A Fresh New Year and Maybe Not A ‘Fresh New You’ on Koh Phangan

Error message

Ah so here it is you lovely Phanganists, a brand new year here in Thailand and all across the world so obviously here is your ‘brand new you’ typical article to go with it!

Let’s try to take a nice spin on resolutions, hopes and dreams, we’ll try to ‘keep it real’ yet inspire you to be the best version of yourself!

You don’t need to change, unless you want to, all we suggest is to just be the true person you are meant to be so we’ll try to help with that.

Usually it’s a bit of a rocky start for most of us. The first day of the year has some of the highest hangover rates amongst us Phanganists. New Year’s Eve is an epic night of partying, possibly the biggest of the year and so you’ll either still be going into the 1st or waking up with a pillow creased face wanting an IV of H2O…

Give yourself a bit of leeway for the first few days, it’s gonna take a while to recover and you don’t want to change too dramatically just be able to evaluate what you want from yourself and this new year of 2018.

Most people go for something like;

Stop Smoking
Stop/Drink less alcohol
Eat healthier
Join the Gym
Lose Weight

Etc, etc, etcetera…

If you wanna do these things then great but why not think about what you want to achieve in a different sense. Where do you want to go, what do you want to do, give yourself a bigger time frame and make it less about the surface and more about the soul.

There is probably nothing wrong with you so don’t go thinking you need to change so much.

Think about those things that will make you eternally happy and are achievable. Sometimes when you make resolutions or join the ‘new year new you’ club it puts too much pressure on the topic and makes things harder to achieve so politely make a promise to yourself and no one else.

If you are here on the magical island of Koh Phangan then you are already off to a great start. Take in the beautiful nature, luscious thick jungle, bathe in the turquoise waters and begin to gently think about what you would like to achieve this year, if anything at all.

The magical enchanted air of the island will listen to you wish but you have to put in the work too!
