While all the offices/schools/colleges are busy preparing secret Santa gifts, let’s not forget that this year New Year is falling on a Monday. If you are puzzled or worried on how to celebrate New Year on a Monday night, then sit back and read this blog. I promise to help you make your New Year night the most memorable one until now.
1.Try the chit game
Last year I had one of the most memorable New Year nights ever. I experimented the below and posted it on my blog. Three of my readers actually loved the idea and decided to follow my footsteps. It was a moment of pride.
…and the year ends with me being at peace. Celebrating another day with a hell lot of chits lying on my bed. Oops sorry!Come let me walk you through the flash back. I’ve been folding these random chits in a jar for the last one year. All the good and the not-so-good memories, I’ve been treasuring in this jar of mine to gift myself on the 31st December’s night.
Yes, 2017 hugged in a jar!
On 29th December, Sam (my bestie) asks me ,” Hey when are you gonna open those chits?”
And I was overwhelmed to see her excitement, though she was definitely not allowed to read them.On that question of hers I decided to read them on the night of 31st when the entire world would be partying hard out there.
Yes! This is Shradz. Different yet close to the world.
And trust me, the chit venture was exciting. I felt tranquil while I opened and read each of it. Some brought a wide smile on my face , some made me think while some others were just close to my heart. Fortunately, none of them made me cry. Maybe because each one had a lesson to inculcate in me. It seems with each chit I’ve evolved stronger.
And I’m happy , Sam has started off her venture with the chits. Of course! I’m the inspiration. It’s so good to be an inspiration for someone, isn’t it ?
Folks, let’s hope for the best for 2018. I’m going to continue dropping my chits in the jar for 2k18. I think you must be wondering what I’ve done to those chits. Then let me tell you, they’ve been stuck and treasured in my diary to be my lessons for the life!
You still have 2 weeks before you actually celebrate the New Year. So get going with your chit game and fill your jar of happy-sad moments. Gift it to yourself and celebrate New Year by surprising you with every chit you open.
2.Say Bye Bye to the Monday Blues
Generally, a Monday is known for its blues. But this time it’ll be a significant one, isn’t it? I was excited on this thought of New Year night falling on a Monday night. People will surely look up to this particular Monday.
Despite it being a Monday and a working day, treat yourself with a movie, your favourite popcorn flavour and a cosy blanket and have your “me-time”.
3.New Year Resolutions?
As we all know for how long our New Year resolutions lasts, let’s plan something more meaningful this year. Take some time out to think what actually makes you genuinely happy.
Plan out everything well in advance once you are ready with your thing. On the New Year’s Eve, actually do what you like and step into 2019.
The entire motive behind doing this is you’ll be doing what you like while you enter a New Year. The satisfaction you’ll get thereafter should be worth experiencing.
4. Pick up a small book
I would suggest you to read a quick-read book to celebrate your New Year with. Yes, when the world around you is partying hard, make peace with a book.
A good book can never betray you, but friends can by cancelling the plan or so.
If you really want to make a spectacular start of the year, let me suggest you 2 best books that I read in 2018. Each one will take hardly 2 hours to finish but the benefits it’ll give you are enormous.
Probably you may turn out to be different person on the 1st of January, 2019 or at least you’ll be happy you chose to sit back and read instead of getting drunk.
Do read any one of the below books to kick start your New Year and celebrate it more meaningfully.
