CHOOSING A BALANCED RESOLUTION
As the year draws to an end to begin with another, it has been a tradition for we humans to make a lot of resolutions, "a belief where by we decide to change some of our undesired behavior for a better result" .
But as days turns to weeks and weeks to months, we find ourselves struggling to keep them. Also some days we tend to make resolutions that we know we cannot keep there by leaving us with regrets and unfulfilled year end.
The results /achievements we make every year is sometimes dependent on our new year resolutions.
For us to be happy 😊 and fulfilled at every year end, we have to choose our resolutions to balance all aspects of our lives. Before we go into balancing of resolutions, let's talk about the aspects of resolutions. 😴
Resolutions come in many forms depending on how you see it, but for now we shall be looking at just 4 aspects.
These include personal care resolutions, render more resolutions , accomplishment resolutions and have fun resolution.
1 : PERSONAL CARE RESOLUTION : This aspect is the most popular, it includes those decisions we make to take care of our personal lives.
Some of its examples include exercising more, taking balanced diet, maintaining proper hygiene, drinking less alcohol, avoid smoking to mention but a few.
The more we improve in this aspect, the more of good health we enjoy and the less personal health crisis we get into thus the more happier we become.
2: RENDER MORE :
Although most neglected than personal care, this is also a very important aspect of revolution.
This includes starting or increasing in your charity works, spending more time ⌚ helping others, friends and family members who are in need of such, donations to charity organizations etc.
As some people may ask, "how does helping others benefit us, how does it contribute to our personal happiness and well being ?".
Helping others contributes a lot to our self-esteem and sense of purpose in life.
Also "givers never lack", when you render more to people, people render more to you. It's an issue of give and take affair.
3: ACCOMPLISHMENT RESOLUTIONS :
This aspect of revolution involves all those steps that we take which leads us to our goals.
These include studying hard to pass exam, working hard to get promoted etc. In order to accomplish more, we have to :-
1: Set up your goals and always make sure you work towards it.
2: Always map out your processes:
These processes must be in synchronism with your set goals.
3: Self-confidence :
To accomplish more, you need to develop have confidence in your self and always believe in yourself. Even if you fail, try again and again, perhaps you may succeed someday.
The power of success and failure is in your hands, if you succeed you caused it, if you fail you caused it.
4: Rejoice when others succeed:
Don't only focus on yourself alone, find out when people around you succeed and rejoice with them, by so doing, success comes your way.
5: Avoid multitasking yourself:
When you multitasking yourself ie doing more than one thing at a moment , you may end up getting yourself distracted or rather half doing both of them.
Take it one step at a time.
6: Always ask questions :
You must be the type that asks questions, try to listen to other people's advice, and their ideas about your goals, compare them and make the best out of them. You must also note the type of people you ask or share your views with. Let them be people you trust.
4: HAVE FUN :
Sometimes neglected but believe you me, it's very important.
As the saying goes, "all work and no play makes jack a dull boy 👦.
Make out time ⌚ to have fun, visit your friends, discover your hobbies and play with them.
For example some days whenever I feel bored, I pick up my piano and start playing a song.
It doesn't mean that I don't have anything to do that moment but at least to feel happy and satisfied for the next task ahead.
Having seen these categories of resolutions, It's is now easy to take a balanced resolutions.
To make a balanced resolution, it doesn't mean you have to pick equal numbers 🔢 of resolutions from each category. In order to have a balanced resolutions, you have to focus more on those categories where you know you need the most improvement, with less concentration given to the others
