First, New Year Greetings to all my friends and families around the
world! May the New Year bring health, wealth and happiness to you and your
loved ones!!
I thought of sharing some thoughts on how to make 2015 a fantastic year
in your personal, professional and spiritual life. While this may seems to be a
difficult task with so much in your plate, all you need is a bit of planning
and focus to achieve those goals.
On the work front, work smart with plans and priorities which will yield
better results than shear hard work. Surround yourself with smart, motivated
and dynamic people who could compliment you in your efforts. Stay away from emotional vampires and learned
to say ‘no’ when required. Developing healthy habits and balancing is key; make
sure you find sufficient time for sleep, exercise, eating well and taking care
of yourself. Plan your leisure time and vacations in advance similar to
business schedules which you plan well in advance. Don’t burn the candle on
both ends, say ‘no’ to unplanned activities, if possible.
On the health front, have quantifiable and measurable goals. For example,
commit to lose certain amount of weight within a specific period, keep your
vitals within the specific margins, or participate in specific sporting events
and achieve the desired performance levels within the specified timeframe. As you know, the motivation does not last
long unless you practice daily. Reward good behavior and punish bad choices.
Compete with yourself, don’t compare with someone else, particularly when it
comes to fitness goals.
On the spiritual front, try to connect with the higher being. Prayer
and meditation would bring joy and happiness and will reduce stress
significantly. We are here in this earth for a purpose. Know your calling.
Good luck!
