Well Hello There, 2023, Here’s What I learnt from 2022 – Change is bloody painful, yet, bloody good
Oh no, another post on 2023 New Year Resolutions, you say! Yes, it is, and no, I won’t carry you on a painful, wordy, journey of self discovery, I’ll keep it short, just like the readers like it today. Their life quotes summed up in bite size Instagram posts! My new year revelations are just the same! So go ahead and give it a read, perhaps you’ll pick up a gem, or you’ll nod your head for having felt the same, or perhaps you won’t.
Here’s the love and learning from 2022 – share it forward in 2023!
1. Audio books save so much time and also help you achieve your walking goals
2. Consistency, not genius, is key to making breakthroughs in life and achieving goals
I guarantee if you start a new habit and keep at it for 90 days, it will become part of your DNA. Try it. And the results will pile on just as gradually. It could be starting a 5 minute exercise routine daily, meditating, sleeping early, keeping your phone away or calling up your mom everyday. 90 days is the magic number!
3. All those self help books do work but only if you practice what’s inside them
Yeah, it’s all about the take! Don’t just read it and talk about it. Read it and if it vibes with you, implement it. I’m starting with the 5 am Club and waking up early. I read the book in 2022 and time to stop talking about it and doing it! Join me if you’re struggling to snuggle in early. The mantra works, those early morning hours are just super to get some quiet concentration in.
4. I must speak up against negativity even when it’s not directed at me, because US is more important than I. A whole lot of I’s become US
I have been promoting this mindset all throughout 2022. It is important to fight negativity with positivity. Research has it that most people who have positive viewpoints to share, stay silent. Most people who have negative viewpoints to share, speak up. So don’t stay silent, speak up. Balance the metaverse and counteract that negativity now!
5. Try not to color your vision by what others tell you of a situation or person
Stay balanced, that’s all. Everyone deserves a chance. People are grey, not black or white. Just like you and me. So cut them some slack, listen to their side of the story. Listen to all sides of the story, Do your due diligence and research into a matter from all sides before you comment on it, so as not to take on someone else’s perspective but yours. You should be able to own your thoughts, and that comes when you’ve had a chance to think about an issue with an open mind
6. Learn to be grateful for what you have rather than wanting someone else’s life. Remember, they might be wanting yours
Oh this is the best one! Be your own competition. Teach yourself to win over you, and not over a friend. Yeah, competition drives business, and assures quality but try to tell the difference between toxic competition and healthy motivation. There’s a fine line, don’t cross it! Let someone be your inspiration, rather than an object of your envy!
7. Children are the best teachers
That one is self explanatory. Try it. Ask their perspective on matters. they’ll water it down to a simple solution, because CHILDREN ARE JUST AWESOME – Trust me! They will make you see the uncomplicated version of life – pure, simple and true!
8. Self pity is probably the most demoralizing emotion to nurture in your soul
Self pity prevents you from seeing your own strengths and capitalizing on them. You’re too busy feeling sorry for yourself to get ahead and catch the silver lining in the cloud. Don’t be that dark cloud, be the silver lining and boy, you’ll see things you were meant to see!
9. Change is bloody painful, yet, bloody good!
You just have to ride the wave and do it often enough. Nothing should stay permanent, else you stagnate. Innovate, be dynamic and break the mould again, and again and yet again! The struggle, the blood, sweat and tears make the person you are today, sometimes the challenge comes from divine intervention and sometimes you can set yourself goals to reach that are hard enough to motivate you and simple enough to achieve without killing yourself – find the balance but don’t stop playing the change game. It’s only the rule of life that will get you to stay relevant, always!
10. Difference of opinion is where conversations begin
Learn to get along with people who hold a different world view than yours, but also, learn to hold those close to you who will lift you up, be your support group and challenge you to be the best version of yourself. Value these people, being in their company is all the therapy you need.
And that’s it folks! Happy New Year, stay blessed, keep dreaming and let this year be the one where you begin to break the mould with your very own 10 Rules of 2023!
