We ought to always reflect on the past and plan for the future. December and January is good time to sit down in a quiet place, clear your mind and reset your goal. Do you want 2010 to be a better year? There are a few things you can do which I guarantee will make some positive changes to your life in 2010. This list is not the usualy set your goal and work hard type of thing. Lets check it out.
1. Relive your childhood
Talk to your parents about your childhood. What were you like as a child? What did you like? Look back at some of the childhood photos or videos. We all have big dreams when we were young. Somehow that dream disappeared when we grew up and faced the real world. For most people their childhood dreams are bigger than their current dreams. So go back in time and find out who you are and what you really want!
2. Look back at your achievements
Dig out all the trophies you have won in school. Look at all the prizes, certificates and awards you have ever won. Learn to be proud of yourself. Create a sense of achievement and build your confidence.
3. Clean your house
Your mind is only going to be as good as your environment. You should spend one weekend cleaning your house, digging out all those junks in your store room and loft and get rib of them. Pay more attention to your work space.
4. Tell your wife or girlfriend you love her (do as frequent as you like)
If you are not currently doing that, try it and you will see the profound effect. You have to trust me on this.
5. Make regular donation to charity
You don’t have to be rich to do this. Every cent or penny counts when it comes to charity. If you really don’t have money, start a project and raise fund for it. You do the work and others pay for it.
6. Plan your favourite holiday for the end of the year
You can even book it now and pay for it so that you have something to look forward to. When you can see the light at the end of the tunnel, you will feel better if something bad happen to you. Don’t forget to buy travel insurance thought, just in case.
7. Buy a big water bottle
Dehydration is one of the main causes of tiredness and lose of concentration. People these days don’t drink enough water. Too much tea or coffee can cause irritation and palpitation. So you should try to drink more water and have a big bottle of water with you all the time.
8. Think about other people first
Stop being self centered and always think about other people first. Try to help, serve and contribute to others before you think about your own benefit. You will be surprised to learn that the more you give, the more you get.
9. Be yourself
Stop pretending to be someone else. You are unique and you should be proud of yourself. You can do better than anyone else if you want to.
