5 Tips for a Fresh Start in the New
Year 2023
Undoubtedly, we all go through
difficulties in life. But always remember that we have one life to live and we
should try to live in the best way possible. Covid-19 times taught us a lot of
things unexpectedly, which shows that life is unpredictable. We can only try
our best way possible to live happily and healthily.
For me, the first half year was
exciting as my book “The Essence of Motherhood” got published in January,
received a sympathetic response, and got featured in online newspapers, etc. But the
second half year went in more of self-realization and in trying to conceive a
second child. So, I had a lot of visits to the doctor and tried to follow a
fitness routine, etc. Meanwhile, I also realized that I am grateful for so many
people in my life who supported me all the time. There’s always something
around that we’re grateful but in the hustle and bustle of life, we rarely
notice that.
Here’re a few tips I would like to
share with you on “How can you start afresh the new year 2023” positively.
5 Tips for a Fresh Start in the New
Year 2023
1. Be Grateful
Gratefulness is something that should
come from within. Believe me, we all have something to be grateful for. We just
need to learn to appreciate our daily life. Everyone has a story and a past to
talk about, but it depends ever on the day we react to it. So, let’s try ‘being
grateful’ every day for everything by writing or reading gratitude
affirmations.
For eg.
- I
am grateful for my family, friends, and relatives.
- I am
grateful to God
- I am
grateful for this new day.
- I am
grateful for another chance to live my life.
2. Practice
Mindfulness
Mindfulness is paying attention to a
particular thing with no judgment. It helps you to stay focused and concentrate
only on the moment. Be mindful while you’re eating and pay full attention to
the food, the texture, the taste, etc. Same as if you’re playing with the kid.
Try giving full attention to the kid etc. same goes for the work. Don’t merge
two things together.,
3. Set
S.M.A.R.T Goals
Having a goal plays a crucial role in
personal and professional development.
S: Specific
M: Measurable
A: Attainable
R: Realistic
T: Time-bound
It simply means whether your goal is
personal or professional or both. We should set it with real deadlines,
trackable, quite possible, and real. You can start by setting a small goal
based on the day, quarterly, or yearly, etc. Let’s do this in the
upcoming new year 2023.
4. Plan
and Schedule
As mentioned in the above points, you
should have a goal. After that, planning is equally important in how you are
going to lead it.
Without planning and proper scheduling,
you won’t be able to achieve your target. Though you can try out some planners
here and check what’s working the best for you. Remember, it’s about you and
your life.
5. Move On…!
One thing we should learn from the
clock is that “it keeps moving on”. Whether it’s the morning, the afternoon,
the night, etc. it doesn’t stop for anyone. Then why do we?
Let’s take a pause for some time from
everything and relax, but then let’s start afresh with new hopes, new plans,
and fresh memories.
So, today is the first day of the year
2023. Allow yourself to welcome the new year with new hopes and new
opportunities.
Here’re a few positive affirmations to
welcome the new year.
1. I
am worthy of a successful year ahead.
2. I
am entering the near year with an open heart and an open mind.
3. I
am healthy and full of energy.
4. I
am making myself a priority this year.
5. I
promise to be healthier, happier, and wiser.
I would like to know what are your
affirmations for the new year. In what ways are you trying to keep yourself
positive? Kindly comment in the box
