A few months before 2020, I bet everyone of us has already laid out plans for the coming year. Given quite a number of long weekends, w e already have a good idea for our vacation plans, how will we utilize our work leaves and where will we go during our holidays. Then enter 2020. January proved to be not a good start of the year. There were volcanoes erupting, celebrities dying and yes of course Covid-19 pandemic . Covid-19 pandemic which is caused by the Coronavirus resulted for most of us to be locked down in the comforts of our own homes. Employees were advised to work from home and stay away from the public to contain the spread of the virus. Unfortunately for some, their livelihood was taken away because working from home is not feasible and their company has no means to sustain the workforce. Experts say that the world will be going to a period of depression and many more jobs will be inevitably ...
You might find this blog a bit late but sorry, I was busy getting fat during the holidays.
Every end of the year, I always have a set of New Year’s resolutions. These are the promises I have committed for myself to have a better life for the coming year. Then I asked myself, why do I have to wait for the New Year to have a goal? Actually come to think of it, it is always better to have New Year resolutions that will serve as an opportunity to start all over again until you achieve what you want to accomplish.
Well, let’s sit down together and start listing realistic resolutions in our life.
Here are some easy and manageable resolutions with some tips
to help you fulfill them.
1. Stay fit and healthy:
Most of us have this item in our
list. You don’t need to set high standards like going to the gym every day,
completely cutting out junk foods or eating vegetables exclusively. You don’t
need to go that extreme! Just try your best to maintain a healthy and balance
diet. Include vegetables in your meals, reduce the carbohydrate intake, and
drink plenty of water. If your schedule and your budget permits, try to enroll
in a gym. Alternatively, you can do some in-house exercises or try running
outdoors. No more excuses. Don’t be lazy. Get up! Tie your shoe laces. Start
small and work your way up!
2. Less stress:
As my husband always say, “Stress is just the
result because we accept things negatively”. We create our own stress. But in
reality, stress is always there. Living an adult life, stress is everywhere.
Try to minimize being stressed by engaging with sports or any hobby or activity
that you like. Less stress, more fun! If you are stressed because you’re
anxious about what people are thinking of you, don’t be. The world does not
mandate you to please others! It's just that some people simply can’t be pleased
no matter what you do. Life is too short to allow yourself to be stressed.
3. Travel more:
Be specific on the places you want to go.
Turn excuses into goals. If you think travelling is expensive, research how
much you need to spend. Create a plan for the budget you will need. You have to
be financially organized. In addition, travelling need not to be expensive. You
don’t need to take a luxurious airline or stay in a lavish hotel. Also, you
have to properly coordinate your work commitments and travel schedule. At the
end of the day, we work to live, not live to work.
These are just simple resolutions that I think are very
attainable. Let’s do our best to make it happen and have a better 2019 ahead
for everyone!
