Vision for the year to come

It feels great to write down the tasks you have to do and actually completing them, no matter how mundane they are. I think the important thing is to write down achievable tasks and not over plan. So I was able to actually check off everything on my to do list and it feels amazing, I hope I continue to be able to do that, it gives such a sense of accomplishment.  In my earlier post I spoke about how the previous was and how my mental health got affected because of all the things that happened. today I want to write about how I want this year to be and what I hope to do in 2021. It has been a pretty hard year, but I now look to this new year with the belief that things will turn around, and if they do not at least I now have the ability to probably withstand what 2021 throws at me. In order to be able to stand strong the most important thing is to be healthy.  So this year one of the most important things for me is to be healthy, both physically and mentally, because if one is ...

A recap of the year that was

It particularly triggered a lot of anxieties in me which made life quite hard for me, I was constantly worried about what is going to happen and it left me exhausted before the year could even begin.

 Happy New Year!!! In my childhood we used to believe that if we did something on New Year's day then we would end up doing it the whole year, so we'd joke that if we laughed on new year's day we'd laugh the whole day, if we cried on new year's day then we'd cry the whole year and so on. Even though those were illogical and irrational beliefs, it always made me want to make sure that January 1st was always a good day, I would wake up take head bath and wear new clothes and dress up nicely and try to smile the whole day and it almost become a habit and it inspired me to try and do the same every day. I used to even tell myself this new year on Jan 1st I should study, then I will study everyday, but somehow I always failed miserably in trying to study on Jan 1st. Looking back I know that it was rather a lofty goal to set, I  mean who in their right mind would feel like studying on Jan 1st when everyone around you is busy celebrating? And so I always ended up doing...
