable foundations.
  4. Declutter your home, your office, and feel serene.
  5. Forgive yourself for all your unruly behavior, errors, and bad comments.
  6. Forgive others, especially the ones that you consider your friends.
  7. Allow yourself to feel at peace with yourself.
  8. Remind yourself that no one can fix your problems but yourself.
  9. Practice using positive affirmations, positive quotes, and do hobbies with positivity.
  10. Always remember to say thank you, please, and you’re welcome throughout the year.

Relaxing is more than self-care, self-love, and self-gratitude; it is a necessary aspect for any lifestyle. It has to be done every day in order to feel accomplished, make better decisions, and to enjoy life. Keep on learning how to relax to feel good about yourself.
