Since the time we stepped in 2012,
I have been thinking of writing something that I really would like to follow
this year. Something that can relate to every girl out there. Finally I am done
and here is my first post of this new year. New year comes with a fresh air in
the atmosphere; a chance for all of us to move on with a fresh mind and a
positive attitude. Aptly, a new year is every one's birthday. So girls, it’s
time to leave your past behind and believe in the fact that the best is yet to
come in your way. Here is a list of 10 things which every girl must consider
doing in 2012. Am sure applying any of the below points will only turn your
life in a better way.
Fall
in love OR fall in hate
Get
inspired OR be depressed
Ace
a test OR flunk a class
Make
babies OR make art
Speak
the truth OR say Lie
Dance
on tables OR sit in a corner
Life
is divine chaos. Embrace it
Forgive
yourself. Breathe.
And
enjoy the ride….
LIVE
LOVE LAUGH….
And
earth will become a better place to live in.
1.
Be fit & healthy
Its sale time everywhere and
while shopping for apparels, we suddenly realize our original size doesn’t fit
us anymore, but still we tend to buy that gorgeous dress promising ourselves to
fit into it a few months down the line. That's like a no new feeling. Being
lean and good looking is something we girls are eternally putting our efforts
into year after year. But this This year, let’s take it other way round, be fit
and healthy and its automatically going to show in our sizes. Go on a healthy
and doable diet. That's where all the difference lies. Turn your intangible
dreams about being thin and sexy into something more attainable and practical
like knowing what size actually suits you and what you're comfortable in. Not
every one looks good in that skinny image that fashion models display. This
year, work on a makeover for yourself, something that looks tailor made just
for you. After all looking comfortable in your skin is more striking than
looking like a diva right off the ramp.
2.
Follow your passion/ hobby
I know, this again is
something we tend to think about every January and then it keeps fading through
feb, march and april…. Be firm this time. Following a passion doesn’t mean
following your friend’s passion. Be it learning a new activity, a new dance style,
a new language, a knew skill or travelling to see new places. It can even be
something like leaving your monotonous job to do something that you feel happy
in or feel being you. Its important to be proud of yourself in what you do than
doing something to show off the world. Your content smile and attitude is
enough for the world to understand the happiness in your life.
3.
Be yourself
This world is full of people
who fake something or the other, be it the attitude, the style, the
expressions, the accent, money or skills. But the best people you come across
by are the ones who are honest and genuine, who are happy in what they are. No
one fills your shoes better than you yourself. No matter what colour of your
skin, however the body shape or features, you are beautiful like none other.
Our attitude is what makes us beautiful. This year, make a resolution to be
YOU. Be the best for yourself and then you can carry your ownself with whatever
you achieve this year, proudly and graciously. Believe You're the best,
darling!
4.
Value the Art of Giving
How do you feel when a small
less privileged girl pleads you to buy a rose from her and compliments you for
every actress she recalls of? We generally tend to smile at her sense and keep
walking. And we justify our walking away with different reasons. We have to
accept and thank God for what we are today and what we have now. We truly are
the privileged ones. This year lets not forget and overlook those who are not
born with the facilities we had. Lets keep aside a small percentage share of
our income to help the ones in need. Trust me, you will really feel your heart
enlarging in your body and a smile of content on your face. A feeling
uncomparable!
5.
Set Goals
We do set out goals for
ourselves, but do we do anything more beyond our normal to achieve them? Are
your goals aligned with your life's current flow? Don't take your goals for
granted this year! Evaluate yourself to see what skills do you require to attain
those goals? Are your goals still practical and doable? Can you see them as
something tangible in near future? Ask yourself these basic questions when
working on them. Our Goals, objectives and
aims all play a vital role in building our self confidence. Let’s not
fly high, lets aim high! See it as a thought process that continuously mirrors
all your efforts and see yourself as someone better than last year.
6.
Sort out Priorities
When we define goals,
priorities go hand in hand. Don’t get obsessed with achieving your goal if it
doesn’t fall somewhere around your priorities. It’s not only about quenching
your thirst for inner satisfaction. So, to give justice to your life, once you
have some goals set, sort them out according to how and why they add something
to your life. This step is a must do for every girl who wants to live a healthy
and constructive life. Don’t forget that with passing times, priorities might
as well change. Keep revising your priorities frequently and see if they are
still aligned with how your life is going on.
7.
Read more and be aware
Here am not talking about
reading general knowledge books. It about reading anything that is worth your
time and attention. Start from going beyond your supplements in the newspaper
(believe me, the main paper now a days carry some really interesting articles
as well, guess journalism has grown) Whats more? Make it a point to start
reading books, any genre that interests you – from love stories, to chick lits
to intense reads to thrillers. Reading never harms, it only adds.
8.
Soul searching
Today I see everone around
so so super buzy with the grinding life that constitutes of work, work and more
work. This year, let’s set aside some time exclusively for us. Just when we
realise everything is going a little too fast, see that as a signal from your
mind that tells you, you're getting short of a leisurely "Me" time.
Do some soul searching and indulge in something you have fun in. Go out with
your girl pals, do some pampering to yourself, cook or simply tuck in bed with
a book in hand. Have we forgotten how good that feels?
9.
Know about a female role model’s life story
Lets go beyond simply
copying somebody’s quotes in messages or mails. There are so many wonderful
inspiring women out there who made our lives as easy as it is today. We have
taken many things for granted that we considered unimaginable like the fact of
‘Women being equal to men!’ There was a time ages back when women themselves
laughed at this thought. Today, women have surely come a long way. Pick up a
personality that appeals to you and read her life story. A read-through a fun
and interesting biography is also a treasure trove of life lessons.
10.
Be the author of your own story
Imagine at the end of this
wondrous life, when you’ll look back to summarize your life and see what you
have achieved or lost, choices you made, decisions you followed, they will show
you the person you have grown into. Lets not be regretfull stage later. Have a
plan for yourself because if you let yourself be a part of someone else’s
story, chances are they might not have any plan for you. So make sure no one
else but you are the author of your story. Roll
the joystick of your with your fingers, so whatever happens you know it
was your choice and that should comfort you. No matter if the decisions require
you to be bold, step up and be brave and realize it’s not yet the end.
So make your 2012 awesome by doing something that is simply
incredible in your sense, do crazy stuff and don't forget to have
fun. Happy 2012!
