New Year comes and goes. It ushers a fresh chapter of hopes and promises. The Year 2020 has come to an end and 2021 is in front of us. When a year comes to an end, everyone looks forward to a New Year. 2020 was a year of many challenges due to Covid-19 pandemic. Let us leave behind the negative aspects and look forward to brighter side of life in 2021. Many expect exciting things to happen in the coming New Year. 2021 will be a very appealing year for us. On the New Year day, we make resolutions and promises for a better future. Some take resolution to stop bad habits and reform life. Some wait for good luck and prosperity. In many cases, promises of the past 365 days remain unfulfilled and some habits even get worse.
Everything flows in the direction of our thoughts. So, is the situation of a year determined by our thinking and action. We can make it peaceful, fruitful and joyful or even memorable. At the same time, it can also become a disaster. Therefore, we need to introspect about the resolutions we make and then put effort to achieve them or else they will be like the old unfulfilled promises of the old year.
Following is a 21 days mantra that has the potential to make our life prosperous if we sincerely follow it on this New Year. Many experts believe that it takes 21 days to break a habit or change a pattern on our lives, and to create positive habits that support us in living in alignment with our true intentions. Out of habit, we tell ourselves “I’m scared”, “I’m tired” or “I’m not good enough”. We don’t realise that our words become the truth of our lives. What we speak, we embody.
The first step to real change is changing the way you compare yourself to your problems; do you allow suffering to consume you? Or do you acknowledge that in fact, you’re able to overcome any adversity? “I am” is the single most important phrase you will ever speak. That’s because what follows these two words dictates who you are. It becomes even more profound when you re-define yourself repeatedly throughout the day by saying, “I’m confident”, “I’m beautiful” and “I can make it”. These are just a few of the endless declarations you can make to replenish your wellbeing. Reciting such mantra with purpose and conviction can shift your perception entirely. You will see that with time, these self-statements will come effortlessly and you will become a better person.
Changes are inevitable. Some of them are good, while others are not. We need to prepare ourselves to face these changes. Let us welcome 2021 and bring some positive changes to ourselves by putting the above mantras into our life. Like this, we can be an agent of change for the future generation.
We plan to achieve our goal every year. But many a times, we fail to achieve our plan. Let 2021 be a year of achievement and a year of positive change. Let our dreams come true. As an old saying goes, “all that begins well ends well”. Therefore, let us ensure to make the beginning good so that it ends with a happy note.
Wish you all a very Happy and Prosperous New Year.
