As the New Year approaches, a sweet rush surrounds us all. Gifts, plans, and new hopes... However, this period is also a unique opportunity to stop, take a breath, and be alone with ourselves. Whether you are someone who has just started writing a journal or someone who has been keeping one for years. These 20 New Year suggestions are designed to get you moving and help you transfer all the enthusiasm of the New Year spirit into your journal.   What was the event that surprised you the most this year, and what did it teach you about yourself? When you look back, which was that moment when you said, "I am proud of myself for achieving this"? Who was the person, or what was the habit or thought that you removed (or started to remove) from your life this year that no longer serves you? Think about the most challenging period of the year; what was your strongest trait that allowed you to survive that period? Describe the moment that made you laugh the most this year or where you felt pure joy. If you were to write a letter to the past year, what would its title be, and what would you thank it for? Is there anything you regret procrastinating on this year? If so, how can you carry this into the next year by making up for it? Among the things you read, watched, or listened to throughout the year, which work changed your perspective the most? Was there a moment when you couldn't show yourself enough compassion? What would you like to say to yourself by going back to that moment now? If you were to summarize the past year in just three words, what would these words be? What is the thing you want to say "I'm glad I took this risk" about at the end of next year? What is the emotion you want to include more in your life in the new year? (Peace, excitement, trust, adventure, etc.) If the possibility of failure was "zero," what would you start this year? What are the situations or demands to which you want to learn to say "No" next year? What is the biggest promise you will give to yourself this year to strengthen your relationship with yourself? Is there a concrete skill you want to learn or improve in the new year? Imagine an ideal morning routine; what could be the first small step you take this year to get closer to this routine? Where is that special place you want to visit, see, or experience next year? Think about your social circle; with whom would you like to spend more time, and with whom would you like to set boundaries this year? If you were to choose a single "Motto" or "Power Sentence" for the next year, what would it be?   You don't have to answer these questions in a single sitting. You can spread them over the first month of the year by choosing one or two each day. Or you can just answer a few questions that you choose, that come from within. Now grab your favorite journal and pens; of course, you can use a digital app if you want. And move to your favorite corner and get ready to take a journey into your soul. Start pouring what's on your mind onto the lines with all your courage and open-heartedness. Remember, as you write it becomes clear, and as it becomes clear you move forward.     Happy New Year!
