2. Prepare your favorite meal. Since it's just you, you have free rein to make anything you want. Make your favorite comfort food, or try a new recipe that you've been wanting to try. Experiment with different flavors and spices, or even create your own dish.
3. Have a festive party of one. Open a bottle of sparkling cider or champagne, or make your own special mocktail. Dress up in your favorite party outfit and create a celebratory atmosphere in your home. Light the fireplace, or string up some festive decorations.
4. Reflect on the past year. Take some time to reflect on all the good things that happened over the past year. Think about your accomplishments, both big and small, and the people and experiences that brought you joy.
5. Set intentions for the coming year. As the new year approaches, take some time to set intentions for the coming year. Think about what you want to achieve, both personally and professionally. Write your intentions down and keep them in a place where you can see them often.
6. Connect with loved ones virtually. Even though you may not be able to be with your loved ones in person, you can still connect with them virtually. Call, text, or video chat with your family and friends to share your New Year's wishes with them.
7. Do something you enjoy. Whether it's reading a book, watching a movie, or listening to music, do something that you enjoy and that brings you pleasure. This is your time to relax and have fun, so do whatever you want to do.
8. Reflect on the past year. Take a few moments to think about the past year. What were the good times? The challenges? What lessons did you learn? Write your thoughts in a journal or simply spend some time quietly reflecting.
9. Set intentions for the coming year. What do you want to accomplish in the coming year? What are your goals? Make a list of your intentions and start to make a plan to achieve them.
10. Count down to midnight. As the ball drops and the clock strikes midnight, take a moment to let go of the past year and welcome the new year with open arms. This is your chance to start fresh and make your wildest dreams a reality.
