New Year Rituals

Finish – and start – your year on the right foot


As we approach the festive season, it’s the perfect time to pause and prepare for the upcoming year. Each December, Cooper and I embrace the ritual of reflecting on the past year, hoping to glean insights and wisdom to carry into the new one.

A season of reflection and renewal

Welcome to the final days of 2024! This month, as we enjoy festive cheer, many of us also ponder our New Year's resolutions. Maybe we’ll promise to trade cocktails for cardio or finally stick to a new hobby. And while some habits are hard to shake, it’s the spirit of renewal that truly invigorates us.

My own New Year's ritual has become a cherished tradition, born from years that started with disappointment but taught me the power of intention and a touch of ritual.

Looking for promising signs

Initially, I seek out lighthearted signs that the year ahead holds promise – hether it's a favorable zodiac forecast or an auspicious number. It’s a fun, hopeful way to start thinking about the future.

However, the real magic begins when I turn off my devices and turn to something more tangible: pen and paper.

The power of writing it down

On a flight home from a winter holiday several years ago, I scribbled my hopes for the new year in a new diary. When I revisited these notes months later, I was amazed to find that many had come to fruition. This experience revealed the profound impact of setting intentions in writing.

Now, rather than listing specific goals, I focus on capturing how I want to feel: respected at work, inspired by creativity, and vibrant in health. This approach helps me manifest opportunities that resonate more deeply with my aspirations.

Concluding with gratitude and letting go

I end my yearly ritual by expressing gratitude for the joys and challenges of the past year and releasing anything that weighs me down, from grudges to unhelpful attitudes.

As we wrap up 2024 and look to the new year, I encourage you to share your own rituals for renewal. What practices help you greet the new year with optimism and purpose? Connect with us on social media and let us know.
