Then, safely, create a fire and burn what you've wrote.This is a symbolic way to make space for the new year and to start with an improved mindset.

Burn away negativity- literally

Decide your year's theme. ( What area of your life do you want to improve?) For example if it is your health you can say yourself these questions:<ul><li>What would I need to do, be, and have in order to have more well-being in my experience?</li><li>Will this decision make me healthier and happier—or not?</li></ul>

Pick a word or a theme

Not everybody find journaling easy. The trick is to limit the time you write and find out the best way that works for you. You can write for 5 minutes a day in a journal or in you phone's notes section, it's up to you. Yvonne Thomas says:"Writing can help frame your daily outlook to be more positive because you do not just see what’s wrong or missing in your life; rather, you are consciously recognizing what you have that you appreciate and feeling good about those things.”

Write a journal
