Hand pick a habit
Or a belief,
Which is straining
Your soul deep down,
Which is holding you back,
Which is gripping your guts
With a unknown fear,
Take a deep breath,
Challenge it and wipe it off,
Fill the empty space with
Hope and positivity,
Get ready to start the new year afresh!
Do something you love
after long time, smile in your
face, make it more fun!
Some are addicted to fame,
Some are addicted to hard work,
Some are addicted to love,
Some are addicted to recognition,
Some are addicted to arts,
Some are addicted to hobbies,
Some are addicted to job,
Even when it help to enhance our life
Can the addiction be bad?
Are you happy in this lockdown, doing something you have postponed for a long time? Like writing, reading, drawing, learning, cleaning the house or sorting out your life, building a healthy relationship with yourself and others. Are you bored and always keeps looking on the news for the update or calendar for magically the days to fly by? Are you getting irritated blaming people and government? If you are in the second category, now it’s time for you to think about yourself. Either you are scared of not doing the routine stuff and you are accustomed to doing new things. This extra time just scares you in the fear of feeling bored and sitting idle. If this scares you think of the time after your retirement. So better learn to practise from now. Empty your mind of any such feelings and think, if you have to rebuild your life what would like to do? Like attaining a new skill, growing a new hobby or simply doing self-grooming with love. Nurture a small plant or talk to your family, try to find what they are interested to do in their time. Distract yourself, do something valuable in this quarantine. Don’t let yourself regret again in future, thinking what if you have used that time in a better way.
Let’s do something different this year. Dig deep into your mind and find out one thing from the list to start with, it could be a hobby or sports activity or any random activity, which you didn’t try ever out of fear or you assumed you can’t do without trying.
Let’s challenge yourself to at least try it once this year to categorise it properly. There is a high chance that you might like it and add it to your favourite list. Who are all up for the challenge?
