Wow, it’s been that long since my last post!
I’ve been travelling since 18th December and have written some offline posts that I’ll upload soon but today is about reflection.
Reflection is probably the single most important thing that we (I) can do. We generally learn from looking back, what could I have done differently? Why did I do/think/say that? What could I do differently next time?
Michael Jackson’s ‘Man in the Mirror’ has some good lyrics, change starts in the mirror.
So, today, what about the last year? What would I change? What did I enjoy? How did I grow? Again, it’s a lot to process in one day. We (I) tend to focus on the things that didn’t go well, the age old ‘new years resolution’. I’ll eat healthier, I’ll drink less, I’ll….. blah, blah, blah….
What if there wasn’t that huge pressure on one day to change so much? What if we (I) could change just a little bit every day? That’s more realistic. I know that I try and do too much which is a form of self sabotage. Too much = too hard = comfort zone (same old, same old).
There’s such a pressure to ‘celebrate’ the new year, which has expectation attached, which leads to pressure, which leads to stress, which ends in disappointment.
How about one day at a time? Because tomorrow isn’t guaranteed.
