Embrace change: Early new year resolutions anyone?
Ah, the allure of New Year's resolutions, a tradition that many of us partake in as the current year wanes. Personally, I find myself in the midst of contemplation, reflecting on the past year and envisioning the changes I wish to embrace in the year to come. Yet, there's a stark realization that dawns upon me - the initial enthusiasm and determination often wane a few weeks into the new year. Life, with its myriad complexities, tends to interrupt our well-intentioned plans. Priorities shift, routines crumble, and external factors exert their influence. Despite these challenges, I refuse to succumb to despair.
In this moment of self-awareness, I've come to understand the futility of waiting until the stroke of midnight on January 1st to declare my resolutions. It was October 11th 2023 when I drafted this post :). It has become apparent that an early start might just be the secret ingredient for success. With this insight, I am embracing the opportunity for a fresh beginning, a chance for profound self-improvement.
Humans, as creatures of habit they say, one has to adhere to any new ritual for at least 21 days to solidify a new behavior into a habit, per various studies. Consistency, it appears, is the key to achieving our set goals. What better way to cultivate consistency than by getting a headstart early, allowing ample time to gather the necessary momentum before the New Year rings in?
Embracing my ambitious, curious, and passionate nature, I am determined to transcend mere resolutions. This time, I am aspiring to be an overachiever, setting the bar high and aiming for nothing short of excellence. Here’s to a head start, unwavering consistency, and a year of remarkable accomplishments.
My resolutions, my promises to myself, echo with purpose: to tell stories, to inspire, to share joy through writing... again, to spend wisely, to reduce the footprint of plastic and synthetic materials, to live sustainably, to meditate every day, and above all, to champion the ethos of "live and let live."
By the way this is my first blog in years on blogger. Although I have been writing and publishing on various other mediums, I look forward to restarting my writing journey with a hope and wish of sharing experiences and spreading positive vibes.
