| How to make this New Year Count? |
It is a new day, a new moment and a New Year. The Previous year has been filled with joys and lessons of its own.
Besides growing a year older, it brings a lot of hope and aspirations that are waiting to be fulfilled.
Resolutions and promises are waiting for their execution. I personally can get quite superstitious about the 1st of January.
But this year I am not going to buy into that obvious lie. For me, this is the year of Slaying BS. I am going to focus on cutting out things rather than only fulfilling my New Year's Resolution.
Some Areas of Focus
It is easy to think that Self Development is only about you. I think this is farther from the truth. It is also about community and people.
If you ever wondered why people join cults or keep bad company, besides feeling good they are looking to better themselves.
I think New Year's Resolution is a way of expressing it. Rather than dismissing the whole exercise, we must write some of the things we would like to achieve in the coming year.
Don't look at them as targets but choose to accept them as aspirations. They are no longer just targets you desire but desires that seek to be a reality.
Areas such as Health, Public Image, Finances, etc. are some places we can work on.
Enablers vs Empty Routines
I am sure you have heard me promote Journaling and Affirmations. I believe these are tools that enable us and remind us of what we need to focus on.
Focus is the main game, there are a lot of people and things vying for attention. I think it is also important to bring in some enthusiasm, it makes the routine more fun and filled with a healthy passion.
Just doing activities may bring some amount of results, but sustainable results are something we all want.
Having the right kind of situation may not always be possible. Sometimes we need to take control and make things a possibility in the light of change and dynamic situations.
Developing a System that works for you
All Routines are not empty, I think only those that are not connected to some goal or personal joy are.
It is important to work on a system. Systems work together to achieve a focused task, Think of a clock. So many working parts and one goal, telling you the Time.
We can break down our goals into tasks that work together as a system. Of course, using and modifying the system would be essential.
Think of them as updates on your Mobile phone, we plug the gaps and improve the working of your device. Similarly, we can modify the system we create to help ourselves.
Oh, it may not work, Yes that is a possibility. But think about it you are working on your goals and taking concrete steps towards fulfilling your aspirations or goals.
Using Patience
Being Patient is sometimes the only resort. We must build it up as a part of our usual routine.
It is also a reminder we don't need to get it right the first time. In some cases, we may also need to seek help from others in fulfilling certain goals.
Be Patient and give yourself a chance. Be that Boss you always wanted. The one that motivates you and understands you too.
Lastly, learn from others
Responsibility is about responding rather than whose fault it is.

Competing with yourself is all good. But what's wrong with raising your standards and learning from others.
You can broaden your (mental) horizon by looking at things from another person's point of view.
Competing with self has its limitation and why be limited.
Concluding Thoughts
I would like to conclude by wishing each one of you a very Happy New Year. May you truly have a fulfilling and joyous year.
Thank you for the constant support and time you take to read my thoughts. Do share it with others.
Remember it's your Year, your time and your response. See you in the next post. Ciao!
