Every New Year is like a clean board and slate on which people write their future. From job switches to learning new languages, a New Year vision board can contain anything under the face of Earth. But sometimes, people only dream and think about the things they wish to achieve instead of taking active steps in that direction. For example, a person who wishes to lose weight just writes down a diet chart but does not follow it. Similarly, a person who wishes to switch their job, only talks to their friends about it without taking any steps in upskilling and the likes. So, here we mention 7 things to start doing now for an abundant 2025.
Meditations are one of the most powerful and calming ways to set the right tone for the year ahead. Meditating does not just calm the mind, but also makes you more open to things, feelings, and helps with coping too. And the best part is that meditating is not a time or money consuming hobby! It can be done in the comfort of the room, and for free too. Just find a quiet space, sit comfortably, focus on your breath, and follow along the videos available online for free.As you meditate, you will slowly see changes within you as you start making better decisions, your mind will be less cluttered, the overwhelming feelings will vanish away, and more.
Another excellent habit to take up before the New Year starts is to start journaling and writing your feelings and thoughts down as much as you can. By putting your thoughts on paper, you will be clearer about your goals, will be able to track your progress through the months, and best of all, it will help you process any difficult emotions that hit you on the way. Everyday, write the things you are grateful for, write the ones that upset you, talk about how you are closer to your goals, and also what you would do better or change the next day.
It is best to enter 2025 with a fit mind, and a fit body. And if HIITs, cardio workouts, and picking up dumbbells does not excite you, try adding some Yoga to your routine. It is slow, controlled, and a perfect low-intensity activity to transform someone into a better version of themselves. To improve your posture, form, and strength over time, start with simple yoga poses like the ‘Baalasana’, or the cat-cow stretch, or the ‘Trikonasana’, and the likes.
Visualisation is one of the best ways to prepare yourself and your year ahead with happiness and abundance. It is the perfect means to manifest all your desires, and imagine the perfect life. It is believed that when people make their subconscious imagine and affirm the right things for their future, especially the ones that will benefit them, over time these desires turn into reality.
The forgiving and forgetting should be completed by 2024 so that you can enter 2025 with a fresh, new, and free energy. Why? Primarily because by carrying unresolved conflicts and grudges people only weigh themselves down emotionally and mentally. So, start 2025 with a clean slate, and apologise to people you did wrong with, and forgive the ones who did you wrong.
For a prosperous and abundant New Year, it might be a good option to upskill yourself before 2024 to invite more money and prosperity into the year. This new skill could be something that gives your career and job opportunities a boost, or it could be something you do for fun. Make sure that you choose and learn a skill that will help you somewhere down the line be it from a job opportunity or helping another person with what you have learnt.
While this might not be everyone’s cup of tea, if you believe in rituals for money, love, and the likes, it would be good to get into them before the new year begins. For example, some people believe that keeping a stick of cinnamon in the money vault invites more money, others believe that sprinkling cinnamon powder into the home entrance of the first day of every month invites money, and there are many more personal rituals that people do. So, if you believe in these, start doing them for a prosperous and abundant year ahead.
