- New year, new you?
Are you going to get into these strange things to start off the new year? Or maybe you already have?
Clear Your Contacts
Old bosses and numbers of friends that have since been changed don’t need to be clogging your contacts. If you don’t talk to them or use the number, lose it.
Make A New Playlist
It’s a new year and time for some new jams, or at least a new mix of your favorite new hits. Whether you listen to it while driving, working or gyming, put a little pep in your step with some of your favorite music. Is this one of the strange things to start that you’ll do in 2025?
Clean Your Closet
Same with the clothes, if you aren’t wearing them, don’t keep them. What was it that Marie Condo said? If you don’t love it, then throw it? Or something like that.
Spring Cleaning
Get into your spring cleaning early. How nice would it be to come into the Spring season and everything has been organized and scrubbed down? Do things like actually move everything to clean, wipe down your baseboards and your cupboards and make everything sparkle (so that you can enjoy it later.)
Get Sleep 
There is truly nothing more beneficial than getting a good night’s sleep. It repairs our bodies and brains and allows us to fully rest. If you have trouble sleeping, here’s a list of things that could help: spray your feet with magnesium, end the night with some sour cherry juice, workout (during the day as early as you can and NOT before bed,) and do what you can to see the sun! (Seems counterintuitive maybe but the sun emits a red light and the more unprotected, read: no sunglasses, sun our eyes see, the easier it is to sleep at night.) This isn’t really one of the strange things to start in 2025 because if you’re not getting enough sleep at night, you really need to figure that out!
Make A Plan
Whether you’re a planner person, a list maker or someone that plans as you go, it’s important to at least think about it. If you don’t change anything, nothing will change and if you don’t think about the things you want to change, there is little chance you’ll change anything.
Read More
Reading helps us grow, teaches us things we didn’t know and can actually transport us to another world, if you’re reading a great fiction book. This is actually a personal goal for me this year, to read at least a book a month. Will you add this to your new year?
Morning Routine
If you don’t have a morning routine, it may be time to start one. There’re a handful of great things to do in the morning that you could add to a routine. Drinking water, getting outside for a short walk and some sunshine, eating something with protein and planning your day are all great things to get into those first few hours in the morning. Is this one of the strange things to start that you want to get into for 2025?
Out With The Old, In With The New
Because if you have old, dirty clothes, pots and pans covered in filth or even old curtains that just need to go, then let them. Obviously, don’t throw away all your things unless you can afford a shopping spree, but you know what to do.
So what do you think of these strange things to start off 2025? Let me know in the comments!
