New Year’s Superstitions To Travel More
As you know by now, there are all sorts of New Year’s superstitions and New Years traditions from around the world. From eating 12 grapes to preparing good luck foods for New Years Eve or wearing the right color underwear, these traditions & superstitions can get quite interesting.
Did you know that there are New Year’s superstitions for travel? So, what’s your dream trip? Do you picture yourself in Italy….enjoying the historic sites or perhaps wine tasting in Tuscany? Do you prefer a Nile river cruise to explore the ancient pyramids of Egypt? A cooking class in France? Hiking the National parks, or do you plan to sail the Caribbean on a new cruise ship?
Whatever your dream destination is, some superstitions are said to increase your chances of travel in the New Year. We know that some of them sound strange, but they could increase your chances of making 2025 the year of travel for you.
With Your Packed Suitcase In Hand, Run (or at least walk) Around The Block
This superstition is prominent in Colombia and several other Latin American countries. If you want to travel in 2025, you first need to pack your suitcase the right way. Put items in it that you would wear at the destination that you want to visit. So, if you long for a beach getaway, pack summer clothes; if skiing is on your list, pack a couple of winter clothes. Then, run around the block at midnight on New Year’s Eve. While your neighbors may think you are crazy, it could bring you lots of travel in the new year. If you don’t want to run around the block, you could also run around your house, or even 1 room, seven times. Don’t forget your luggage.
Write Down Your Travel Goals
Lists are a great way to track things you want to do. For those with travel on their minds, writing your travel dreams down is essential. While simply writing down your dreams is a good start, there are a few extra steps you can take to manifest your travel aspirations. Get clear on the details – write out your #1 dream destination and 2-3 runners-up. Jot down specific experiences you hope to have, like seeing the Eiffel Tower in Paris or snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef. Then, break your travel goals down into budget and timing. Research costs for flights, hotels, and activities and create a savings timeline for when you’d like to take your trip. Mark your target travel date on your calendar. Envision what it will feel like to save the money and embark on your adventure. Display your written travel goals prominently on a Dream Board in your home. Revisit and revise them regularly. Track your savings progress. All of this conscious manifestation could help turn your travel dreams into reality! Visualize yourself traveling and write down where you want to go and why. Then, put your list in a prominent place where you can see it daily. Why not create a travel vision board? Read more on How to Create a Travel Vision Board.
Stand On A Chair With A Suitcase In One Hand And An Umbrella In The Other
If you want to avoid running around your house with a suitcase, there is a similar practice that can bring you some travel luck. At midnight, stand on a chair with an open umbrella in one hand and a suitcase in the other. This may increase your chance of traveling in 2025. Clearly, this one could be a safety hazard.
Walk-In And Out Your Front Door, then Repeat
Do you have a certain number of times you want to travel in 2025? If so, grab your suitcase and walk in and out of your front door that many times. While doing this, try to visualize the places you want to go.
Put Your Luggage Outside Of Your Front Door
For some added luck on New Year’s Eve, place your luggage outside your front door and leave it there until the next morning. This will encourage travel in the New Year, and it certainly beats running around the block with a packed suitcase or standing on a chair with an open umbrella.
Feng Shui “Your Helpful People Corner”
The bagua is the feng shui energy map of your home. The northwest corner of your home or office is your helpful people corner. When you activate this corner, it is believed you will attract blessings, have increased contacts, more helpful people in your life, and more travel as well. To activate this area, you would need to use metal. Metal is said to open up opportunities. Consider a metal picture frame of a past trip, a metal sculpture, or a framed map that ties into travel as well. Anything that moves, such as a TV, fan, or pendulum clock, is also good. This will bring movement and change in your life. Add images or messages of thanks and gratitude to manifest helpful people and more blessings to come to you. The helpful people and blessings feng shui bagua area also support the energy of travel, so if you want to travel more, be sure to express this energy here. Earth elements will bring about travel. Consider crystal rocks, Himalayan salt candle holders, clay pottery, or pictures with landscapes. It could also be as simple as your paint color, a throw blanket or pillow with earth tones such or taupe, light yellow, or beige. Read more on Feng Shui Good Luck tips for the New Year.
