- Because it's a new year so why not?
What wild ways are you using to start this new year? How about throwing your entire body into ice cold water, daily? No?
Join A Book Club
Or start reading if you’d rather the antisocial way. Either way, it’s good to read. You learn a lot and are able to see new ideas and thoughts from the comfort of your favorite chair.
Projects
Everyone has things to do but usually it’s cleaning or straightening up or work and kids related. Instead, create and get into or finish a project you have around your place.
Add In Juicing
Or even fruit juice smoothies. There are tons of vitamins and minerals in fruits and juicing can be a fun new way to get in all these benefits!
Winter Decor
Instead of a tree (unless you keep your Christmas tree up through February) you can decorate for the rest of the winter. Create paper snowflakes to hang up along with soft blankets, greenery and candles or lights to create a cozy vibe. This might not be one of the wild ways to start off the year but sometimes cozy and comfy is better than wild.
Arty
You don’t have to be great at drawing to have fun with art. Try writing with new or fancy lettering. You could also color, because coloring has no age restrictions. You could try some new painting techniques or even take some chalk outside to make some sidewalk art.
Try Not Drinking
Yes there’s dry January but it could be the best of the wild ways to start the year. There are so many reasons not to drink and possible risks associated with drinking:
- Liver disease
- Stroke
- Multiple forms of cancer
- Heart disease
- Hangovers
- Alcohol poisoning
- Dysregulated sleep
- Memory impairment
- Stroke
- Dependency and addiction
- Difficulty Concentrating
- Increased Energy
Better Relationships
Seriously though, think about it. It’s especially important if you have any substance issues in your family.
Bake Through Some New Recipes
It’s cold out and what’s better than something baked? From banana muffins to casseroles to a large loaf of garlic bread, eating something warm out of the oven will not only warm your belly up but your house will be warmed up, too!
Try A New Workout
Or take a cold plunge. This is one of the wild ways to start the new year for sure. Here are all the possible benefits of cold plunging:
- Reduced inflammation
- Increased Immunity
- Circulation
- Muscle Recovery
- Released endorphins
- Better sleep
- Pain Relief
- Mental Resilience
- Better Concentration
- Weight Loss
- Improved skin and hair health
- Enhanced mood
- Learn to control your breathing
- Muscle recovery
- Are You A Digital Hoarder?
- Kind
- Send A Letter Or A Card
Go Hiking
Or take a long walk. Because you know, hiking for the most part, is walking.
Drink Something Warm
This is the perfect time to drink something warm and yummy. There are so many warm drinks to have like black coffee, golden milk, chai, matcha, hot chocolate, or even a liquid-y soup like tomato soup!
Learn Something New
You can literally learn to do anything from YouTube. It’d be fun to learn something new this year and it could be one of the wild ways to start a new year off. Also, if you break something or need to figure out almost anything, you can seriously look it up on YouTube and and do it yourself.
