8 Tips for Good Luck for the First Day of Chinese New Year
Chinese New Year is the actual transition to a fresh new year as the energy of the sun and moon starts on a whole new fresh page.
As the energy refreshes, there are certain things that can be done to enhance the positivity for the year.
Here are some of them:
1. Speak good words
Words are spells. That is why we have the term called spellings. Good words are simple idiot proof ways to pave good luck to you. This is truly scientific and logical as we love to be with people who speak positive to us, uplifting us rather than putting us down.
So greet everyone you see on the first day of Chinese New Year with wondrous beautiful words. It is no surprise the effect and return are immediate.
2. Eat something sweet
During transitions like Chinese New Year, the Stomach and Spleen are the main organs governing such energy changes and transformation. Sweetness is a flavor that nourishes Spleen and Stomach. So take something sweet to uplift your digestion and increase your positive energy and luck for the rest of the day and even the year.
3. Wear new clothes and shoes
This is a tradition that has been passed down for centuries and there is always some truth to this practice that it persists till today. Greet the new year with a fresh and new outlook and energy through your physical appearance. Good luck loves freshness and everything new.
4. Smile
Smile is the best facial signature in physiognomy. No matter how ugly, disproportionate, flawed, pigmented, scarred your face is, people can only see your smile when you smile. The rest is unimportant.
5. Help someone
The ability to help and offer symbolizes that you are abundant and enough to give your time and effort up for others. And when you keep doing that, the universe will respond by paving you with more abundance and good luck because that is what you are telling the world.
6. Reconnect with lost connection
The people that you have met in the past did not cross your path for no reason. They are there to build you up to who you are today. So get in touch with them again and you will be surprised what may spark with the reconnection.
7. Give and donate
The tradition of giving angbao during Chinese New Year is one that gives not just money but also blessings to our loved ones. But giving is not limited to angbao and money. It can be food, clothes, time, knowledge and other resources that you have. Give and you shall receive.
8. Relax, rest and rejuvenate
Chinese New Year does not mean you need to pack the whole day full of schedule and itinerary for visitations and social gatherings. Take some time off to take care of yourself on the first day of the new year. It creates space for good luck to tap you on the shoulder.
