I hope you can all take a moment, perhaps a few hours, to be alone and find time to reflect on the past year and create plans for 2016. Here are seven ideas for ringing in this new year in a healthy and happy way:
Take a walk outside in nature to enjoy the precious hours of sunlight
Buy a new journal for 2016 and decide how frequently you'd like to write
Sign up for a class or a yoga teacher training
Donate money or time to a charity you feel passionate about
Meditate at home or in a pleasant space you love
Create a themed vision board for your life in 2016
Buy a new cookbook and invite friends and loved ones over for a healthy dinner
All these ideas can also be enjoyed with others in your life. Sharing what you love is another way to strengthen your own values. And, if you find a great cookbook, please make sure to share it with me!
