It’s now curtain call time for 2022. As the new year sets in, let’s look forward to it and hope that the next year will be a good one.
If you haven’t set your new year resolutions yet, here are seven things you can consider doing for yourself to bring positive changes in your life.
1. Take a day off
If you can, take a day off from work just to reflect on your year and spend some good ‘me-time’. Try to spend the day with slowness and ease. Spend it just on yourself and prioritize self-care which will make you feel refreshed and energized to look forward to the new year.
2. Create a new year plan
Planning an year ahead helps you get more clarity on what you want to focus on. Here is a list of things you can include in your plan – health and wellbeing, relationships, career, and personal growth.
3. Finish all the pending tasks
It is always better to start the year fresh, leaving nothing due from the previous year. Try to finish all your pending tasks that you have from work or personal life.
4. Forgive those who hurt you
As important as it is to finishing pending tasks, and clear out old stuff, clearing your heart from all hurt, grudges, and negative feelings is also important.
5. Give importance to self care
Set yourself as your top most priority. Be kind to yourself, go slow with your everyday tasks and observe yourself. Try to fill your daily acts with as much love and kindness as you do for others and continue to do them.
6. Take a break from social media
To give your mind a break, take a break from all your social media accounts. Use this time to assess where you are in life, and the things that matter.
7. Reflect on your year
To gain clarity, assess how you spent the year, lessons you learnt and what you want to take forward to the next year.
