The past year seems
to be a chaotic year. It was a tough year with hard lessons, but the struggle
was not in vain. 2020 is full of sadness, heartbreaks and pains, but through
this pains I’ve learn a lot of things about myself, I am grateful for that. I
have gone through the darkest moments of my life this year, I am proud that I
survived it all.
A new year has just
begun! I think this is the perfect time to make ways to build self-improvement
into my daily routine and letting go of negative thoughts about myself. I want
become a better version of me this year. I want to make an immediate impact on
my life, I am willing to take action. First thing I need to do to make a big
impact on myself is to prioritize myself more before others. I believe we
should all be a bit more selfish. We should all prioritize our own needs. We
should take care of ourselves before taking care of other people.
Second thing I need
to do is to incorporate gratitude into my daily life. Last year I am struggling
to find things to be grateful for because there are many negative thoughts in
me. Now I will find some small ways to be thankful daily. I will express my
gratitude for the time and support that people give to me.
Third thing is to get
out from my comfort zone. I was getting to comfortable. It was time to stick my
neck out farther. I’m encouraging myself
to do things that I wouldn’t normally do. I will take my time to make my
decision on my daily actions. I will try to learn new things and to discover new
things. I thing this ways will provide me a state of mental security.
Fourth this is to
acknowledging my flaws. It’s hard for me to deal with my flaws but I know that
this flaws makes me different from everybody else and that’s a good thing. From
now on I will stop comparing myself to anyone and I will always remember that
perfection is an impossible standard. I will put things in perspective and
appreciate my individuality.
Fifth thing is to
getting rid of toxic people around me. To be honest, coping with toxic people
has never been my specialty. Toxic people will pollute everyone around them,
including me if I allow them. We have
all toxic people in our lives who can’t be avoided but we can do some ways to
deal with it. If I feel that they drag me down I will not waste my time talking
to them. I will recognize and distance myself from their behavior. I will set
limits with toxic people.
Last thing I need to
do is to let go of the past. There are grievance or unhappiness from the past
which I have been holding on and I need to let them go for the betterment of
myself. I will break away from the past, forgive myself, and move on. I will
accept fully where I am today. Embracing it completely and saying yes to all
worry, shame, and guilt.
This year, I will get
myself corrected to become a better version of me, both for myself and also for
the people around me. I am now ready to write the next chapter of my life. “Learn
from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.” Happy New Year!
