Año Nuevo, Vida Nueva
“Of the four pounds that I decided to lose this year, I’m only missing eight.”
We are two weeks from the end of the year, and if you have not fulfilled your resolutions... you’re almost too late.
But the good thing is that another year arrives and with it the possibility of starting new projects and achieving new goals. Starting with the basics ... to have work and to be happy with it.
Since the past can’t be changed, it’s time to prepare ourselves for what follows. Prepare mentally to restart, just like when we go to bed and start thinking about what we will do the next day; now that the new year is about to begin, let’s organize ourselves so that it is better.
Remember that if you didn’t achieve what you wanted, you are not starting from scratch, you already have the experience of what went wrong, or maybe your goal was too idealistic. This is important because it makes you see that you can fail, but you can always get back on track.
Another important thing is to ignore the negative comments, “... see, I told you it was too much”, “... I told you that was very difficult”, “... you don’t have what it takes to achieve it “, etc.
What do they know? Don’t let someone tell you that you can’t and least of all someone who has not tried. These people are usually envious or with little capacity. Good and successful people support you and tell you: “... Hey, if I could, you can too”.
There are countless examples of people, even disabled or affected by an illness or accident, who achieve everything that they proposed.
It’s difficult to suggest something specific, because each person works differently; get informed, consult different techniques of motivation, visualization, etc., and adopt the one that is best for you. Something you can also do is choose a slogan, mantra or motivational phrase that suits you, and repeat it in your mind.
This, for example, is from the Dalai Lama: “Today I was lucky, I woke up and I’m alive. I have this valuable life and I will not waste it.”
