When you’re done, focus on the next thing that matters most, and so on.ĭon’t look at happiness as something that will come when you’re done with this goal, or when you’ve attained a certain accomplishment or certain amount of wealth or material goods. TINY NEW YEAR FRESH STARTS BEGINNINGS FREEFeel free to take breaks, but always return to your focus. Do it for as long as you can, until you’re done if possible. You can take a break and check your email or whatever after you’ve focused. Even if only for 15 or 20 minutes at first, but preferably for 30-60 minutes. You can come back to it when you take a break. In fact, if you can, shut off the Internet for awhile. TINY NEW YEAR FRESH STARTS BEGINNINGS ANDROIDTomorrow … we’ll decide on that tomorrow.Ĭlear away email and Facebook and Twitter and your favorite blogs and news websites and social forums, clear away the iPhone or Blackberry or Android or cell phone, clear away all the little nagging work and chores and errands that pull at your attention, clear away the clutter that surrounds you (sweep it off to the side to deal with later). What matters is today - that you’re going to work on this with all your heart, today. This might be something you work on all year, or it might just last a month, or it might last a week or a few days, or just today. But whatever your answer, have it clear in your mind at the beginning of the day. Often the answer is in creating something, making something new, helping other people, becoming a better person, working on a project that will be an accomplishment to be proud of. What matters most to you, to your life? What are you most passionate about, right now? What excites and invigorates you? What would give you the most fulfillment? Instead, decide: what do you want to do today? Let go of last year, and start anew.įorget about your goals for all of this year. Let go of your ideas about what your life has to be like, because that’s the way it’s evolved so far. Let go of attachments to what you’ve been doing for the past year, or years. Let everything from the past go (easier said than done, I know). We cannot find time for our loved ones because we have too many commitments. We cannot find time to get healthy and fit because we have all these other things to do. We cannot change careers because we’re used to what we’re doing and it’s too hard to change. Many times we are held back by the tangled web of previous failures, commitments, emotions, barriers. Not just by creating and sticking to resolutions ( here’s my guide for doing that), but by reinventing the way we live. That is a gift, my friends, and I suggest we make the most of this gift. It allows us to reinvigorate ourselves, to shed the baggage of the previous year and do anything. It’s wonderful, because this fresh start gives us a chance to reinvent our lives and ourselves. We’re several days into the New Year, and many of us are still basking in the glow of a fresh start.Įvery year, January brings renewed optimism for change, for a better life, for a better you. What we do today is what matters most.” ~ Buddha Post written by Leo Babauta. ![]()
