Since 2022 is just a week ahead, I wanted to pen down my thoughts on 2021 and my goals for 2022 (which is technically my vision for 2021 and 2020).
This is what each one of us does: postponing depending on the goals and vision for each year. It is totally fine as long as we don't procrastinate and overthink a lot. Many of us try to fit into the frame of “becoming the perfect version of ourselves” overnight, which according to me is highly impossible. We don't change overnight, we change according to each of our experiences and the situations that are thrown to us to face up and cross the huddle. This happens after we make a decision and the change depends on how it leaves an impact on us.
Everyone grows at a different pace and that's fine as long as we can find peace from it. So coming back to the new year resolution culture, having one is not a problem, and also not having a new year resolution is fine as long as we grow marginally with respect to the previous year and previous version of ourselves. At the end of the day, that's all that matters and not the resolution or the promise that you make at the start of the year. It is the action that always speaks louder than words.
Having said that, start maintaining a diary or at least inculcate the habit of writing down your feelings and thoughts so that by end of the year, You will know your progress and the efforts you have taken to be a better version of ourself, if not the best version.
The main thing one needs to concentrate on is mental health and the amount of time spent thinking about the future. Try not to procrastinate too much and start living in the present and take decisions based on the facts present in and at that moment and not based on past experience and situations. This will definitely have a positive impact on the future you are heading to.
Be mindful of all the actions you take and make in the year to keep yourself at peace and at happiness and try to maintain a neat balance between your work, family, and your happy times.
Wishing all my readers a very happy and better year filled with happiness and may all your dreams and wishes come true.
