New Year’s resolutions

Is New Year really equal to the new me? Do we really change a bit each year beginning? Why do we need the new year’s resolutions? Do we need them or just a nice cliche? Really the number at the end of the date will change everything? What’s the reason for the resolutions?

I don’t know how you feel about the end of the year, and I know it seems like a big cliche, but I think every New Year brings a new chance for a new beginning. Of course it will be a new year and a new number at the end of the date, but I always feel this is a new beginning. Most of the people make new year’s resolutions and we all know not that much will still exist longer than February. The most common of course to lose weight, stop smoking, stop drinking, eat healthier, go to gym every day, etc. I have my own kind of tradition.

Before or on the last day of each year I make a list. I take out my last year list(s) and check what I have got, what I achieved and what is left. After that I think if I still would like to get those that are left from last year or not. If I still feel I really want those things, I write again to the new list.

Every year the list has some categories, such as relationships, money, career, family, travel, “me time”, personal growth, etc. the most important parts of my life on the paper each year. I write down everything I really wish to get in the next 12 months.

It is very funny and interesting how much our wishes can change during a year or how many things we can achieve. Usually 80% of the list ticked and the funny part is, the points are not ticked I never really wanted. 

This “exercise” is very good to realize our dreams, where we need to still work and see how much we changed. I have been doing this for 5-6 years now and usually I take out all my lists before I start to do the new one to see how much I have changed.

The key is that we should write down everything. Since I started to practice positive thinking, the first rule that I have learnt is that we need to write down everything that we wish to get. Why? Because, if you just talk and think about something most likely you will never take a step to get it. No evidence, so no one knows if we do not lift a finger to work for it, so no guilt either. Instead if you grab a paper and list everything, you will have physical evidence that you have something to work on, you cannot be lazy, you start to feel guilt and most likely you and start to take steps for it. Each time you read the list, your unconscious mind starts to work on the solutions to get each thing. Your mind realizes that you do not have those things, so need a “plan” or “way” to have them. This is just simple psychology. But this is another post’s subject. 🙂

So if you want to take steps for your next year or just want to have a bit of fun, grab a paper and list all your wishes. (Don’t forget, this is still the holiday season, so magic works stronger.- Just saying. 😉 ) 

I am sure one of the points will be this year on my list to continue to be with you and may even help you Spitfires. 🙂

Happy New Year to all of you and see you in 2022!!! 🙂

XOXO,
