Wish you a very very happy Vikram Samvat 2079, New Year.
Most people come up with new year resolutions to better their life. Which is good & makes sense. Usually, the resolutions start on 1st January.
Though most fail to honor the resolutions within few days.
It’s not their fault, entirely. It’s only that they are not in habit loop to stay committed to their resolution.
Let’s say, someone decided to quit smoking on 1st Jan, new year. They’ll go thru half a month or so, with utmost resistance. Something or other will go wrong, they’ll get stressed & pick back that cigarette again.
Once the resolution is broken, the resentment is at peak. You just relapsed & now are self-sabotaging.
The best one can do is start with new year resolution a month before or so.
Here’s a life hack which will boost your confidence & self esteem in honoring new year resolutions.
We’re blessed to have our new year, in India, around October-November.
Start practicing your new year resolutions (1st Jan ones) around Diwali itself.
This will give you some time. You’ll form patterns which usually takes time & errors in judgements while resolving them. Even if you fail to honor your resolution in this 1-2 month’s gap, it’s absolutely OKAY.
This way you’ve started a habit. You’ll know beforehand what are the pitfalls. How to pick yourself up & you’re all set to start your new year with better insights about things you wanna do.
While the world waits for 31st December, you’re already on your way of setting & honouring your new year resolutions beforehand.
Let’s say you want to inculcate reading habit, you start by reading 20 minutes a day, now. By the time January comes, you’ll easily be doing 30-40 minutes of reading.
Let’s say, you want to run 5km every day, you start off with 1km today & gradually increase it. By the time it’s 1st January, you’ll be comfortably running 5km while others would be struggling to even put their feet down the bed & wake up after that new year eve’s party.
These are tiny lifehacks which makes huge difference. Think over it & start setting up your new year resolutions.
Thank me later!
Wish you a prosperous year ahead!
