As we say goodbye to the old year and hello to the new, many of us make resolutions and set intentions for the upcoming 365 days. But let’s be real, by February, most of us have forgotten all about those good intentions and are back to our old ways. So, this year, let’s try something different: let’s focus on bringing positive energy to the new year.
First things first, let’s set the scene. Imagine yourself in a dark, dreary room. The curtains are closed, and the only light is coming from a dim lamp in the corner. Now, imagine throwing open the curtains and letting the sunshine in. Instantly, the room is brighter, and you feel more awake and alive. That’s the power of positive energy.
So, how do we bring positive energy into our lives this year (and every year, for that matter)? Here are some tips:
- Surround yourself with positive people. These are the people who lift you up, not bring you down. Find a group of friends, family, or even co-workers who are always full of good vibes, and spend time with them as often as you can. These are the Marigolds, as some would say.
- Practice gratitude. Every day, take a moment to think about the things you are grateful for. It can be something as simple as the warm sun on your face or the delicious cup of coffee you just had. Just take a moment every day to say: “wow, that’s good”. Focusing on the good things in your life will help attract more positive energy.
- Get moving. Exercise is a great way to boost your energy levels and improve your mood. Whether it’s going for a run, taking a yoga class, or even just going for a walk, getting your body moving will help bring positive energy into your life. Five-minute dance party, anyone?
- Be kind to yourself. Treat yourself like you would treat your best friend. Be gentle and forgiving with yourself, and remember that it’s okay to make mistakes. This is especially true during stressful times. Give yourself patience and acknowledge
- Let go of negative thoughts and people. This can be hard, but it’s essential for bringing positive energy into your life. Let go of negative thoughts and feelings, and release any negative people from your life. You deserve to surround yourself with positivity.
The New Year is a time for new beginnings, and what better way to start fresh than by bringing positive energy into your life. So, let’s do this – open those curtains, let the sunshine in, and brighten up your life with intention.
