Whoa! I still couldn't believe that 365 days have passed in my life. Why? Because there's not much changes aside from the growth of my kids and the fats in my belly. It seems to me like a few days ago only when I've just planned my life. And I cannot figure out where am I now. Or I refuse to?
Can you relate your own experience to mine? So, how would you like to start your new year? Are you still up to making a list of your New Year Resolutions? Or you've decided not to fool yourself anymore, believing that you won't be able to do anything you're planning to do?
It also came to my mind that I don't have to make New Year Resolutions because I can change (or not) anytime of the year. It means that it doesn't have to have a new year to change. I thought that it's just a waste of time making a list of things that I actually cannot do or not willing to do.
Let's think about it again. Making a list of New Year Resolutions is not only planning or listing your goals. It also leads to our realizations- of our shortcomings, of what we can actually do, of what we should not have done, etc.
So today, I am urging you to contemplate for a few minutes and list down everything that comes to mind. Maybe prepare three or four pages of papers or notebooks or MS Word for your goals, the "look backs", things you want to let go, etc. It has been proven that listing down your thoughts not only help us know ourselves better and solve problems, but also, it helps us reduce stresses. And most importantly, it helps us achieve our goals and be successful.
This year, on top of my list is the "1 hour a day Facebook." Yes, it is. I'm a certified Facebook addict. I spend more than two hours (cumulatively) browsing through my newsfeeds, looking at photos, and watching videos. Sometimes it serves me well. It diverts my attention from a stressful moment. I also learn a few things from reading shared posts. However, it's not always the case. It can also distract you from doing more important things.
Below is a list of New Year Resolution Ideas that you may include into yours. Check it out.
1. Get fit. Do you notice that more people are joining zumba classes these days? You will also see them jogging on weekends. We are also getting more conscious of the food that we eat because we learned that it's one of the possible causes of top diseases, cancer and heart disease are two of them.
