What is better than New Years Resolutions?
Are you a goal oriented person? If yes, then New Year resolutions might be your thing! However you are not alone if you don't believe in resolutions. Goals can result in putting unnecessary pressure on us leading to frustration on their non fulfillment. However it is believed that people tend to perform better under pressure. I am not not talking about that kind of pressure but like on a moderate level to grow into a better version. Basically if you are self employed like me, with no Boss ( thankfully) then you may need motivation, push and deadlines from time to time; in order to not lag behind. But since New year resolutions have become far from difficult to achieve and continue, I have come up with a different set of 'intentions' for self improvement.
For some (read older generations especially+haughty people) may find posting on social media/ internet a form of narcissism. While I may not fully disagree (some people are on the platform just to boast about their wealth/flawless body etc), the internet is the biggest teacher. It is my daily source of inspiration and motivation and of course host of lessons everyday; from other people's lives. Since I am constantly drawing inspiration from other people's lives on a daily basis, my goal remains to do the same on my platform too; be it my Instagram or blog. Therefore this year I decided to set some intentions of self improvement for my birthday, which would help not only me but others too. Because I learn from others' lives every single day!
While I could go on and on how I celebrated my 34th birthday, (after two lockdown celebrations) , I decided to do something else this year. I have been in a rut lately (two and half years tbh, anyone else relates?) and so thought of coming up with some resolutions that would ensure an improved life. Documenting these here will make me more accountable plus it might motivate many of you (mums especially).

ReplyDeleteThe best part I like about your post is the pics you have posted. Amazing confidence ! Every word of yours is inspiring
DeleteLove the wonder woman on the cake and your resolutions! Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteI like making resolutions but not annual, might be weekly or monthly. The reason behind this is that I believe in doing things within shorter timespan as no one knows where we will be even in days time as Pandemic taught us life is really unpredictable. To explain my view on resolution one hindi song I remember which fits well " jiyo to har pal aisa jiyo jaisa ki akhri ho" My resolution is live life the way it comes.
ReplyDeleteResolution is made to happen but it eventually doesn't, nice post.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures. These are great resolutions. We don't need new year to set resolutions. We can set them any time. The idea is to follow through.
ReplyDeleteAmazing write up....I loved reading this. Keep writing and keep shining.
ReplyDeleteThese are more of way to healthy and happy life than just resolutions. I loved each and every point and specially loved your photos . You look great and I am sure by following the points you have enumerated everyone can have positivity and healthy lifestyle.
ReplyDeleteLoved the vibe of the post. Particularly the resolutions. We need to invest in ourselves too to live our very best. No place for guilty feelings there.
ReplyDeletewonder woman! wow! if u practice your resolutions I'm sure u will be much more than that Jana😊. What caught my eye the most was, 'stop yelling at kids'... I tell myself so much that I shouldn't but I still can't help it.
ReplyDeleteP.S: loved your pics

I normally dont make any new year resolutions. But having said that, I do make resolutions that I feel are necessary for improving my own life. Whatever the case, if you believe in what you have set out to achieve, you will automatically persevere.
ReplyDeleteLove this list you've highlighted but after just watching Top Gun, that "just do" stuck on my mind and have been gravitated on doing that. This is one thing I would surely advice people who want to make a difference in their life. Make no mistake though thinking that it would be an easy job to do. As always, saying is much more easier than taking action.
ReplyDeleteWill say this post was so relatable felt I was nodding in agreement at so many points. Its time for implementation.
ReplyDeleteI wrote a similar post on my 40th birthday. I shared all my learnings, my moods and also got narcissistic. Haha. Have fun. Your resolutions are right on point!
ReplyDeleteHappiest birthday wishes! It may have been your birthday, but I am gifting myself your list of resolutions :D I hope you can achieve all that you have planned for yourself and more!
ReplyDeleteSuch a wisefull resolution. I did stop procastination when pandemic hit. A good happy life is my goal now. Loved all your points, especiallly drink waters, have one fruit a day. Need to start that too :P
ReplyDeleteThe points that you are following are very nice indeed. I am not much into resolutions these days. However, one thing I have learnt through experience is living every moment and being with those who have been with me during my bad times.
ReplyDeleteGreat resolutions, I must say. I never make any though. However, your post is encouraging and must say lovely clicks.
ReplyDeleteKeep the spirit high. I too believe in living the life to the fullest. I don't believe in resolutions but self care and self love do not require any reasons. All the best dear.
ReplyDeleteResolutions are meant to be broken :) Almost all do not last for more than a day.Then it is back to the same old story. I truly respect those who stick on to them
ReplyDeleteI'll say that this post was so relatable that I found myself nodding in agreement at several points. It is now time for action.
ReplyDeleteI am in love with your post...i mean seriously..just loved it .keep inspiring
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great time and love the cake! Your resolutions are real and relatable.
