New Year is around the corner and it is
officially the last few days of year 2021. As the festive vibe surrounds us
all, it is also the time to reflect. This is the best time we take notes of how
we excelled through the year, what could have possibly gone better for us, and
how this air can be a great start to take over the new year; and kick off a
fantastic 2022.
As an after-effect of the pandemic that we
have all been through, the world has started to rethink life in terms of work,
society, wellness and community and leadership. This brings us to an amazing
opportunity to reach new levels of aspirations as we take insights from the
year. Prioritizing health and happiness has been more important than ever now.
While we had our own varied experiences through the pandemic and through this
year, the world collectively moves to seek better health solutions and create
agile and aware citizens who understand the value of wellness in true terms.
As we list down our personal resolutions for
2022, it is time to prioritize health and happiness- to create a separate
little space where you look after yourself, find work-life balance, seek
fulfillment and satisfaction and start romanticizing life that is around you.
Declutter your space- This is the best
practice that works miracles! Decluttering could mean anything you do to create
more space in your life so that nothing stands in your way. Tidying up your
immediate surrounding could give you a better mindset almost instantly.
Decluttering could also work for your social and personal life, where you start
prioritizing the people that share your vibe, let go of things, people and
situations that bring you negativity. Work on your thoughts and identify the
ones that are useful to your growth.
Customize your wellness journey- After some
delicious and fat-festive meals, it is quite common that a lot of people make
it to the gym in the beginning of the year, and gyms see the highest crowd only
through the first weeks of January. After those days however, the initial
excitement of getting a summer body slowly starts to fade and most of us go out
of track, unable to keep up with those ridiculously vigorous exercise regimes
we made resolutions about. Health Experts say that the best way to incorporate
steps of healthy living is for one to find a routine that suits their existing
life. You need to introduce healthy practices in your life progressively, but
start by making a comfortable regime that you can stay consistent with.
Establish Routine- John C Maxwell quotes, “You
will never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret
to your success is found in your daily routine.” Whatever goals you have for
the year, be it learning, becoming stronger, better or more successful, it all
starts with introducing the changes that your current routine lacks. Routines
are huge parts of our every-days. And so, for example, if you want to make more
peace in your life, giving 15 minutes a day to meditate and calm your body
could reap great results in the longer run. When you plan things for yourself
and stay consistent, it brings a great sense of control over life.
These three ideas can be great initial work to
take up this December as we begin to foresee the coming year on the horizon to
be filled with health, happiness and new spirits.
