How To Wish Others A Happy New Year Full Of Happiness And Prosperity

Happy New Year wishes are a small way to show appreciation for the role a person played in your life in the past year and your hopes for them and your relationship in the coming twelve months and beyond. However, knowing exactly how to express how you feel can sometimes be tricky. That’s why we’re exploring below a few different forms these well wishes can take for those who are seeking inspiration.

How saying New Year’s wishes on New Year’s Eve can help strengthen connections

A growing body of research indicates the importance of strong social connections and relationships for both mental and physical health. For example, a 2017 study suggests that social connectedness is a strong predictor of mental health, and that chronic loneliness can be associated with a variety of health-related risks and complications. Exchanging heartfelt well wishes for a prosperous new year with friends and family members, partners, neighbors, or others you care about is one small way in which you might strengthen your bonds and help promote well-being in your social circles.

Set a New Year’s resolution together

Setting resolutions alongside those you love can be another way to connect with them and strengthen your bond this holiday season. For example, you might plan to go to the gym once a week with a friend in 2024 or schedule monthly check-ins throughout the new year to connect and communicate with your romantic partner, even as time flies by in the new year. Having someone to set a resolution with may also help keep you both accountable, which could increase your chances of success in meeting your goals and avoiding bad habits. 

Keep the promises you make on New Year’s Eve

If you make promises to someone at the end of the year, holding those promises throughout the new year can be a way to show them you care. Like the New Year’s tradition of New Year’s resolutions, promises are generally most powerful when upheld and prioritized. Try to be true to your New Year wishes and messages to others.

Write a letter containing your Happy New Year wishes

Especially if you or someone in your life identifies with the love language of “words of affirmation,” writing a letter can be a sentimental way to connect and offer a happy New Year’s wish through positive New Year’s language. In the letter, you might include how you feel about your connection with this person, your hopes for their new year, and what you enjoyed most about your time together this past year. You might also try to keep the letter light and cheerful to inspire positivity and optimism in 2024; humorous or funny New Year wishes can help ring in the next year joyfully. The New Year’s words await; neither last year’s words or next year’s words may be quite the same as the ones you pen this year, at this point in your life, which is why this year’s words belong in a letter to yourself or to wishes for friends.

Spend quality time together: How to wish others a Happy New Year

Quality time is another love language that may help usher in positive new beginnings for 2024. It can look like planning to engage in New Year’s Eve traditions or activities with your loved ones, being mindful about device use while you’re spending time together, or making plans to connect regularly in the new year. 

Seeking mental health care in the year ahead

Even if you’re surrounded by well-wishing friends and family this New Year, you may still face mental health challenges or need additional emotional support as you move into the next season. While new year quotes and wishes can be inspiring, mental health support can provide the help you need to feel balanced. Meeting with a therapist is one way to seek out this kind of support. They can help you set goals, build self-esteem, implement healthy habits, develop a more positive outlook, and offer guidance on the challenges you may be facing.

Because the holidays can be busy, meeting with an in-person therapist may not always be possible or practical. That’s where an online therapy platform like BetterHelp can be especially convenient. You can get matched with a licensed therapist after answering a brief questionnaire, and you can then meet with them via phone, video call, and/or in-app messaging from the comfort of home or anywhere you have an internet connection. Research suggests that face-to-face therapy and internet-delivered therapy can offer similar benefits in most cases, so you can generally choose the method that works best for you.
