🌅Why Wait for the New Year?

Once again, it’s that time of the year when we take a moment to reflect on how our year has been. After some introspection, we often focus on our shortcomings. This can lead to setting impulsive goals for the upcoming year, in an attempt to alleviate feelings of guilt.

These goals could be

going to the gym,

acquiring a new skill,

prioritising well-being or

achieving a better work-life balance.

“Every sunrise is a new chapter in your life waiting to be written.”

The new year presents an opportunity for many to start from afresh and embrace new beginnings. Maybe it is this momentary external change that drives people to set New Year's resolutions.

But imagine, if bringing in change in oneself was internalised, by not being dependent on an external event!

Why do we only place the responsibility on the new year?

Why can’t we treat every new day as a chance to start anew, as an opportunity for a clean slate?

We can choose to wait for the new year to reset, or we can reset starting today!
