2021 helped us master the skills of resilience, perseverance and sustainability. Trying to assemble these skills might have been the need of the hour considering the new norm of the pandemic, but it has definitely contributed to the art of survival.
When you look back, you would remember those that greatly contributed to your well-being. Let us also take a look at the lessons that you might have skipped or left unnoticed.
Lessons by Carma
#1 Overreaction= rejection of your initial gut feeling
Consider an incident in which you might have overreacted. Now, think deeply, was it really necessary? We often tend to ignore the first gut feeling that comes to our minds. Self-esteem issues, need for assurance, wanting to be liked, all these might account to a few reasons that make you deny your instant gut feeling. When you look back, you will realize that most of the time your gut feeling was always right.
Your overreaction was a product of you conflicting your gut, trying to prove a contradicting point or trying to sugar-coat the obvious. This leads to extreme dissatisfaction and may affect your overall well-being. We often tend to fight our gut to paint a positive picture instead of seeing the bigger picture.
You knew things would turn out a certain way, yet…
Well, you should take pride in the fact that you tried. Time will show you how. When you look back, always keep in mind the ones who took out the time to understand you and those who called you crazy.
#2 No guidance = hidden self-guide
When people refuse to help you, guide you or direct you, take it positively. This extreme disregard for your requests to help you out might have nothing to do with you. Never take it personally. There are a billion ways to receive help. You just need to figure out the best way. Many people refrain from helping you because they don’t want to equip you with the right techniques. They fear that you would do much better because you CAN.
Always keep an eye for those who did help you or spent a minute of their busy schedule on you. They’re the ones who are secure in their life and wish the best for you till you discover your hidden self-guide.
#3 Let time entertain you but don’t be quick to judge
Never be quick to judge someone. Let people show you who they truly are, but at their expense. You shouldn’t waste a second of your precious time to figure out anyone else’s actions. Let their actions fumble so you’re sure about your opinions. Most of the time, when you refrain from judgement, you are freer. Don’t pay much heed to negativity and also give them the benefit of the doubt. You never know what value a person could add to your life even if they were mistakes that they made.
As Carma says, “people are not all that cruel and complicated. It’s just a matter of circumstances.”
#4 Never hold on to betrayers
What would you even expect if you did? If you take betrayal seriously, that’s great. It implies that you have standards and there are specific reasons why you choose people or situations to invest yourself into. Those who betray you don’t have the power to face you. They cannot handle the enormity of you.
You’re aiming higher because that’s where you belong, don’t stoop down for those who can’t see your worth. Betrayal is unforgivable and an eye-opener at the same time. Take the latter in stride and move towards loyalty. Oh! It exists.
#5 Start playing mind games with yourself
Trick your mind into believing what you want to manifest. Your mind is the most important part of your body. It’s the director of your life. Feed it with health and positivity, that’s how you will eventually develop a powerful persona and a true sense of self.
To conclude, every New Year brings a collective new beginning. True beginnings start from within, each and every day. Make the most of the things that happen in your life. If you’re able to positively believe that a rejection is a redirection, you’re a winner!
Write your own story. Do your thing.
