The Chinese New Years starts January 22, 2023 and will be the Year of the Water Rabbit. The Year of the Rabbit is one of the 12-year cycle of animals that appear in the Chinese zodiac. The Chinese zodiac is used to represent years, and each year is associated with a specific animal. The Year of the Rabbit is considered a time of prosperity and peace, and people born in the Year of the Rabbit are said to be intelligent, calm, and well-mannered.

The Rabbit isn’t for everyone, but this year will be a time of more stability and more peace. ThankNew Year's Resolutions goodness. What can you do to get off on the right foot with the Rabbit?

There are a few things you can do to get off to the right foot:

  1. Set goals: Take some time to think about what you want to achieve in the coming year. Make a list of specific, achievable goals and put a plan in place to achieve them.
  2. Get organized: Start the year off by decluttering and getting organized. This can help reduce stress and increase productivity.
  3. Make healthy choices: Take care of your physical and mental health by eating a balanced diet, getting enough sleep, and exercising regularly.
  4. Practice gratitude: Start each day by focusing on the things you are grateful for. This can help put you in a positive mindset and set the tone for the rest of the day.
  5. Be kind to yourself: Don’t beat yourself up if things don’t go perfectly. Remember that it’s okay to make mistakes and that it’s important to be kind to yourself and practice self-compassion.
  6. Practice gratitude: Take time each day to reflect on the things you are grateful for. This can help shift your focus to the positive aspects of your life.
  7. Surround yourself with positive people: Choose to spend time with people who are positive, supportive, and uplifting. Their positivity can rub off on you.
  8. Take small steps: Don’t try to change everything at once. Focus on making small, incremental changes that will help you reach your goals over time.
  9. Help others: Doing good for others can improve your own sense of well-being and positivity. Consider volunteering or finding ways to help those in need.

That’s a big list. Focusing on one or two of them will start you off in the good graces of the Rabbit!
