I usually don’t do first posts of the year
but I just need to ask, how effective is your New Year resolution? How
effective was it last year? New Year resolutions have been a norm for us year
in, year out. We make certain promises to ourselves, some make it mentally
while some even go ahead to write them down. Sometimes, we share the
resolutions with others and sometimes we don’t, we just plan to work on them
low-key. It works sometimes while some doesn’t work, we just repeat the same
cycle over and over.
The truth is, you don’t have to make those
resolutions if you don’t want to. Some of us make resolutions because everyone
else is making them or because we just don’t want to go with ‘the flow’ which
actually defeats the purpose of making the resolutions at all. It’s another
‘new year’ and I’m sure a lot of us already have things we’ve resolved to do
this year but it’s easier said than done right?
Maybe you want to stop smoking and drinking
this year, or you want to start a course this year, or you want to get that job
this year or save up that money this year, how about you start by taking
conscious steps towards achieving them? Avoid the company of smokers or
drinkers if you can, get the form for the course and pay your fees, apply for
that job, be prudent in spending, etc. the list is endless. Don’t just say it;
you have to act on it.
Sometimes, the promises you fulfill are the
ones you tell no one about. Be quiet about it if you can but don’t let your
actions be quiet. Avoid distractions and focus. Remember why you made the
resolution, how your life is and how you want it to be. Let them guide you
towards actualizing these thoughts. If you have to tell someone, tell someone
who will constantly remind you when you seem to stray, to keep you in check. Be
as productive with your talks as you should be with your actions.
Speak positive. We underestimate the power
of the tongue too much. You have to speak into your life what you want to see.
Give birth to good deeds through good seeds because your words are seeds. The
earlier you realize that, the better for you. Don’t forget to talk the talk and
walk the talk and watch your resolutions become achievements.
Happy New Year Darlings!
