1. Do Solo Traveling

Solo travel can be an incredibly inspiring and self-enriching experience. When you travel alone, you are forced to rely on your own resources and abilities. Which can help you tap into your inner strength and independence. You are also free to explore and experience new things without the influence or constraints of others, which can help you discover new passions and interests.

One of the biggest benefits of solo travel is the opportunity for self-reflection and introspection. Without the distractions of friends or family, you have the space and time to really think about your life and what is important to you. This can lead to a greater sense of clarity and purpose, as well as a deeper understanding of yourself and your place in the world.

In addition, solo travel can help you build confidence and resilience. By navigating unfamiliar environments and overcoming challenges on your own, you can learn to trust in your own judgement and abilities. This can have a positive ripple effect on other areas of your life, helping you to feel more capable and empowered in all that you do.

2. Read a book every month and finish it

I always love reading books but it is challenging to find time and finish a book. So what I thought is, I should read a book, finish it and journal what I learned from the book. It doesn’t matter what genre of the book because I always believe, we can draw inspiration and new
learnings from reading a book.

Plus, it’s also beneficial for our mental health to read a book, be it educational or some kind of cheesy chick lit that is full of giggle-worthy lines. World is kinda crazy right now and reading a book is one of the best and sweetest methods of distraction we all need.

3. Explore a new hobby

While we all think working is a burden, we must do it to survive, pay bills and buy groceries. But if you can earn money while doing it for fun, it wouldn’t feel like you’re burning a candle at both ends.

As long as a hobby is not illegal and you could envision it as something where you can benefit from it financially, then there’s nothing wrong with pursuing and exploring this new hobby.

4. Go Somewhere You’ve Never Been To Before

Once a year, go somewhere you’ve never been to before! 

Going to a new place allows you to switch things up in your daily routine. This is good as seeing new sights, talking to new people, and trying out different food enlivens the overall experience. 

You’ll also be exposed to different ways of living. Which can show you profound insights you’ve never thought of before!

5. Skip Group Traveling and dare To Travel Alone.

Travel is back after two years of pandemic. And what’s better to celebrate the return of travel than trying out traveling by yourself? 

Unlike group travel, you’re confined within your “group travel” bubble. This can also make you oblivious to the precious traveling experiences — engaging with your five senses.

With solo traveling, your awareness is heightened, and you are more in touch with your five senses, which can lead you to many inspirational things to do, like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of meeting and talking with local people!

While you have to consider other people’s schedule and preferences in group travel, you get the ultimate autonomy in solo traveling! This means you are free to have the best experience you can have — and that in itself is inspirational as inspirational things to try out can mean differently to different people!

6. Start a gratitude journal

which can be a great way to focus on the positive things in my life and combat feelings of despair. 

It would barely take a few minutes of my day but can make me reflect on what I am truly grateful for and see on the brighter side of life. It has the power to cultivate a sense of gratitude and appreciation for the good things in your life. if you are also considering writing a gratitude journal in 2023 then here is how you can do it too, all you have to do is write down three things you are grateful for in your journal or share them with someone else.

It’s also important to focus on the present moment when practising gratitude. Instead of just listing off things you are generally grateful for, try to think about specific moments or experiences that brought you joy or gratitude that day. This can help you stay present and connected to the present moment. Rather than getting lost in thoughts about the past or future.

7. Learn to Serve Others

Step into the new year with a heart of grace that welcomes abundance into your life by simply serving those around you. This time of the year so many people are focused inward on building their best life, but what if the secret to building a life you love is to better serve those around you.

This means being present, having gratitude, and simply showing appreciation to those we care for.

Be inspiring to those around you by holding more space for those in your life. Learn to serve those around you with an open heart . By creating more positivity in your life and in the lives of those around you.

This year expand your focus to include how you can better serve the people in your life to create a life of abundance.

8. Lead an Intentional Life

Nothing is more inspiring than being in the presence of someone who leads an intentional life. This year live an intentional life filled with presence and purpose.

Be a person that purposely builds a life they love by identifying your goals, creating a system for achieving those goals, and listening closely to your intuition to guide you towards your next opportunity.

Slow down enough to recognized what is holding you back from the life you want to lead?

Be present with your time and cut back on the distractions that are leaving you feeling unworthy. This year resolute to be more intentional with your time. Slow down to listen to your intuition, and be disciplined enough to create a system for achieving your greatest goals.

*** Some suggestions from me –

9. Take a Step To Change Your Mind on Something

Even though, we always talk about changing our mind, gaining knowledges and believing in other’s opinions too time to time, as a human, we all used to have some fixed thoughts.

Even I can bet that you yourself carry some of those thoughts too. Some thoughts that we never bother changing. It can be thoughts on your culture or about someone or something or even sometimes about yourself.

Not all of those thoughts always feel okay. But it always seems like we’re too busy to explore them in a new way. Changing your mind and challenging your thoughts might seem like a complicated thing at first. Because, most importantly, it requires you to get out of your comfort zone.

But, I want you to do exactly that. Because though it seems uncomfortable, but it’s one of the most inspirational things that you can try out. If you think that you’re shy and can’t make friends, then go out and start talking to anonymous people. Be awkward, start the conversations. Say the first ‘hello’.

If one of the beliefs in your culture doesn’t feel right, then take the time to know about it more until you become comfortable with that or just can leave that in your way.

10. Repair the connections

Though, practicing hatred is never a healthy way of living, but we all get to do that time to time.

We hate people, we remove people from our life, ignore some when we feel like doing that. There isn’t actually anything wrong in removing people you think aren’t good for you.

However, don’t you think that we’ve made this removing process so easy? We hang out with someone for a few days and if we don’t like their vibes already, we don’t talk to them again. Don’t you think it’s a bit too fast?

Like how can you actually judge someone too easily and fast? In our every day life, we meet numerous people. And we don’t really have to count every of them.

But, make sure that you’re recognizing the precious ones. If you can think of a bond that you had lost for any reason like misunderstanding or judging too easily or simply for not having enough contacts, then give it a try.

Take time to repair or rejuvenate some of those lost connections and bonds. Make new friends and nourish the old ones.

11. Increase the ‘Me’ Time

Do you spend most of times serving others or working for others or simply thinking about others? Then maybe it’s time that you start increasing the ‘me’ time.

The only time when you’ll do things for yourself, serve yourself and will think about yourself. In short, live the idea of building a bliss station which is taken from the famous book – Keep Going – written by Austin Cleon.

Now, you might easily say that, ” I do a 9-5 job. I don’t have time! ” Or, something like ” Doing this ain’t put any money on the table.”

But, you see, don’t we all have 24 hours equally? You can ALWAYS create a ‘me’ time for yourself no matter what your schedule looks like. Even the fact is, amazing things happen when you start to enjoy being alone. It’s definitely one of the inspirational things to try out on the new year. After all, spending moments with you is another form of self love. And self love is never selfish

12. Spend more time with your Family

In my several other posts, I’ve encouraged the idea of increasing the family time already. You might wonder now that what’s so special about this family thing.

Well, there IS something Special. You see, no matter how many amazing people you interact with in your day to day life, mostly none of them can ever equal to your family.

As once you lose connections with them, they’re not yours anymore. But your family always belongs to you and you always belong to your family.

Most people don’t often understand the beauty of having a family because they don’t invest enough times.

If you spend a bit more time to nourish those connections with your family members, they will definitely bring something good. So, do increase the family time in the new year.

13. Grow a new tree in Your Backyard

At first, it might seem like there’s nothing inspirational on growing a new tree. Especially when so many trees are already there.

But, hey! Doesn’t it feel special to see a thing to grow from the very beginning?

When you look out of the window and see that tree going through different seasons and storms and still standing and growing. Isn’t that so much inspirational already?

14. Try Out Something New

As someone who feels comfortable mostly with living my old things, I feel like you might have this thing too. But, genuinely it’s something that needs to be changed.

While trying out something new, there’s always a fear that if it won’t bring something good. What if the new dish tastes bad or what it that movie doesn’t seem good? All that times spent there would be a waste, right?

But, there’s always also a chance that it can be the thing you fall in love with. So, just do that!

Get over that fear and try out new things in the new year.
