Facing the end of the year with optimism!
The end of the year arrives and there comes that list of traditional commitments: parties with family, meetings with friends, company parties, vacation trips and much more. There's so much that we don't even have time to do everything we want or even need to do.
End-of-year commitments are not always the most desired, many people actually avoid them, citing illness, other commitments and only participating in what is really obligatory. I'm not going to judge anyone, after all I also have my list of end-of-year commitments.
Do you have a list of excuses for unwanted parties? Whenever someone tells me that they can't go to a place that I also think is "robbed", I think about whether that justification is true. And sometimes people even forget that they have social media and end up posting what they are doing there, after saying they are sick or absent for some other reason. I'm a university professor, so you can imagine what students tell me on days of heavy rain, in Friday night classes or on exam days and assignments.
After a few years without having to make lame excuses, after all the pandemic brought us the need to stay at home or at most with some family members, the party gates opened and everything is free! End of the year party for all groups of friends, the company, both sides of the family, the condominium, the gym, crazy, there is a schedule and time to participate in everything. But let's remember that even with this amount of parties, it's necessary to maintain the rules and posture, right guys! I have seen several videos on social media that make me want to cry watching the behavior of people released after a difficult and tiring year. Okay, it's time to relax and unwind, but not completely unwind like you would at home!
That famous list (most of the time mental) of attitudes for next year doesn't need to wait until January arrives. Putting positive and behavioral attitudes into practice is always important, not just for the first month's goals. And we know that these goals become diluted and disappear over the months because they do not become habits, but obligations. It is common for us to criticize people who are very regimented and organized in life, but we should learn from them to maintain consistency. Instead of repressing, understand the positive side of organizing yourself with life in general, both at work and in your personal life, and steal some tips.
Currently, after some difficult years, where we lost loved ones, we need to rethink where to invest our most precious asset: time. Instead of being at all the celebrations, it is impossible to make the most of them all, choose the most special and important ones and be there with your heart. Without using your cell phone during conversations, paying attention to your elders, such as parents, uncles, in-laws. Play and talk with children, eat calmly, look people in the eye when they talk.
Maybe it's sentimentality about the arrival of the end of the year, but deep down it's a truth that we always have to take into account: these are not more days in our lives, they are fewer days to accomplish everything we want. In short: don't be discouraged by facing the end of year festivities once again, but rather rejoice in yet another opportunity to experience the end of the year!
