As we all about to close another chapter in our life this year, let us all look back to what we had done in this 2021. For sure, there’s a lot of things happen for each and every one of us. Some may experience growth in career, some are happily married now and maybe the rest are still bit skeptical what to do next. Regardless of where you are right now, one thing for sure is that you’d done a pretty good job.
JOB WELL DONE!
If ever you feel like you didn’t make most out of this year, focus on what you’d learned throughout this period. As you realized a lot of things, you can eventually apply it in your life and on how you decide for the next year. Never look down on what you’d been through. You may see it as nothing, but in the end, it will help you in so many ways. Like what Mr. Rob Dial mentioned in his podcast, we need to focus more on the growth rather than the goal itself.
Remember, what’s meant for you, will be yours no matter what happen.
You can always choose to be better. Never lose hope in something that you still haven’t tried. As long as you’re committed into something that you planned, you will always find a way to make it happen. Now that we have a couple of months to officially achieved our plans and goals this 2021, everyone must start to think of their next target for this upcoming year. The earlier you fix your mindset, the greater it will help you to focus on it.

For sure there will be a lot of things that you have in your mind right now. To give you some suggestions, here are some activities that you can start to do in this upcoming year. Whether you do these things or not, it is important that you decide it based on what you truly feel. Like what I stated in this blog, any plan will do as long as it will inspire you to be a better version of yourself.
We are all too clouded with the definition of ideal self. Especially with the influence of social media, everyone keeps hyping up on the different trends of beauty. In the course of looking for that definition, people ended up comparing their selves to others. This comparison can be the source of insecurities and low self-esteem to the rest. As long as they don’t fit on the specifications of being beautiful, self-pity will be the worst thing that can happen to them.
As long as people will choose to be stuck on that belief, there will be no other way to get out from it. To prevent that from happening, one should believe in their own selves. Rather than spending their time comparing and looking for each other’s flaws, it will be more ideal to make time for your own wellness.
Be your own definition of beauty.
You don’t need to keep changing your style just to be considered in their standard of beauty. Invest on things that can nurture your inner self because as long as you feel complete inside, the easily you can glow without realizing it. Here below are some simple things that can help you to achieve your own ideal self.
