4 Things to look forward to in the New Year

There's something about the new year that feels refreshing and rejuvenating and It's not the fireworks, food or the festive joy and laughter with all your friends and loved ones.
Here are some of the things on why I love the New Year:
1. New Start

It's that feeling of moving on to a fresh new start, a clean slate, a new beginning and a brand new outlook on what's ahead.
It's also that feeling of leaving behind all your worries, your insecurities, your failures, your regrets and anything else that you don't want to take with you in the new year up ahead.
It's having a new perspective in life and trying out something new, when you let go of something that was not initially working in the past and having time to think and tell yourself that this it is time for a new start to try something else, to start the beginning of something new!
2. New Experiences
Every year I always reflect and think back on all the new experiences that I have done in the previous year. There's so many things to do in the world that you don't want to miss out on an opportunity to find out about the new experiences and opportunities presented to you.
I always keep a milestone list every year to keep track of what I've accomplished or new things that I've done throughout the year. This keeps my spirit burning with passion, knowing that it's not always the same every year.
You might already have a bucket list and think about ticking off some of them from your list this year. Another thing that I love doing is trying out new food or restaurants that I have not already tried out.
It's amazing how different and each restaurants are and how each of these have a different feel to them and the way they present the food that they serve.
Try looking for discount special vouchers online, to expand your horizons of where you eat and what you do. You'll be surprised with the vast array of choices available out there.
Two websites or apps I love using for discounted products in Australia are 'Groupon' and 'Deals'. They would often have 50% off or more discounts on several things as part of promoting their own product, restaurant or experiences that they offer.

3. New Places to Travel
For some people, when the word 'travel' is presented, they may think about it and what may come to mind is travelling overseas. To fortunate people who work hard, this may be a reality. But for some who don't have the funds to travel overseas, they may see this as a limitation, as travelling overseas may often be quite costly and expensive.
However traveling is not only limited to travelling internationally. Travelling may mean that you are exploring new areas in your own country or state where there are possibly other tourist destinations that are usually visited by other people from other country.
Don't take for granted the place where you're at, because no matter where you live, there's bound to be somewhere new that you have not yet explored.

What amazes me when I travel to new places and explore the beauty of what they have there and talk to the locals about the place. Some of the locals will mention to me that they have not even personally traveled to those destinations in their own country, even if it's somewhere nearby, because they have not bothered thinking about seeing the natural beauty of what they have around them as it's "always been there".
Travelling to new countries overseas inspires me to have a creative mindset in life. This world is so diverse and I appreciate the different cultures and way other people live in other countries, reminding me that we are all unique and there is no cookie cutter to mould everyone - but everyone creates their own mould in this life.
4. New You
Every year is also an opportunity for you to grow your character and learn from your previous mistakes and failures to shape the person that you become.
Every year, you may face many trials, hardship, set backs, conflicts and encounter difficult people who you don't necessarily get along well with.
At best, we can just ignore, leave or pretend that these problems don't exist. But a better approach in these difficult circumstances is learning how to develop your character.
Every year you become different from the previous year of who you were. Hopefully for the better. If you are presently aware of any challenges in life - instead of withdrawing from everything else, try to see how you can better improve your character as running away is not always an option.
At the start it might be difficult to even conceive in your mind on how to overcome some of your challenges, but through persevering and always doing what is right, you will be able see your character improving and growing.
So don't feel discouraged when you face challenges of many kinds. Hold your head up high and learn to love and accept people, regardless of how they may treat you.
For me, praying to God helps me to find my centre of who I am and who God has made me to be. You'll find life more fulfilling when you develop your character instead of expecting everything else or everyone else to change.
