New Year Resolutions - Did You Make Any?

Every year at about this time, a lot of people set on paper what they intend to drop and what they intend to pick up in the new year.

I remember years ago, when I was still trying to understand life and the process of living, I never really was into new year resolutions because for me then, it was easier written than done. 

What I mean is that it was easy to write down all the things in the world that I was doing "wrong" and would love to drop and the ones that I actually would love to take on; but no sooner the resolutions were made than they were broken.

I considered it then as an exercise in futility.

But when I turned 18 so many years ago, I came to realize that it was not the paper on which the resolutions were written that actually made it difficult for me to keep, but my mindset. I realized that I was the one sabotaging my own efforts at being a "better" person and so I told myself that I needed to 'alter my mindset" and I did that.

For over 50 years since then, no year has passed by without my resolutions being written out on paper and without me going all out to ensure that I keep to them.

And as the years have gone by, my resolutions have continued to drop in number, no longer about things to drop, guess all the habits are set now; but more on what to give and how to give it.

That's it

And so, how about you?

Do you make resolutions?

Have you found it worth the while?

or do you think it is an exercise in futility?

Share your opinion with me

And have a wonderful day

What to Do When Your Plan Is Derailed

 1. Be angry for a (short) while. Then, move on.

When things don’t go as planned, getting angry is the first reaction you may have.

Angry at that person who betrayed you, at that company who is not treating you the way they should, at your friends for not supporting you enough, at the entire Universe! 

I see anger as a way of being true to myself, saying how I sincerely feel.

It is not about letting your rage out on anybody but rather confiding in someone who knows you well, or if you can’t find that person, writing it in your journal or a letter for yourself.

Let those words come out, get them out of the way, and then… move on!

When channeled carefully and wisely, anger can be used as a  force to avoid dragging your self esteem down.

It can lead you to a better understanding of who you are and what you want in life.

It can offer you the opportunity to reassess what really is this lesson life is trying to teach you.

It will enable you to take action rapidly instead of just letting things happen to you.

2. Remember: you are growing.

We could have called our experience a failure. Yes we failed in a way. But what we learned in return was so much bigger and valuable than the “feeling of failure” itself. 

Difficulties make you grow.

It is not something you can see right away, you need to experience discomfort first, step back for a while and then turn into yourself to try and see things differently than what the outside world is presenting you.

Through this bad experience, we found the opportunity to learn about our personal strength, courage and willingness to face changes and jump into the unknown.

We learned how lucky we are to be together and how much stronger it makes us. 

We learned that job and money comes and goes. 

But being together as a family and experiencing love, trust and happiness, especially in uncertain times, is an indestructible power. 

As Maya Angelou once wrote “You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it”.

3. Stay true to your values.

And if you haven’t done it yet, start defining them. 

Values act like guidelines.

They point you in the right direction, particularly when you feel lost.

Referring regularly to your values is the best way to remember what is truly important to you and will help you make better decisions according to what truly matters to you. It will even give you another perspective on what you are facing.

Two of my top core values are living in harmony with my family and being healthy.

My everyday actions were always aiming at staying true to these 2 values.

It gave me a sense of direction and stability when everything felt so uncertain around me.

4. Cultivate optimism.

You may have a lost a battle.

But it is part of that game called life if you dare playing it wholeheartedly.

How about trying to see things differently and remaining hopeful when things don’t go as planned?

A friend of mine recently advised me to be extremely vigilant and careful with our next big life decision as this world is filled with people with bad intentions.

She was partly right, that’s something we learned through this experience in a way.

But her reaction made me understand something else: when things don’t go as planned, you can either chose to fall into negativism; or, you may also take this opportunity to cultivate your natural optimism!

I refuse to believe that most people out there are trying to cheat me, betray me or take advantage of me.

Sure there are some, but if all I got from this experience is suspicion and constant fear of others, then firstly I will become one of them and secondly I will have completely failed at learning what life was really trying to teach me.

Chose to believe that your next experience will be fantastic! What do you have to lose?

5. Set up a daily healthy routine.

A daily routine creates a structure in your life that you probably lack when life doesn’t go according to your expectations.

This routine is very personal, it is up to each of you to see and create what is best for you, the intention being to set up a ritual you can manage to do for the rest of your life, ideally!

For me, having the discipline to get up earlier and enjoying 1 hour for myself to stretch, meditate, plan my day and read a few articles while drinking my coffee was and still is the ideal routine.

It was something I had been thinking about for years.

And what better timing to create that challenging habit than in difficult times?

This routine will give you a great sense of achievement and satisfaction, it will provide you with that missing stability.

It will give you something to rely on with the wonderful benefits of being and feeling healthier.

In other words: the ideal mindset to rise from difficult times!
