Happy New Year!

Happy 2024!

I know that in a few days, the “business” of daily life will be at the level of how we know it, so I hope to share a few nuggets that can help you. 

REFLECTION & GAINING CLARITY

Many people are reflecting on 2023 in the past and the coming days, and we’re seeing many Reels and posts on social media. While it's great to appreciate and be grateful for the beautiful moments in our lives, it's equally important to reflect on our personal growth, which is often kept private. When you come across these posts on social media, don't compare yourself to others. You never know the challenges and hardships they may have faced.

So when you take the time to reflect, I encourage you to do two things - appreciate the beauty of 2023 and also write down what you have learned. Take note of what hurt you or what you didn't enjoy, so you can have a clearer understanding of what truly brings you happiness or what makes you a better person. 

Then reflect on why the beautiful moments were special and how they made you feel. This will help you identify what feelings truly make you happy. Similarly, from the difficult moments, think about what you have learned and what your role was in this. And this realization of your own responsibility will help you to improve in 2024. 

This process will truly bring you more clarity, and it's important to do this before setting any new life goals for the upcoming year. Remember, there's no rush to do this in the first week of January! Take your time, use the entire month to be still, and gain a clearer perspective. Really allow yourself the space for reflection.

WELL-BEING

When it comes to your well-being, both physically and mentally, it's important to explore various methods of improvement and self-care. Take the time to discover what works best for you, as it may require some experimentation. Good health is the foundation for achieving anything you desire in life. Whether incorporating more plant-based foods into your diet, staying hydrated, or practicing mindful eating, every small step adds up over time. Strive to be "1% better" each day, and you'll be amazed at the results you can achieve in just a few months. Remember, it's an exciting journey!

As for mental well-being, it's important to prioritize meditation. As a meditation teacher, I already practice regularly, but sometimes I skip it - or I catch myself during the day that I’m not mindful and all over the place. And during these times, there’s no need to judge ourselves. Just take note and lovingly choose to refocus the attention on the present, on the breath, the body awareness, or what you do at hand.

And a daily meditation practice will help with that. It will create the stillness and the clarity and after all, a clear mind is a healthy and happy mind.
