It’s a new beginning…

“Two steps forward and one step back is still one step forward”

 

It is here. The new year we have all been eagerly waiting for and also planning into. There might have been so many realizations and new goals list coming up. The new year resolutions and the trending vision board. It is like having a blank slate for yourself, you can write, draw, paint, sketch or even stick pictures of how you wish to be in the upcoming year. It does seem fascinating to imagine a year and plan for what can be done. But what seems even more exciting is doing every damn thing in the starting of the year itself. 

You might have already settled into the gym membership mood or started the skincare or even started planning your days. It all feels so rushing, like adrenaline pumping through the veins with all the newness and getting things done. But do you know why it all seems tiring after a point of time? Well, that secret will stay with me for a while, but until then, let me tell you something even more fascinating. You can make new year resolutions and not do all of them at once. It is absolutely fine to do all of it, still keep going back to old habits and keep going ahead. 

It is like building a new path in the garden you have been walking along. You might take some time to build the new way and it can get tempting to keep going to the already made up way, you might go there sometimes too and it will take hell a lot of control to be back to the new way. Same thing is happening in your brain, new neural pathways are being built hence it is taking so much effort, once it will be comfortable, it will feel just as easy as the old path. Hope this helps you understand better.
