Every year we promise ourselves to do something different, something almost impossible for our minds to imagine, and we try to push ourselves too hard just to give up.
We often end up blaming ourselves for not being competent enough, not being smart enough at times, being a jerk, being too kind and foolish to let someone else take over our wheel…
Let’s try something different this year. Every night before you go to bed write down one thing you did earlier that day that you were proud of. It may be something simple as helping someone cross the road, an instance where you stood up for yourself, something new you learned, or something you said that made someone smile.
At the end of the year, read through the pages, and I promise, you’ll be amazed at the incredible person you were which you’d probably never known before. At the end of the year, you’ll have a notepad full of things you can be proud of.
Bad stuff? No, you would have probably forgotten them, and even if you didn’t forget them, hey come on, you have another notepad full of fresh pages to start again, to set things right, another new year…
Wish you all a Happy New Year.
