9 Ways To Welcome New Year

It is believed that whatever you do on a new year day, you keep on doing that throughout the following year. This may sound illogical to some. Anyhow we must welcome the new year with all the happiness. This fact surely has a psychological effect. Being positive always pays back. So if you have not planned what you are going to do at the coming weekend, which ends an year and starts a new one, plan with me. You can go the usual way to spend your new year’s eve and the following day, or approach something unusual.

The Usuals

Attend a party

The very first thing comes in one’s mind about new year is to party until and beyond the new year hour. So if you are party animal, get hold on the popular party places in the town before it’s too late. City clubs, restaurants and even malls organise new year events. Find an event suiting your mood & the kind of company you have. Check online event websites like nearbuy.com, zomato.com, timeanddate.com, burp.com etc and book your tickets. The tickets might be ranging from 500 to 10000 bucks depending on the reputation of the organiser and the attendees. Make sure to check the attendee types allowed. Some events are only for couples while some events allow stags also. Have a fun night ahead.

Check into a Resort

Resorts are a nice way to chillax away from the city trolls. Another interesting way to start your new year. From last few years, resorts are so into planning events on almost every big festival/event of the year. You might spot some celebrities at these resorts. You can either choose to be just at the out skirt of your city, or something more divine like Himalayas or a beach. It does not matter if you are travelling alone or with a family, you can have your share of fun. Just check the online event websites and you can explore your options according to your budget.

Plan your own party

If you have lots of friends and a nice place for gatherings, plan your own party. Invite only whom you want to see and spend time with. Choose a theme, retro, bollywood, black and white, classic anything you want. Don’t forget the food to match your theme. Get some party poppers, confetti, balloons and drinks. Plan out some fun games like bursting off balloons, paper dance, musical chair or something more fun. As the clock joins hands at 12:00 clock, pop a big party balloon containing lots of confetti. Put your mind at work and be creative with party ideas. You are the host, you can control it your own way, that’s the beauty of throwing a party by yourself.

Make a practical new year resolution list

We all take new year resolutions, but not every body manages to keep them. The reason is that we become really unfair to our capabilities, routines and hard on ourselves. Take new year resolutions this year too, but a practical one. So that you can keep it through out the new year and not just for few days. The most common resolution we take is to eat healthy and exercise. But it’s quite vague. Be specific, what you are going to do. Maybe you can make out a list of the particular food item you want to eat or to avoid. Make a point to walk more and indulge in more physical activities. Your resolution can be anything, but make sure to get into detail and decide your every day activity accordingly.

The Unusual

Make someone happy

If you are open to new ideas and noble cause, how about visiting an orphanage/old age home or an animal shelter to spend your new year eve/day with the needy ones. It will give you immense pleasure to you and to the people at the receiving end of your time and energy.

Donate what you do not need any more

We always keep on shopping. We always update our wardrobes with currently-in fashion. How about taking the last years’ pile of warm clothes to the needy ones. You will find numerous of such people lying on the roads with hope in their eyes. Just smile at them and give them the warmth of your clothes and love. Imaging the moment.

Make up with a lost connection

There are some people we were once very close, but somehow our busy lives shook the bond between us. How about re-connecting with them? Sometimes there are just misunderstanding and may be you gave up too easily. Try again while saying good bye to the previous year. Just try to start a new chapter with those people, you feel are worth having in your life again.

There are some relationships which are close to your heart, and you never intend to hurt them, but you somehow messed up. Gather some courage and stand up to your mistakes. Say sorry. You will be fine.

Organize your room and your surround

If you still have not found anything interesting to do on new years eve/day, how about giving a make over to your room/ any area of your house. You do not need to buy new stuff. Just rearrange the stuff you already own and feel the new energy in your life. Welcome new year with new surroundings.

Plant a tree

I feel there is nothing better than starting a new year with a new life around you. A new plant, will make you feel alive, happy and keep you accompanied. If you do not have much space for a tree, just plant a flower/herb in your kitchen/balcony garden. Care for it, and see how beautiful it turns out for you.

That’s all my 2 cents. Hope you found some logical idea here. Do you have some new idea to start your new year? Let me know. I am all ears.
