New Year signifies the renewal of various things. They could be tangible or intangible, but regardless of that, it is another chance for you to try to rebuild the weak areas in your life.
Spending this time with your family, or even thinking about them, must be making you recount your year with them and also what you want your future to look like with them in it. You must communicate your feelings through meetings, quotes, or messages.
This will require you to be open, heartfelt, and grateful, and it will take away any emotional burdens you may have because of them.
In this article, we will show you examples of meaningful New Year quotes you can share with your family to kickstart your renewal.
Tips For Personalizing Your New Year Messages
1. Handwrite Your Messages
A handwritten message is better than a typed one because it signifies personalization. Your family can recognize you and even the feelings you were trying to channel out to them through your handwriting. A typed message will give a bland vibe.
If you have many handwriting styles depending on your mood, then your family will have an even easier time feeling the emotions you’re trying to put across in your New Year’s message.
2. Include a Personal Memory or Inside Joke
Part of personalizing means that you go into the shared memories that only you and your family know of. Only talk of the positively impactful ones. Inside jokes also work, just make sure that they aren’t hurtful, just annoying and funny.
You can turn your and your family’s funny memories into inside jokes if you don’t have any yet. Create inside jokes with the family member you feel most alienated from. This will bring you closer together and offer a space where only the both of you can share secrets.
3. Acknowledge Individual Achievements
It being New Year, mentioning achievements is unavoidable. Complement any of your family’s achievements either collectively or individually. Noticing and acknowledging their accomplishments, however and especially small, will make them feel loved and appreciated.
Adding a small prize will physically mark the celebration of achievements and will always bring up the feelings they felt at the time of you congratulating them.
4. Incorporate Family Goals
As we mentioned earlier, New Year is also about setting new goals. You can talk about setting family goals for the New Year that everyone has to do the work on. Don’t just pick out an area of fault in one family member, also put to light the issues that the whole family needs to put input on for it to get better. This will make you more united and your bond will be stronger.
If one family member is at large fault in an area, you should still point this out, but do it in a loving and empathetic way.
5. Be Authentic
Your message should not have the same old words every other card usually has. Put in more emotion and unfilteredness. This means that you shouldn’t change anything about how you would put across your message if you were talking to someone you’re free with.
Use your inside slang, jokes, and memories. You can also express all your emotions before the onset of the New Year so that you feel free to love your family without holding them accountable for something bad they did.
Also, with all these things to do concerning authenticity, your letter will be lengthy and that’s okay. Don’t shorten it, but put out your vulnerable self for your family to see. This will help them understand you and your boundaries.

This is a bold step that will need you and your family’s commitment to changing the dynamic of how things work among you. You will also need to be empathetic as you call some things out and appreciative of any small step taken towards change.
The meeting you’ll hold to address these issues should be at an ideal place and you shouldn’t let emotions take control. To avoid this, always be grateful for their acceptance to take the initiative to change and the good moments you’ve shared.
At the end of the year, there can be prizes or acknowledgments for the family members who meet their assigned goals. This will make the goal-achieving process more fun and motivating for the family.
