"Dos" and "Don'ts" for this year

Let the things go which are not in your control. Let it go completely. Don’t blame yourself for what is out of your control. You cannot control everything; tolerate the fact. Don’t express that you will tomorrow, do it today. Don’t torment over the past. Learn from your errors; evolve, and move ahead.

You have the liberty to share your emotions. Don’t suppose regretful about your feelings. Cry when you want to cry. Do cry in sadness or depression. Similarly, laugh periodically. Take proper diet. Rest properly. Work hard and try to give your best. Don’t make you exhausted, and take breaks. Your body needs time to recharge give it its.

Observe the world around. Put close attention to everything. Listen to everything. Not only to words. Not only to buddies and family. Hear the world. Give your mind an opportunity to drown in the depth of the ocean of curiosity and wonder. Admire the simplest things; the things that humble you.

Care for everyone around you. All beings need love.

The ones who need it most are the ones who express it least.

Don’t make a person down for being unpleasant or self-centered by taking your kindness and love off. It's what they need. It doesn't show you as an uncivilized person but as a person with more maturity and wisdom. As you know, a person’s ability to give good back is an ethical gesture.

All of us have a story, and nobody knows the backstory of your story. Own your story. Do your judgment before you allow others to give their conclusion. Takeover because it's your life, not anyone’s. Understand the logic behind your grief and pain. Figure out why something happened or continued to happen. That awareness helps you to rule yourself.

Learn the importance of your precious self. Your self-respect is the most important specialty that you have. Don’t say yes to someone by saying no to yourself. Don’t feel embarrassed for creating boundaries to defend your worth. Don’t bluff yourself to satisfy someone. Never do this. Compromise and undertaking yourself are two different things. If someone becomes unhappy about your habit of setting a limit and criticizes you for that, it doesn't mean that you did something wrong. Respect your privacy, and don’t let anyone invade it.

You may have hurt many times. Bearing hardships makes you stronger and more powerful. No evolution happens without effort. If you haven’t been through something that shattered your heart yet, may be you will bear something heart breaking in coming future. Don’t fear the pain of after loss, so take risks. The earlier you face it, the more powerful you become at the right time. As you heard that a forest grows better after a wildfire sweeps through it because the nutrients come back to the soil from the dead matter.

People dissatisfy you many times but regardless of the number of times you have been let down, continue to donate. Giving doesn't link with things. You may give your love, attention, time, and trust to the people who love you. It is better for your self-growth. Because it stops you from being self-absorbed and egoistic. The main point here is that you can't pressurize yourself to lose your character just because you have been let down. Try to become a better version of yourself as compared to yesterday. Live for yourself, not for anyone else.

Be reliable to yourself. Don’t try to be different from everyone else, but carry your real personality. You are different from others at some things, and that's alright. You are similar to others at some things, and that’s alright too. It is the combination of everything that makes you unique.

Multi-tasking can lead to problems with memory; it reduces the brain’s grey matter. It increases stress, depression, and anxiety. Doing various chores at a time affects productivity and efficiency badly. Multi-tasking is like poison for your overall mental health. Stop doing multi-tasking. Concentrate on a single project at a time.

Everyone can be kind and being kind expenses you nothing. Do incidental acts of kindness. Bring joy into people’s lives by making them smile with something you're good at. Believe me, it's better to be kind and caring than to be a bully, so encourage compassion. Random acts of affection and generosity make the world a better place to live.

Let’s spread smiles and positivity.
