The year 2024 is yours! You’re filled with the drive to conquer, achieve your dreams, and finally succeed in ways you can’t even imagine. Forget about New Year’s resolutions; say hello to small actions and items that will enhance your daily life.
Our editorial team has crafted an esoteric and spiritual wishlist to kick off the year 2024 in the most beautiful way!
Essential 1: In Year 2024, Take Stock
Reflecting on the Past Year
We often rush ahead without looking back at the path we’ve traveled. Before anything else, take a moment to assess the year 2023. What have you accomplished, succeeded in, failed at, spoiled, lost, or gained? Do you feel happy, sad, proud, lucky, unhappy, lonely, well-accompanied? What did you love, adore, hate, regret?
There are no rules on how to do this. Our advice is to give yourself an hour. You can play music, light a candle, prepare a drink or pastry. You can close your eyes and reflect internally or write it down. It’s up to you!
Significance of Renewal
Like any new cycle, the new year symbolizes renewal. It marks the change of seasons, the shift from December to January, and the transition to a new year.
Each of us sees the end of one cycle as the beginning of a new one. After winter comes spring, after holidays comes work, after life comes death.
The new year represents the opportunity to start afresh. It’s often at this time that we make new resolutions to become a better version of ourselves (quit smoking, get back into sports, eat less chocolate, learn a language, change jobs). The power of the new year is potent; it makes us feel capable of anything, like a reset button has been pressed.
Setting Goals (vision board)
You’ve taken stock, and you’ve chosen what you want for the year 2024. But how do you put that into action?
Here, we introduce the vision board technique. It’s a visual representation of your desires. Want to travel? Stick the flag of the country you dream of visiting! Want to learn to cook a specific dish? Paste it on!
You can create your vision board on paper with printed or cut-out images. Display it in your room or bathroom to see it constantly and not forget your goals. You can also create a virtual version on your phone using the Canva app, which is handy and intuitive for such projects.
Essential 2: Recharge Your Body and Mind
You can’t start the year right if you’re not in good shape. Health relies on three factors: sleep, diet, and physical activity.
Sleep
It’s no secret: without sleep, progress is hindered. We might think, after a short night, that we can tackle our daily tasks and repeat the cycle the next day without catching up. But that illusion can be costly.
Take the time to sleep. If you enjoy watching a movie in the evening, start it a bit earlier (during dinner, for example) to fall asleep earlier. During lunch break, close your eyes for a few minutes instead of scrolling through your favorite social network. Unbeknownst to you, you’ll gain rest time and, consequently, energy to accomplish all your desires the next day.

Food
We all know about festive indulgences. Sugar, fat, a bit of champagne, and a lot of indulgence. The mouth loves it, but the stomach may struggle to digest it. So, give your stomach a break for a few weeks.
Eat seasonal fruits and vegetables. Remember to hydrate with water, vegetable broths, soups, and infusions. Don’t stop eating! Eat better, and your body will thank you! Above all, maintain these new good habits in the long term. Nutrition is the foundation of health, so consider what you eat!

Physical activity
Winter is often conducive to rest. Days are sometimes shorter and colder (depending on the cities, of course, thinking of the lucky ones spending the New Year in the sun!), and the desire to exercise in the evening may be absent.
However, movement is essential. Walk during your lunch break, take the stairs instead of the elevator, carry your shopping bags instead of putting them in a cart, sign up for boxing, dance, or badminton! Treat yourself and use your body! The more you move, the easier it will become, and you won’t be able to do without it!
