Setting It Straight For New Years 2023 | Lunar New Years And Healthy Traditions

 

Background with a spiritual flair

The Lunar New Year (moon cycle) traditionally marks the start of a new cycle of sowing or farming activities, mainly in China. It is also referred to as The Spring Festival or Chinese New Year.

DATE: SUNDAY JAN 22 2023 

How beautiful is it that we can set intentions, cast manifestations, learn and grow to develop. Whoever and wherever you are in the world, new years, lunar new years – would you agree that a new year is necessary for a change in our lives?

What to do culturally – some brief ideas

It is important we don't forget who we are. That we are in fact a global people but each unique..

• Support and share art work virtually (your friends too👁), attend exhibitions which showcases art that can expand your mind.

• Sparklers with your loved ones

• Communal meals that represent the black diaspora – PS: I need to try some Ethiopian food 😭

• Understand and admire African traditional performances. Learn of some history & powerful leaders who speak truth.

• Short courses or lectures on history and various cultures outside your own. Exploring many of the mother tongues, as of 2022, Africa has 2,000 langues, the continent of Africa is expanding expeditiously 

True say that if the lunar new year encourages as well as teaches change, sure it is very much necessary and a favourite to people globally. It even persuades people to make lovely, fun and positively daring promises. That's too cute ✨such a cute global tradition. 

What makes the New Year so special ?

Firstly, i believe we should hold gratitude to the fact that you survived an entire year. What a blessing.

We survived the previous year through thick and thin, heartbreak and ache, lessons and losses, and any other obstacle you can think of. The end goal is that weve come out stronger and better as a person. 

From mourning lost ones to welcoming new life into the world, the most important thing to remember is that you have withstood all of these difficult times and prepared a warrior of yourself.

1. Improving yourself ` For the coming year, we want to become happier, healthier. Therefore, we must promise to work towards small changes with ourselves, internal and external work which is just as important. It’s not cool if we are the same person, going back on ourselves or not elevating your potential. ``I choose to do and be better,  how about you ?

2. New me, means new Chapter` Forgive yourself then start a new clean plate. This plate will be served on the basis of good health. In other terms, useful examples such as finding new, meaningful work instead of getting comfortable in the job you dont enjoy or don't see yourself growing.

3. Not accepting negative energy and behaviour. It’s NOT the time

4. Working towards putting a stop to those generational curses 

5. Getting comfortable and confident in saying “these are my boundaries and they are not up for discussion.

Final thoughts

This year, my vibe is “somebody else can do it”, i'm not having it ❤️The upcoming year gives you an opportunity for fresh starts. This is what makes the lunar new year so special and unique. This specific attribute really does set New Year apart from other celebrations.
