A new year always comes with new zeal and new ideas on how to do things so inevitably a list is made resolving to do everything on it.
So, about that resolution to do list
Things Will Not Go as Listed
Spoiler alert, things will not happen as listed. Problems are always going to come and go and there will be more fails than wins, so that list will be shuffled. Also, do remember that the act of making a list does not guarantee success. Some things will not happen as planned and that is ok. Keep in mind, you can change some things but, you cannot change everything.
One way to help you succeed is to pick the right. Concentrate on what you really want to happen in your life. Pick that thing or those few things and make them happen. However, if things take longer or do not pan out as you planned, this too does not matter. You are already doing something about it and this is enough for now.
Look After Yourself
You do not have to defer your happiness now because something on the to-do list is still pending. That bigger car, bigger house, bigger office and that bigger bank balance will not happen overnight. Let some things pend but, your happiness should not pend because of the said list.
Address the parts of your life people do not see, the stress, fatigue, anger, disappointment, illness, anxiety and those heartbreaking moments that take a toll. Look after yourself.
Eat well, walk around for 10 minutes after eating, drink water and take a nap when and if you need to. Forgot about that list and what has not been ticked off. Go off and have some fun with your friends and family.
