1. Another year of successes and disappointments has gone. Buy yourself a nice treat. Buy that thing you wish all year long to celebrate success. If this year has been very disappointing then, all the more - treat yourself to lighten up your spirit. You are not able to share or give happiness to anyone else if you aren't happy yourself. So be happy!2. If you live in the city, go back to your hometown during the holidays. It will bring you close to your family. How wonderful it is to spend the holidays with your family. It will also bring you to your roots. The holidays are those few times during the year that you can slow down a bit and look back. It will bring you nostalgia, great childhood memories, and embarrassing experiences. It keeps people grounded, to know where you came from. It will also take you where you're heading...
3. Prepare to shock everyone when you come back after the holidays. Got that long locks, shock your officemates with a pixie! Get yourself a tattoo! Change your wardrobe! To keep yourself interesting and people interested in you, you have to change - hopefully for the better. Getting something changed for the new year also jumpstarts your new year. It gives you more confidence and that zest you never knew you have.
4. Sleep! Oh how I want this for myself =) All year long, you struggle at work, in school or wherever. This is the best time to relax and recuperate. As you go back to work and school, you won't have time to rest again. Give yourself the best relaxation you could possibly have. You will be rejuvenated for another year's battle.
6. Keep your records. List down your accomplishments for the year. You have to constantly remind yourself that you are on track with your dreams and goals. At the same token, you can track which ones you target for the coming year, or which areas you need improvement on. Some people create dream books but you don't have to go that extreme. Just keep track and keep it in your head...
7. Clean up! Clean up your mess literally and figuratively. Don't you want to open the new year with a clean slate? Tidy your stuff and yourself. Learn from the mistakes this year and unlearn the bad habits. Clear your mind with new goals and focus. Suit up and conquer the world!8. Booze! Hey, these are the few times when you can drink and not worry about work tomorrow morning so get yourself ice cold beer. Whiskey? Merlot? Whatever it is that tickles your fancy, go ahead, indulge. Drink up!
and the coolest thing you could do during the holidays...
9. Move on! Another year is offer and the coming year has a lot to offer so move on and be prepared! Embrace the blessings and take on the challenge. Smile!
