What is your experience of the New Year so far? NY's tends to depress me, but this year I've been feeling like a few of the elements I put into place at the end of last year - efforts at more financial stability, planning for some focus points for the family, etc, have really helped me to feel a bit better about looking at this year. It's not like a cold bath of water trying to feel better about where things are at in my life, they're already in motion.

Overall, pretty well. I do hate this time of year though, the post holiday slump. But I know it’ll pass in a few weeks.

It's only been a few days but so far I'm doing a lot better in terms of health and finances. I feel that things will be much better this year compared to the past few years. But then again, I said the same thing at the start of 2020 and 2021...

I strongly feel this year is a winning year for most of us. I just feel it in my bones. I hope what I'm feeling is true but nevertheless we all should still be grateful.

Wow. This resonated so much with me. I did feel it on my end as well. Everything in my life seemed to fall into place on the last quarter of last year.

Well, my new year didn't necessarily start on a good note but I'm still feeling positive about the rest of the year, nevertheless. This is the most positive I've ever felt on a new year in a long time.

The new year is looking pretty good so far. Heard some good news on the first day. I'm getting my hopes up, hopefully I don't get disappointed.

My New Year's like just a continuation of the previous year. Although technically it is, it felt like being on the same year. Hoping to get any replies from the companies I sent my resume with.
