2016 had started pretty rough for me. A lot of things came up together and I was on the verge of a breakdown. That was when I decided that I had enough! I would not give in to negativity and would not let myself be governed by depression. Out with all that and in with a fresh new beginning!
I have decided to stop complaining and start making use of what I have to the max and here's 5 ways how I am going to make my 2016 better and more productive!
1) Get fit: Being women, especially married and mothers, we tend to just give and give tirelessly. While there is not harm in that, we end up being drained. With time I have come to a realisation that you cannot pour out of an empty cup -- so I have decided to get physically fitter and stronger to become a happier and more controlled me!
2)Join an NGO: Nowadays we have become very self obsessed. Our worries and stresses are top on the list. Joining such places and making a difference in someone's life will definitely make me more empathic and thankful.
3) Spend more on my kids: Not out of my pocket, but out of my time and patience. I am sure this way we will make an even stronger bond and a happier home!
4) Start a means of income: However small, a bit of self reliance goes a long way in terms of confidence and self esteem.
5)Learn at least 3 new tasks/skills: We tend to forget our ability to develop as individual identities in the cocoon of a married life. But why? It is never too late to learn anything!!
I must mention here that I do not have any such life experiences that are tragic or inspirational. I am just a common person who has her set of everyday struggles like most of you. This may not be recognizable enough, but we all have our own battles. Just hang in there. This is what life is about, There will be ups and downs but it's never too late to start afresh. So all the best my fellow readers -- sail your tides with flying colors!
I love 1,4 and 5 and may even have to do them myself!

ReplyDeleteI was very intrested in 2 and 4. I also would love to join a NGO. How do you go about doing that? Do you have any advice. Also, having a bit of your own income is so satisfying, this year i hope to accomplish that as well.
ReplyDeleteYour resolutions are all very doable mA. I hope to incorporate some of them myself iA. I hope your year is sailing a little more smoothly now:-)
ReplyDeleteI'm already on 1. And I'll try definitely 5 .. thanks a lot!
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I would try to do 4 out of 5 of those. I have been working on losing weight and getting fit for over a year now. After my daughter was born I ballooned and at my heaviest I weighed 315 lb. I am now 183 lb and I haven't felt healthier in years. I try to exercise daily. Something different each day, but something each day.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! I really would love to figure out a way to get more income. I think I need to just keep working hard on my goals and I will get there.
So will you, if you work hard, it does pay off!
I love this! I've been getting some crap because I've got the "2016 is gonna be my year!" mindset and I've been public about it. Everyone's like, "the numbers are just changing. hush." But no! It's gonna be my year because I'm going to MAKE IT my year!
ReplyDeleteThere are a couple there that I am working on, which are 1 & 4 . Fitness is a huge self-esteem booster. I agree that income is a huge self-esteem and confidence booster.
ReplyDeleteAll the best !!
These are great mashaa allah, I am with you on 1,4 and 5. Lets do this, ;)
