A New Year, A New You, is what we say! Our team compiled a Recipe to Kickstarting a Beautiful 2017, that has helped each of us live a more Hakuna Matata life. Without delay;
Plan For The Year Ahead.
Think about short term and long term goals and resolutions. Establish a routine, and get an awesome calendar. You will become well organized, set deadlines. Try to “eat the frog” first. Focus on what you want, and put your energy into attaining it.
Be Grateful For Your Intangibles
Some say happiness is what you make if it, we say that happiness is gratitude; it is as simple as being grateful for the intangibles things we are blessed with. #family #love #peace #friends #education #career #health #relationships. These are often things we take for granted.
Mix And Mingle In The Flesh
Try to mix and mingle in the flesh, rather than on the phone. Join a few networking groups in your city to meet new faces and expand your personal store of knowledge.
Digital Detox
When tempted to pull out your phone or tablet, reach for a good book instead. Head on over to your nearest bookstore or library and work your way through a list of the best reads.
Que Sera, Sera
Practice mindfulness by being in and staying in the moment. Stop worrying about uncertainty, stop dwelling in the past, and don’t worry about the future. Que sera, sera: What will be, will be. Is it really worth all the worry? No.
Make A Timeline
Write down a timeline of some of your highlights you’ve achieved, or places traveled for every year you have lived so you can look back at it every year.
De-Clutter Both Home And Body
It is still January, detox your life, and your body. You can practice “Dry-January”, by going alcohol free for a month, after all the parties have now subdued. Sell or donate your unwanted clothes. Think of healthier ways to achieve a buzz with matcha green tea, fresh vegetables, and home-cooking instead of with caffeine and alcohol. See here for some stellar ideas.
Start Booking Trips And Vacations
Flights tend to be less expensive during this month. Plan a couple of weekend getaways with family, friends and loved ones.
Give Back
There is nothing like the feeling of helping others by giving of your time, talent, or treasure. Change always starts small.
Start a healthy workout routine and STICK to it.
2 Words: Class Pass. Load up on healthy snacks and probiotics. Curate a killer, upbeat playlist to fuel your workout. Get an Equinox or SoulCycle membership to see if you’re all about the craze.
Treat Yourself
With that being said, eat clean, but treat yo-self.: Yes, snag a chocolate croissant on your way to work once in a way.
Meditate
Meditate by downloading apps like iCalm, taking classes or checking into a meditation spa.
Do Something That Scares You
Even if you try a new cuisine! Go vegetarian for a week. Go skydiving. Try camping and bring only the essentials. Pick up an instrument. Do something that scares you to remind yourself that you can overcome whatever you set your mind to do.
