The end of the year might be flooded with thoughts about bringing in the New Year by partying away through a night drowned in alcohol or worse.

Apart from new beginnings, the New Year brings about the time to wipe your slate clean; mentally, physically, and spiritually. A time to burn your bridges. Leaving behind the old you and allowing yourself to manifest into the person you have always envisioned yourself into becoming.

Find a quiet corner, preferably at home, and visualise any deeply indelible memories of where you felt low or a lack of self-worth or kept drowning in self-induced pain. Then make a list of the moments, repetitive patterns of beliefs, negative thought processes, and emotions that have weighed you down. Hold on to these thoughts and emotions while imagining how you would have ideally liked it to play out. Now, begin rewriting your story according to what you want to envision it as and observe if you feel more relaxed while doing so.?
All your experiences this year, positive or negative, need to be acknowledged and then cast away. Burning has been used for centuries as a tool of releasing your emotions. Gather yourself, and friends if you want, around a fireplace and write down all the negative feelings and emotions that you faced or had a hard time facing this year. Make an affirmation by telling yourself "you are releasing yourself from these cognitions" before tossing them into the flame. This act by itself will help you mentally clear space in your mind for positive reflections.?

Bathe extensively in a tub containing Epson salts. The sulphates in Epson salt help flush out toxins from your body, cleansing it and freeing your mind. Soak yourself for 40 minutes in total. The first 20 will work to extract the toxins, and the next 20 will help reabsorb the minerals floating around in the water.
Visualising is more powerful than just saying the word. Create a vision board that exhibits a mix of images, actionable words, and to-do lists to display whatever you want to be in your life. This could officially be your message to the universe.?
