Here we are into Day 5 of the New Year, and due to the new Covid variant running amok, it’s starting to feel like Groundhog Day: The 2022 Edition.
We are all tired of this pandemic, but the pandemic does not seem to be tired of us.
Silly me, I thought if we washed our hands, wore our masks, avoided large gatherings, and got (triple) vaccinated, we would be back in control.
But once again, I am reminded that we CANNOT control everything.
So, I ask myself the question: What CAN we control?
We can only control our own habits and mindset.
My daily habits include:
Drinking plenty of water.
Making healthy food choices.
Getting plenty of rest.
Meditating.
Exercising.
I didn’t always practice these daily habits. They were actually cultivated from past New Year’s GOALS.
(Notice that I didn’t say RESOLUTIONS.)
I don’t believe in New Year’s RESOLUTIONS because I don’t think they stick.
You might be wondering what’s the difference?
In today’s episode of The OverThinker’s Guide to Joy, I talk all about Resolutions vs. Goals, and how to make YOUR goals a habit. You can listen to the episode by clicking here or listening on Apple, Spotify, or YouTube.
Happy New Year!
