New Year 2020
When new year approaches, we always try to reexamine our life and figure out what changes we would like to make. With a new year, the promise of a fresh start can be the motivation you need to find balance in your life. Balance starts with a conscious effort, it is about establishing your equilibrium and recovering when life trips you up.
It’s easy to get caught up in our busy schedule. Balancing work, family, friends, and other commitments can take up all of our time and energy, leaving little room for ourselves. In order to achieve balance, instead of making regular resolutions, try to make a list of things that you want to your life, where you focus on you. Your main goal should be having time for yourself, so minimise your distractions in a way that you can always find time to do what really matters to you. Create room for reflection before the new year starts, try to light a candle and writing down your thoughts in a journal. Reserve some time to meditate and think back over the past year. Think about where you started and where you’ve ended up. Be grateful. When you practice gratitude regularly, gratitude can help you maintain a fresh perspective and steer you away from daily stress.
Make a gratitude list. Think about why you are thankful for the things you wrote down. By doing this, you can find out what’s important to you and what brings you joy. Think about what you like about yourself. Express love to yourself and repeat the mantra: “ I welcome 2020 with love and gratitude “.
The new year is a good time to figure out what you value in your life. Think about what you do daily, weekly, and monthly. Visualise what is most important to you, what is optional in your life, and what you can completely avoid. Be honest with yourself. Once you remove all the things that are not important in your routine, you may be surprised at what’s left. If you are stressed and tired during the day you need to learn to delegate some of your tasks in order to find balance. Let someone else do some of the tasks you usually do for a change. Delegation is the key to a healthy work-life balance.
Surround yourself with good energy to welcome the new year, let go of negative emotions and you will feel the energy inside you change. Keep in mind that only when you understand your own feelings, you are able to understand others and their motivations, aspirations, and turmoils. Knowing your strengths and limitations allows you to be a better person in general for 2020. It’s important to let go of your troubling thoughts, and send light to past events, in order to transform negative feelings and welcome positive vibes. Setting some time aside each day, to nurture peace of mind, serenity, and calmness is the key to master your emotions and improve your lifestyle.
Prioritise your mental wellbeing. Many of us worry about investing time in how we look while neglecting what’s inside. Feeling good about your appearance and physical health is very important to improve how we feel, but change starts from within, so focus on gratitude and be aware of the blessings you already have in your life. Nurture the relationships that are important in your life, create space for the things you enjoy, and be present. Balance is only possible when you stop worrying about your future and thinking about the past.
Aim to maintain a sense of clarity and calm in your life. Remember that it is important to leave your comfort zone, but it is also important to enjoy quiet time to relax. When you lead a balanced life, your intuition can help you to make good choices. If believe in yourself and your abilities, 2020 can be as bright as you want it to be.
