First-second week of the year. Although it is the same day but there is a different feeling. Maybe this year something will be different, something new. I will study diligently. I will go to the gym every day. I will talk to everyone with a smile. Yes, new year means new beginning but…
After four days we find ourselves back at the same place. Nothing changed. And how will it change? When the body is heavy, and so is the mind. Tired and frustrated inside, while desiring to change. So I want to remind you of some things that will make your New Year truly new.
what goes inside the mouth : There is an old saying, like the food, so is the mind. We have largely forgotten this principle. There was a time when there were more people in the house and less food. Now the situation is reversed. On top of that, tempting dishes are available from Zomato-Swiggy in ten minutes. Then this year pay attention to your food. This year the freshest vegetables have to be eaten. You have to feel the cucumber-carrot-tomato with your hands, weigh it with love and put it in the bag. Salad-vegetable-fruits help in keeping the stomach clean and mind clear. Gradually, BP and sugar medicines also halved.
What is coming out of the mouth: The world’s problems would have been halved if we had remained silent at the last moment. Be it a fight between husband and wife or office politics. Whatever you say in anger, you will regret it later. Because the same thing can be said in a better way.
So what to do with those emotions? , If the fire burns inside, it will hurt the soul. Take it out, through a pen. Take a blank paper, pour your sorrows, your complaints on it. Now it is not necessary to say that thing verbally. Even if you say it with a cool mind, someone will listen carefully. This is what happened!
Look within yourself: Pick up a small mirror. Make eye contact with him. 5 sec, 10 sec, 30 sec, 1 min. What is visible in those depths? Perhaps you couldn’t look at yourself even for a minute. Or started crying. Hidden in those depths is a little one, who is called the ‘inner child’. A child who received no love but only abuse for years. So, from today onwards you will say to this little darling – “I love you exactly the way you are”. The soul is yearning for these words. You are perfect as you are. Life is a gift, accept it.
Socialize around: Loneliness is biting everyone today, especially the young generation. So we get top marks in college, but when we get a job, we don’t know basic communication. A panacea for this, choose one person every day. Whether you know him or not. It’s okay if you talk for a couple of minutes. The weather is very hot today, is Grandma feeling mild? Everyone wants to express his views, so he is happy when someone comes to listen.
what next : Every year we think about how we will live, but one day everyone has to go. It is also important to think about that day. What are those things which you are postponing till tomorrow…do them this year. Whether you want to meet your childhood friend or run a marathon, don’t wait any longer.
