8 Fresh start Ideas for a happier New Year

Hello 2016 goodbye 2015! So it’s the New Year and this means it’s time for a new fresh start with a happier year to come, so let’s get rid of the old and in with the new. So the main plan for this year is to basically be and make myself and the atmosphere around me positive and happy by pushing all the negatives out and all the positives in to create the best 2016 I possibly can. And how am I going to do this can I hear you say? 

Well here are 8 fresh start ideas I'm going to attempt:

1. It's time to get rid of those unwanted clothes you don't wear

Now we all do this and if you know me well enough I’m the worst at it, we all buy hundreds of new clothes every year for all the different seasons with that intention of wearing them one day and then by the end of the year they are still sitting in the closet with the price tag still attached.

 But not no more it’s time to clean the closet of all those items that you just don’t wear whether it’s because they don’t fit you, suit you or you just don’t like the look of them anymore, give them to charity or even pass them on to someone you know will like then and get some wear out them. The feeling you will get once it’s all cleared and sorted is amazing, you’ll be able to see what you can wear each day and wear it with a smile.

2. Organization of emails/photos/online profiles:

Let’s start with cleaning and organising your emails now if you are like me you will have signed up to all these fashion / shopping website and get hundreds of emails daily with offers of what’s new and what’s in the sale.  So why not either delete them or create a folder just for the site that’s you want to keep because you have seen something of interest on the email.  Why not create folders for all of your emails so then when you go into your emails it’s not a shock when there 350 in there it will be looking all neat and tidy which should leave you feeling cleansed.

How about spending a little bit of time on your online profiles delete the ones you don’t use anymore or even go on, look through your Facebook and see if you have any friends you don’t really know or talk to anymore maybe adjust your Instagram settings. 

Clean up your phone photos save all the photos you want to keep in a folder on your laptop/pc and free up some space on your phone, maybe print out the photos you want from Instagram.

3.       Take control of all your relationships:

Let’s start with friends it’s time to have a close look at what your friendships are really like ask yourself these few questions . Do the friends you associate with support you and inspire you to better yourself? Are they fun to be around? Do you look up to them and respect them? If the answer to those three questions is no then maybe it’s time to let those friendship’s go and start fresh.  As we all have those friends have to have a downer on life and suck the energy out of everything  which will bring yourself down as well, I mean I’m not saying have a massive fall out and never speak to them again but maybe just limit yourself to how much you hang out with them.

What about those people you have met a couple of time and would love to be better friend with? Well what’s stopping you go make it happen!  Pick up the phone give them a text meet up for a massive catch up and go from there or even find them on Facebook message them and meet up what’s the worst that can happen  they ignore you  but what will be will be , there’s no harm in trying if you don’t try you don’t know.

4.       Changing your fitness routine:

So the plan is to do a 30min jog in the morning before work okay some days may be pushing it a bit for time but as long as a jog in the morning is performed it’s all good. I’ve chosen to jog in the morning before work for many reason one being that it will sure wake me up as I’m defiantly not a morning person  secondly it will help on my weight loss that I’m hoping I will achieve  this year. And finally it will help on the mind set by jogging in the morning its starting the day fresh chucking any negative behind you.

5.       Relax more:

Have a bit more you time, do more of what makes you happy whether this is reading or simply having a day in front of the TV watching films all day just do it have a you day once every month and you will feel amazing for it.

6.       Collect your thoughts and memories as the year goes on:

Grab a pen and paper write down any thoughts or memories whether they are good or bad just write them day pop them into a jar and keep them going right the way till 2017 and then look back on what you have achieved throughout the year this will leave you with a smile on your face.

7.       Decide on what matters when:

Forget about your goals for all of this year. Instead, decide: what do you want to do today?

For instance you’re having a bad day your clothes you wanted to wear are a bit tight do you lash out and be in a bad mood all day not doing anything? No you put on something that’s not as tight and go out and have fun with your friends/ partner who ever just doing don’t sit around dwelling on the fact that your clothes don’t fit have a good day and this problem can soon be sorted out  with a little bit of a health kick.

8.       Clear away any distractions and focus:

It’s time to focus you have this goal of losing weight and having a clear mind set well close Facebook or whatever social media site you are on and focus sitting around on Facebook all day isn’t going to make you look like Miranda Kerr, it’s you that has to do the job it’s you that has to focus and with good supportive friends and family around this job will be made easier.
