As we say goodbye to 2012 and welcome in 2013, what do we do to ring in the new year besides watching the ball drop, partying and sipping on champagne ?. Some of us get ready for this day weeks and days before its arrival. Whether its getting your hair done, nails done, everything did or cleaning your house. Everyone has there own rituals to ring in the new year including us. Here are some rituals we do to start the new year with a positive attitude.
-Cleaning the entire house, bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, everything.
- Making sure all of the laundry is done. New year, clean clothes equals no mess for the new year.
-Going through your phone and deleting useless contacts/numbers that you never use. There must be a reason you no longer dial or text that number anymore so what's the point of them taking up a space in your phone. Ring in the new year with people you know will always answer back and make room for some potential long life friends.
-Wearing a red or yellow undergarment on New Years eve.Kind of a silly ritual passed on from my mother but I still do it anyway. Red equals romance, while yellow stands for better year financially.
-Another fun and passed down ritual is the 12 grapes ritual. As the countdown begins for the ball to drop, take a cup and fill it with 12 fresh grapes. In the last 12 seconds, eat a grape for each second and make a wish for every grape you eat.
-Eating Black eyed peas on New Years day in order to recieve good luck throughout the whole year
-Wash your laundry either before News Years day or after never on New Years day because that is bad luck.
FullCircles Resolutions:
Katherine E: Now I don't want to sit here and say new year, new me but I do have some things that I want to personally change about myself. Most importantly I physically want to get in better shape not only for myself but for my health. I want to continue to keep myself active and get to a healthier goal. This will not only be good for my health but I know that will also make me feel better about myself and boost up my confidence. I know that It will not change the person who I am inside and that it will enhance who I am on the outside. Secondly I just want too keep being happy and living every day as m last. Feeling positive and thinking positive will only leave to positive things.
Keyla: My resolutions are positiveness ,patience, and speaking up. I want to do positive things career wise, do things that make me happy, and hang with people who are positive. Negativeness is NOT an option! I learned in 2012, I am not a patient person either. Lol! I think I need to learn this year how to take things slow, give it a chance and not just admittedly get rid of it just because I don't have patience for it. Lastly, I went through a phase last year where I just stopped telling people who used to be important to me about I felt when times got rough. It is really important to speak up and say how you feel. If something happens between friends or family the person might not know whats wrong and you are assuming that they do know. So, those are my three goals to learn and hopefully maintain doing this year for 2013.
p.s Ill try to work out and eat my fruits/veggies Lol!!!
