My favorite New Years Rituals

With 2020 over it's time to bring in some positive energy to the new year. Focusing on the positive of 2021 is a great thing to do. I mean who needs to remember all of the negative crap that was 2020? 

At midnight I did a little ritual and prayer for a positive 2021 filled with love, laughter and new beginnings and that led to meditation.

I wrote down my goals and intentions on a piece of paper and placed them under a burning yellow candle. If you don't have yellow then white will work fine as well. 

I have a bowl of pink Himalayan salt in my bedroom with bay leaves in it to cleanse the negative energies of the past.  Each month I flush the salt and then replace it with more salt and bay leaves.  I have some sage incense that I burn as well and waft it around my room. 

How I'm setting positive intentions for 2021

I'm really hoping that 2021 will be so much better than 2020 was, though just because we're leaving a crappy year it doesn't mean that next year will be the same. 

A few years ago I was all about setting up New Years Resolutions and then I would get upset that I didn't accomplish them all. I decided to change it around a bit this year and it's working even better.

~ I a created lists of goals that I want to accomplish. Instead of doing them by month or year I have 1 list and as I accomplish that goal I mark it off and just add to it whenever I have a new goal I want to accomplish. Right now my list has well over 100 goals that I wish to accomplish. 

~ Self Development is something I've been doing a lot of and working to heal my inner self. I have a seriously low self esteem so I'm working on boosting that. I have a pile of books on my desk that I'm planning to read and most likely reread. 

~ Meditation is a favorite, you can find so many meditations on YouTube and never run out of them. I put on some instrumental music as I meditate to help calm my mind. This year it seems like there's 100 tabs running in my head so it can be hard to silence the mind chatter.

~ Surround yourself with positive like minded people. It helps to be around people who have some of the same goals as myself. We work together and keep each other on track.
