Are you ready to start the new year with a little help from Disney? A simple mindset shift into a better place can sure help! In the words of Peter Pan, “Think Happy Thoughts.” And to Keep Moving Forward was a favorite mindset of Walt’s. We’re combining them all in a slew of Disney Quotes that can inspire each part of your life for a New Year Mindset, reset. So how are you moving forward this year? Here are 12 Disney New Year Quotes to help you start fresh and hit reset.

As planners, makers, creators and doers, we’re in a state of constant reevaluation. Where are we going? What do we want? How can we move forward? If you want to join in, here are the areas of your life to assess, every year. Home, Relationships, Finances, Aspirations, Work, Play, Health, and Spirit. We love this little assessment because it puts you back in touch with the main parts of YOU you may have been neglecting. But, no worries! If this past year has pulled you off-center, grab a notebook or journal, and make a plan to get back on track.

And just like our Disney Hygge Challenge, we’ll be sure to show the way with a little bit of Disney to help keep things magical! You can even check out our Disney Lunar New Year post to help you implement even more balance and gratitude this year.  Here are a few New Year Quotes to inspire so you can reclaim your life in a fresh and fun way that will make you feel like you’re somewhere new. Just like Walt says, it’s time to “begin doing”. 

“Let it go! Let it Go!!!”- Frozen

Get Rid of Tolerations

Okay guys, if you’re feeling like this may be a Disney Self-Help post, you may be right. But, you don’t have to be rocket scientist to know that little annoyances affect your day, and negatively! So if you have a coffee pot that leaks, or a sub-par suitcase that you have to duct tape shut- now is the time to get rid of them!!! Every little thing you have to “put up with” takes away from your positive energy. And if you’re dealing with it daily, it can be even worse! As such, it will come as no surprise that one of the best New Year Quotes is from Queen Elsa herself, Let it Go! And P.S, this isn’t just about stuff… it goes for bad relationships, jobs you hate, committees you don’t want to be on anymore, and stale dreams that are no longer who are. 

If you don’t love it, donate it to Goodwill or Salvation Army. If you’re still holding onto things from past relationships or guilt gifts, get rid of them. Clearing the physical clutter clears the energetic clutter. And physically removing stuff from your home that no longer serves you allows your energy to get cleaned up too! You’ll actually start feeling better after this process.

“Keep Moving Forward”- The Robinsons

Add Something New

New Year Quotes to help get you in to the mood to move forward, and this is one of our favorites. Take a minute and figure out what will help you this year! What can you add to your home that will make you feel a little cheerier. Or remind you to lighten up! Or be more motivated? Whatever your goals, make sure the subliminal messages in your home are in alignment with what you want. Need a “get stuff done” mindset? Add an office corner with your laptop, pens, and a calendar at the ready. Need more down time? Make a cozy corner with some fun books to read. Want to just feel better? Grab a cute Disney Mug to help start your day off right! Need more playtime? Add a puzzle book, or game shelf to help you commit. 

” The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing” -Walt Disney

De-Clutter your Feed

Is your social media life a co-dependency wonderland? If you’re looking to others to validate your self-worth or posting for a reaction, do a quick check-in with yourself and assess your relationships. Both in-person and online. Which ones need more care? Which ones need let go? If you get a knot in your stomach waiting for a certain person to respond, or are emotionally attached to your likes, views, and follows, take a break. Grab 30 minutes out of your day and think about if this is helping or hurting your emotional wellbeing. And then “begin doing” something about it. Just like all the best New Year Quotes, this one calls you to action.

“The call isn’t out there at all, it’s inside me.”- Moana.

Honor Yourself

Say hello to one of the best New Year Quotes to remember. You may have a list a mile long of things you want and need, but nothing “out there” fixes what’s “inside you.” As such, it’s time to reconnect with yourself. There are tons of ways to honor you, your values, and your passions this year. Explore a few socials, blogs or websites to follow that are in alignment with who you are! And get rid of all the ones that don’t. Maybe you love baking or horseback riding. Give some airtime to those things you’ve been dreaming about. And find ways to make time for you. When you step out into this new place and honor new parts of yourself, new people show up to support you. 

“If you can dream it, you can do it.”- Walt Disney

Take Stock of Where You Are

This task is a simple one. Try not to overthink it. Take 15 minutes and make a list of all the money/ bills/ finances you have. This could be your income from a job, a saving account balance, credit card balances, outstanding loans, and budgeted amounts for your groceries, bills, etc. Frankly, this whole process can be scary, especially if you have some debt or post-holiday charges you’re trying to ignore. But, no judgment here. To start fresh you need to know where you are first. Once you get all this down, go to the next step- decide where you want to be. Use these New Year Quotes to help craft your next best step.

“If you don’t know where you’re going, it doesn’t matter which path you take”- Cheshire Cat, Alice in Wonderland

Decide where you Want to Be

So true! But deciding doesn’t have to be hard! One year from now- where do you want to be. Just decide. In 12 months do you want some debt paid off, lower bills, less spending, or to have more money in savings? A better job? A trip planned and paid for? Better bedroom furniture? Whatever it is, if it will require money, write it down. Then divide that number by 12…and see where you are? This will be your monthly goal. So, how do reach it? Well, once you know what you need you can figure that out too. Maybe you need to create something to sell, go back to school, get another job, sell some stuff you don’t need. Make a plan. 

“A dream is a wish your heart makes.”- Cinderella

Add Some Dreams to the mix

That heart of yours…you should listen to it! If you’re employed, finding time for aspirations is difficult. Really difficult. Between managing a job, family, friends, and all those other things required to just keep yourself alive, where do you find the time to do anything aspirational? Well, this is your year to make it happen. Much like giving some airtime to those parts of you that have been neglected, you probably also have projects that have gone the wayside. Maybe it’s something simple like learning about succulent plants, or herbs. Or maybe something more complex like learning to code, or build a tiny house, or write a book. Whatever it is, this aspirational part of you has been trying to get out, so be sure to give it some love this year- you may be surprised where it can take you. 

“When you find out who you are you find out what you need”- Princess and the Frog

Overhaul your Work Life

Whether you’ve been working remote, or on the front lines, chances are this year has given you pause. Are you really doing what you want to be doing? Is it time for a change? Or are you ready for that promotion? Wherever you are in your work life, it’s a great time to assess it. Do you love what you do? If not, think about some options that may be better for you during a transition. Places like Starbucks come with health benefits and college perks and retailers often have fast track management plans that could be right up your alley. The average person will go through 7 career changes in their lives. don’t be afraid of change. As New Year Quotes this one deserve some of your time to figure out what’s best for you.

“You gotta Dig a little Deeper, to find out what you are”- Mama Odie

And much like it’s time to de-clutter your home, your workspace ( whether at home or at the office or even just in the car that gets you there) can always use a fresh start. New pens, file folders, notebooks, maybe a  wireless mouse can all help you feel ready to take on new projects and tasks with a renewed sense of self. If you don’t work at an office, or have your own workspace, even your car deserves a de-clutter. Do you enjoy the morning commute? If not, figure out a new playlist, get a new car air freshener and vacuum the rugs. Anything to help you associate earning money at a job with positive feelings is always worthwhile! 

“The Wilderness Must Be Explored!”- UP

Add Some Play

By far our favorite category on this list, we think everyone needs a little more of play and discovery And we’re not just talking about the mindless tv watching. Not that we have anything against that! Making time for your self-care, relaxing, and making space to enjoy something or get outside are all things that can help reset your body, mind, and spirit! 

Nothing guarantees you will make time for Play like adding it to your weekly schedule. Just like trash day, pizza night, and anything else you have in your regular lineup. If you add some time for reading a few nights a week, or a  game night with friends, it will become second nature to just make time for these things. 

Plan a Vacation

We run a vacation blog, so you knew this was coming. Frankly, nothing can jumpstart your New Year like something to look forward to! And a vacation is usually our big-ticket item to really kick the year into high gear. Whether it’s staying at a local state park lodge with your family, or heading to a beach house, or packing up your tent and hiking gear. There are plenty of safe ways to travel when you put your mind to it. Check out all our Disney Vacation Planning tips if you’re heading to the most magical place on earth this year! 

“On a scale of one to ten, how would you rate your pain?”- Big Hero Six

Improve your Health

One of our favorite New Year Quotes is in the form of Wise advice from Baymax, your personal healthcare companion. By far one of the most neglected parts of most lifestyles these days, it’s important to reassess where you are health-wise. Whether that’s a physical, emotional, spiritual or mental struggle, it’s good to pinpoint a cause of any yuckiness and do something about it. Everyone deserves to be happy and healthy. And the beginning of the year is a great time to take stock. Whether it’s making sure that your doctor/ dentist appointments are scheduled for the year or removing some things from your diet that no longer serve you. Don’t let excuses like your age, genetics, weight, etc. get in the way of this one. Take a minute to assess where you are with your health and where you want to be by the end of the year. You can always make a change if you want to. 

“All around you are spirits, child. They live in the earth, the water, the sky. If you listen, they will guide you.”- Pocahontas

Connect with your Spirit

How are you going to reset and restore your spirit this year? With this past year taking its toll on absolutely everyone, it’s important to take a minute and listen. Whether that’s through journaling, meditation or talking things through with a friend. How can you get back to your center? Listen to Grandma Willow on this one. As far as New Year Quotes go, this one should make you feel supported, for whatever is next.

“You must be imaginative, strong-hearted. You must try things that may not work, and you must not let anyone define your limits because of where you come from.”- Ratatouille

Add a Practice

Just like adding some kind of play to your life each week, be sure to add spiritual practice to your life too. This can be writing in your journal, taking 10 minutes each day to sit on the floor and meditate or even grabbing your sudoku or crochet project to let your mind break. In the book, the Tao of Pooh, one of the author’s favorite practices is simply laying on the floor. While not effective on it’s own, it’s the practice of putting aside time daily and letting your body rest that makes it effective.
