If you are reading this, congratulations! you made it through the freakiest year in history. Hold on, just three more days and then you can proudly display “2020 survivor” on your social profiles. This year has been a big shift to our lives all across the globe which made us realize why it is so important to celebrate life with the people we love. Which made me think deep over the past few days on what all has happened in the world in this year, all the ups and downs or should i say downs and more downs. With the next year approaching, everyone has set their hopes high with a little retrospection and reevaluation which everyone does before the year ends. This is the perfect time to sit down and make all the life changes that you have been thinking to make but never really took out time. It is the perfect chance to start afresh with literally anything, be it a relationship, a life of your dream, anything that may change your life and help you become a better person in the coming year. So, here are some common things that we all should try and leave in this cruel year and be more kind towards the society and yourself as well. Sure, a New Year cake will be a kind gesture, but other things can help too.
Procrastinating
First and most important thing that you should leave in this year and never carry along in the next year is procrastinating. You may not admit it, but we all know that we are guilty of this habit and to be honest I promise myself to leave it every year on the new year, but it seems like I’m still stuck with it.
The habit of procrastinating stops you from achieving many things in life. With the end of 2020, it’s time to move on to other fresh and exciting things. So, if you want to achieve something in life, stop waiting and start doing.
Holding on Grudges
You know, one very important thing that 2020 has made me realise is that life is too short to hold grudges. I have always read it in the quotes, but i understood the real meaning this year. After losing so many known ones in 2020, I released that You may not forgive a person and they may die, you will live in guilt forever. So, holding grudges in not only waste of time, but is a hindrance to mental peace as well. So, learn the art of forgiving because sooner you forgive people, sooner you move on on a peaceful track.
Comparison with others
You know social media is all boon but one thing that’s bad is that it makes the lif of people look so fancy that you are forced to compare yourself with others. your achievements, success, relationship, anything will never look perfect if you have the habit to compare your life with others. You will easily find so many relatable quotes that say everyone has a different journey, don’t compare yourself with others. Nothing will actually work if you yourself dont leave this attitude of comparing your life with your friends, colleagues or anyone who’s life looks fancier than yours. Once you stop doing it, you will feel that you have less problems, less difficulties in life.
People who drain energy
Okay, it is true that some people have a negative vibe. Even if you don’t believe in vibes and all, you will believe that some people make you feel drained even after meeting. These are the kind of people that should be left behind in 2020. I know it feels rude to stop talking to someone like that, but when you know that it is for your own good, and they make you a negative soul, saying bye bye becomes easy.
Attempt to please everyone
Stop pleasing everyone, I repeat, just STOP. We live in a society that is never going to be satisfied no matter how much you try. When we try to please everyone, we tend to kill our happiness. so, instead of trying to please everyone, be yourself and live the way you want to live. This approach has to stop and don’t carry it in another year.
These are some things that you don’t need in your coming year, so it is better that you leave them behind in 2020.
