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 not good, it has a direct impact on the other. I have seen it getting really worse in 2020 and I don't want to put myself through that anymore. I am not making any big resolutions about weight etc because I have been down that path and it hasn't done me any good. But what I want to d with regard to my health this year is to be mindful about it, take small actions toward a healthy living, try to incorporate some sort of exercise into my routine to begin with. And most importantly be more regular with my therapy sessions, I have a tendency to completely neglect it sometimes and not make enough time for it. Having regular therapy will help me to be able to deal with my anxieties and be in tune with myself and track my mental health better. 

The second priority this year is to be able to gain a sense of accomplishment. This can come through various avenues, whether it is going to be through my research or writing or whatever else it may be. I want to do the things I set out to do. My plan is to break down the bigger goals into smaller achievable goals which could be further broken down into doable tasks each day and do my best to finish them. When 2020 started I didn't have a clear vision of what I want to achieve, I was so focused on discharging my duties in ASA and kept everything aside with the assumption that everything else will fall in place eventually and that things have a way of taking care of themselves. However, I now see that giving it so much time and giving myself less time and neglecting my health and priorities was a bad idea, because when things fell apart for me in ASA I fell apart too and it was bloody tough to pick up the pieces and be whole again. So I do not want that to happen to me again, I want to be more balanced in the way I handle things, I know it is not going to be easy to do that ,  but I am going to try my best. 

The third priority this year to be able to acquire new skills. We live in a fast paced world where everything is changing constantly and so quickly, and the only way to survive in such a world is to be ale to adapt that change, whether it is in terms of personal life or professional life. therefore I want to learn some new skills, for various reasons, to be able to adapt and survive, to be able to feel young again and just for the happiness of learning something new. I have a few things I have in mind that I want o learn this year, I am not jotting them down here because I want to take some time to think it over before finalizing them. 

This sums up what I want to do in this year, I have not written down any specific goals as such because things may or may not be conducive for doing things all the time and not being able to reach them is going to affect my sense of self worth and I do not want that. Keeping my goals broad will help me incorporate anything into them ad achieving them will definitely give a bigger boost. I feel a little more positive about taking things forward this way. So this is me aspiring for a better 2021

I can feel myself drifting away from all the things I wanted to do, every time I try harder to stay on track it makes it so much more difficult to do them, and if I just stop trying, I am overcome with guilt which creeps up on me the moment I seem to lose focus and it weighs me down like a heavy burden on my shoulder. So basically I am stuck in a loop of trying to just take a break and feeling guilty and straying further away from my goals and aspirations. And sometimes when I contemplate hard about where things are going I go on a down an even more dangerous path and I am afraid of what would happen if I go there.  So I keep trying to shun the guilt and numb all feeling and escape to a place that doesn't make me feel uncomfortable. While I am able t do that when I am wide awake, I seem to have no control over what I dream, it taps me on my shoulder in my dreams and wakes me up so I don't sleep and keep pondering over what my life is going to be like. And that is one of the mos...

Yesterday, I watched the movie Bombshell, it stirred up a lot of emotions for me while watching that movie, I couldn't hold  my tears back, while watching it, especially this particular scene, wherein there are women who were harassed by Roger years ago, and each of their experiences are played out one by one, it was very distressing to hear it, this was the scene that shook me. There very many others, but this particularly had some impact on me. It has never been easy for women to come into the workforce, women have always been a lopsided world, the way things work for men are different and different for women, you are put at a disadvantage right from the start even before you can begin, because you're a woman, it automatically is assumed that whatever you do, a man can do it better, it doesn't matter how good you are at the job. The first thing you're seen as is a sexual object more than a good worker, what ever the role may be, if someone helps you out in somethin...

The Beginning

As a young adult I have always wanted to be a writer, and i wrote a lot of stuff, which i wouldnt exactly call great, so i felt embarrassed about it and then i stopped and then i started to write again but, no longer with the same ease that i did earlier on, now I keep struggling to write, I keep getting stuck at every point, I don't know what to write about so I thought of taking it up as a challenge this year, to write at least 250 words every day, about anything, without worrying about how good or bad it is, and see how that might help me in honing my writing skills. I hope I am able to follow through on this and not leave it like I did before. Earlier I thought I could postpone one day's writing to another but that only makes it worse, so the important thing is to not keep any backlogs I suppose. Let's see where this takes me.
