As we gradually enter 2022, our minds are fully occupied with self-reflective thoughts. While self reflection is appreciated by majority, its not an inherently positive habit. These self reflective thoughts can prove to be at times highly self sabotaging. Therefore, while we take upon the act of reflecting upon ourselves, we should also learn to let go of our concealed past selves. In this article, I will pen down potentially enlightening ways to make a fresh start. My article will largely revolve around the practice of letting go.
A New Year’s Resolution
Foundation of legislating a balanced life lies in a strategic plan of action. While these strategies might seem overwhelming, its presence is a source of direction. As idealistic as it sounds, devising a personalized new year resolution is equivalent to constructing a plan of action. As a consequence, this plan of action will will pave the way to one’s fresh start. For instance, if someone’s new year resolution is to start working in an economic point of view, the first step would be to carefully draw up a CV. This first step falls under the plan of action. Therefore, every step one takes up the ladder, they take one step further to master the art of letting go .
To add on, the contemporary society revolves around social media. It has been widely accused as a cause of the present generation’s feeling of being unproductive. As a solution, devising a new year resolution would act as an obstacle to such feelings and thus, acting as a driving force to future productive projects.
Fresh Start In A Pandemic?
Like previous historical pandemics, Covid took an exhausting toll on every aspect of our life. The idea of making a fresh start while dwelling in the suffocating Covid SOPs seems very incoherent. However, when there’s a will there’s a way.
Rather than giving into the power that coronavirus holds, one should challenge it. To start with, follow the SOPs and get yourself vaccinated. Like any other pandemic, Covid 19 will have an end to it and we’ll have to fight our way through it. Since we’ve been quarantined in lockdown, practicing meditation would be effective to keep a mental health check. To add on, Knowledge is Power. By knowing the gateways through which coronavirus can feed over our host body, we’ll be able to overpower it efficiently. This access to knowledge is very easy considering the wide availability of information through the internet. Thus, a fresh start can be taken even in uncertain circumstances of a pandemic.
Marching Your Way In 2022
The key to making a fresh start lies in letting go of one’s past failures- be it academic failures or a job rejection. One who continues to dwell in the past can truly never appreciate the fresh beginning of a new year. Break the chains that keeps you from progressing. To conclude, while many succeed in moving forward, majority of them move forward clinging onto their past-selves. The solution lies with letting go.
