"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."  Galatians 5:22-23

If you want the new year to be peaceful and more pleasant practice these things.  It is not easy.  But pick one of the fruits to work on.  Starting with love might make it easier.

I heard a rabbi talking about how God listed each fruit in a certain position in this passage.  Love comes first.  Then joy.  He says that God lists things in a certain order for a reason.  

Have a great day!
