DIRECTION OF LIFE - BLANK AND INSPIRED- #168

IMG_7490.jpeg

Starting this year on a blank note is not what I planned, I have never started a new year as blank as this, no excitement, no resolutions made, nothing as compared to how I felt in previous new years.

Maybe it’s the fact that I’m getting closer to the 30th floor, or I know this year is going to be one filled with more expenses, or the fact that there are so many things I want to achieve and there’s the fear of if I tag them, it might be difficult to attain, or the fact that my mind in general is all over the place, hence, making it more difficult to term my feelings.

I do not know what exactly it is, but I know I’ve never felt this way on a new year. Just some days ago, I had a discussion with a friend and it turns out she felt this way too. My curiosity got pricked, what could be the reason for this new feeling.

Is it fear, we all have something we are scared of and in my case, there are so many.
Is it aging, I know I had this bothering me at some point but I overcame it or did I just think I did?
Is it stress, I’ve become used to being stressed out and then I try as much as possible to rest whenever I get the chance.
Is it my responsibility as the first born and first daughter of my family, but this is not news to both my conscious and subconscious self.

But then again, as I write this post, I make up my mind to let myself breath, to let myself live, to take it one day at a time, to not be overwhelmed with life, to get ready for whatever this year might throw at me, to smile and to love, to live and to pray, to believe and to achieve.

I still do not have a defined resolution for the year, but I believe that as the day goes by, and the seconds turn into minutes and then into hours and into days and into months, a clearer path will be created, and a wonderful year will be had.

I’m sure I’m not the only one with this uncertainty, however, let’s make a deal, to enjoy every single day and make memories, and feel happy, day by day by day.

Cheers to one year I hope to be a very beautiful and fulfilled year.

This sounds like a great deal, in the end, what matters is that we truly live and not just exist, that we share and create good memories with those that matter to us. We create our own happiness no matter what life brings our way.

I wish you a fulfilling year ahead, cheers, and enjoy your day.

The anxiety is always there when we get to a certain age and we feel we need to have achieved some things,one thing I have learnt so far is not to put too much pressure, work at your own pace, everything will be balanced later, who says 30s is the ultimate age for achievements,we can still achieve in our 40s and 50s. When there is life, there's hope

Exactly, that's what my motto for the year is, to work at my own pace. Thank you for reading

Sometimes it is best to just be and not get overwhelmed by trying to get something planned. Starting from a blank slate sounds exciting and I wish you the best in your adventure this year and beyond.

When your mind is not in the game, relax and wait, not for too long somethings need to be tackled and done. Hope the year works out better unplanned!

We all live with anxiety of one form or another and I've had many of my years but slowly, one by one, dealt away with those I can handle. If I can eliminate one then it is a good day, one less to worry over. IT takes time, effort, sometimes courage and often not easy. Your generation has it tougher now a days so be sure to network with reliable solid friends, we need not face an uncertain future alone.

It is indeed tougher for this generation, but I'm sure I'll scale through. Thank you for stopping by.
