Tamasic food

One should remain completely sattvic on the first day of the New Year and avoid tamasic food.

Sleeping late and laziness

Try to wake up before sunrise on January 1, 2026. Staying asleep after sunrise encourages laziness. It is believed that those who are lazy on the first day of the year will struggle to achieve their goals throughout the year.
