The New Year isn’t about how much pressure you can put on yourself or setting the hardest goals. It is a fresh start to fill with new memories, experiences, people, and lessons. A New Year’s bingo card is a fun, low-stress way to set intentions without turning them into expectations. You can fill and decorate it to match whatever vibe you are feeling for this year.
Try a Dance Style You’ve Never Done Before
Get outside of your comfort zone for the New Year and try something new! Put one or more dance styles that you don’t have experience in on your bingo card. You have the whole year to try them, and it will help expand your knowledge as well as give you something to look forward to. It is not about being good at it on the first try. It’s about expanding your skills and having some fun.
Have a Day Where You Dance Just for Fun
Dance is supposed to be fun, and sometimes that means dancing just because you want to! Make a playlist filled with your favorite songs, put on an outfit you can move in, and stay away from the mirrors. This isn’t about performing your best or having the cleanest lines. It is about dancing because you love it. Make it a no-expectations and no-pressure zone.
Write Down Three Wins from Each Month
Use your bingo card as an incentive to track your goals. Wins don’t have to be huge for them to matter. Remind yourself to write them down and celebrate them. It is important to celebrate the small wins because sometimes they matter even more than the big ones. Maybe this could be feeling really confident when doing a combo, stretching every night for a week, or hitting that turn that you wanted to. Keep track of how far you’ve come throughout the year. This will help you to stay grounded and grateful.
Take a Short Social Media Break
Social media can be overwhelming and cause us to focus on comparison instead of experience. Even just taking a few days off from social media can give you the mental reset that you need. Use the time that you would spend doom-scrolling on something creative or useful. Set some goals and start taking the steps to achieve them. Your progress and accomplishments are not measured by how many likes you get!
