1. Revamp Your Social Network Profiles
I do this every year. I’ve only done this with Facebook, but you can revamp any social network, such as Twitter, Tumblr, etc. Go through your followers and friends. Have you spoken to your Facebook friends within a year or two? If not, delete them. If neither of you have made an effort to contact each other, it shows that you’ve grown apart, so go ahead and delete them. You can also go through old photos (such as ones of your ex). It’s also a good way of getting over a break up and starting anew. One of the most important ways to start the New Year off on a positive note is to get rid of anything that is holding you back (and ex-boyfriends can do just that!) so that you can start afresh.

This article provides 11 tips for starting the New Year on a positive note. One of these tips is revamping your social network profiles. This can involve going through your followers and friends, deleting those who you haven't spoken to in a while, and deleting old photos that may be holding you back. This is a great way to start the New Year on a positive note as it allows you to start afresh and get rid of anything that may be holding you back. Additionally, it can be a great way to get over a break up and start a new chapter in your life.
That's totally okay! Honestly, every day is a new beginning. You can reset whenever you need to. It's about progress, not perfection.
It's all about setting your intentions and being kind to yourself. Maybe start with a gratitude journal or set small, achievable goals. What's something you really want to focus on this year?
You could try decluttering your space, planning a fun activity with friends, or even just treating yourself to a day of pampering. I find that looking forward to little things keeps my spirits up!
It sets the tone for the rest of the year, don't you think? When you start with a positive mindset, it makes you more resilient and open to new opportunities.
Personally, I love making a vision board. It keeps me inspired and focused on my goals. But really, anything that makes you feel good and motivated should work!
2. Donate Your Clothes (or Shoes, or Jewelry…)
Go through your closet. More than likely, there are shirts you loved, but don’t fit in anymore or that sweater your grandmother gave you but you never wore. Instead of throwing them in the trash, donate them to a local charity.

3. Make a Resolution (and Keep It!)
Make a resolution. I understand it’s not as easy as it sounds, but I’m not saying to make a life-altering change that requires a whole lot of effort and stress on your part. Make a resolution to smile more or discover a particular inspirational quote and make that your mantra whenever times get tough.

4. Try Something New
Whether it is attending a Zumba class instead of your normal Yoga class or learning to play a new instrument, the key here is to try something you haven’t tried before. It could even be something small, like trying a new recipe or a new do-it-yourself project.

Check out these unique tips on how to make the most of the weather right at your home. Let's celebrate every beautiful day, no matter where we are.
5. Stress Less
Find something you enjoy doing in order to release the stress of your daily routine. Whether it is taking a short run, sitting down to read a good book with a hot cup of tea or sleeping late on the weekends, the main idea is to relax from all the hustle and bustle of your busy life.

6. Update Your Makeup
It doesn’t have to be something completely outrageous or out of your comfort zone, but a change in your makeup routine may add a new sparkle to your usual look. Invest in a new lip color or eye shadow palette.

7. Update Your Electronics
I’m usually in a hurry and save my computer documents wherever the default save option leads them to. Then, I can’t find them! Go through your files and delete any unnecessary documents. Organize them into folders where you can easily access them. Also, delete any applications you don’t use (on your phone, computer, tablet, etc). You can also conduct a disc defragmentation or disc clean up on your computer, which may make it run smoother and faster as well.

8. Take Time for Yourself
Although making resolutions as well as the other topics here are about ourselves, we should also take time out to do something nice for ourselves. Stretch, meditate, go for a walk, journal or just take a nap. There are lots of simple ways to be good to ourselves.

9. Commit to Get Fit
Exercise is important to optimal health and wellness so why not make a commitment to get fit or fitter? Even taking small steps such as taking the stairs, doing short workouts or taking walks during your lunch hour can make a huge difference in your overall mental and physical health and help make this year even better than the last!

11. Reconnect with Old Friends and Family
If you have a friend you have not spoken to in awhile or a distant family member you have been meaning to get in touch with, do it! Give them a call, write a letter or plan a trip to visit. It will feel great to catch up and you will wonder why you waited so long to get in touch. While you are at it, make a commitment to not let so much time go by before you contact your distant friends and family again.
