As 2022 came I began to invest more and more time into my personal development. For less than a month I started working out again, started to manage my time better, started to plan to move to Sofia again, read a book already, practiced more efficiently with the guitar and more. I am trying to create my life to be better, to fulfill my goals. One of my biggest struggles is order. I like my creative chaos even though I sometimes get lost in it myself.
I read this awesome book called – Atomic Habits – by James Clear. It teaches the reader that small acts of work over time make great results. I cannot recommend the book more (I am going to write more articles on it soon also) because it teaches you that the mundane can be really beneficial and actually is the way for a better life. Everything small and insignificant can pile up into a big chunk of potential benefits or problems. Even the smallest of habits matter.
As a person who values freedom the most in his life, I have come to the conclusion that limitations do not always mean less freedom. The book really made me think about how cutting a bad habit or not participating in things that are destroying your life or future is actually, in the long run, making you freer. This healthy lifestyle, which can be achieved by mundane habits, can be a really life-changing model on which you can stack your future goals. It can open a vast sea of possibilities that you can then use to create your own desired reality.
The book teaches us that everything you do is a vote for the person you wish to be. When you acquire more votes you can prove to yourself that you are or you are becoming that identity. Having meaning in life is not setting goals or striving for something, is the person you become by doing all of that. You are a soul; you are somebody that can change whenever it wishes to do so. You are a fluid that can become everything and by doing so you give meaning to yourself. You give meaning to everything in your life.
For this year I am trying to be more orderly. I am limiting my chaos because I want to become a different version of myself. I am not stopping the chaos, just providing a creative border around it, so it can be directed towards what I want to become. I am not going to promise you that I will write more here, I will try and become more of a writer which in the long run will provide more content. I am doing things differently now, more patiently, more toward a person I want to become and I wish that by the end of 2022 I can see my different self unfolding, the new Chris is being called upon and I cannot wait for all of you to see it! Until next time, peace and love to you all <3
