As the dawn of a new season bathes the horizon in hues of possibility and promise, I stand poised in the basement of transformation, ready to embrace new habits that will shape the trajectory of my journey towards a better version of me. With courage as my compass and determination as my guide, I embark on this journey of growth, embracing each new habit below as a stepping stone towards becoming the best version of myself.
Networking: This has been a daunting prospect fraught with uncertainty and apprehension but it now becomes the cornerstone of my journey towards personal and professional growth. Navigating life in isolation is not profitable. We need to connect with other humans because therein are opportunities for collaboration, learning, and enrichment. With an open heart and a mind seeking for knowledge, I embrace the power of networking as a catalyst for expansion and growth. As it is believed indeed, sometimes your network is your net worth.
Having a rate card: This is a tangible expression of my worth and value in the marketplace of life. I shall not shy away from asserting my worth nor undersell my talents and contributions. With clarity and conviction, I start to set boundaries and expectations, ensuring that I am justly compensated for the great value I bring to the table.
Sleep: This is now a non-negotiable priority in my quest for health and wellness simply because it comes with. I stop to sacrifice my well-being on the altar of productivity and burn the candle at both ends in pursuit of ephemeral goals. With reverence and respect for my body’s natural rhythms, I honor the sanctity of sleep and start retiring to bed by 9:00 pm immediately to replenish my spirit and rejuvenate my soul.
Saying no without feeling guilty: This has become a liberating act of self-empowerment and self-care. I refuse to please people but rather set boundaries and prioritize my needs with unwavering resolve and an unapologetic self-assurance. I also believe that in saying no to the unnecessary, I make space for the essential in my life.
Yoga: This is a sacred union of mind, body, and spirit, emerges as my chosen path for strength training and self-care. With each mindful breath and deliberate movement, I cultivate strength, flexibility, and balance, nurturing a harmonious relationship with my body and embracing the transformative power of yoga as a gateway to holistic well-being. I nowadays do yoga twice a week each for 25 minutes and woah, this has brought calmness to my body.
Living confidently: As a person who was once shrouded in self-doubt and insecurity, I now embrace confidence as my birthright and legacy. I no longer shrink myself to fit into narrow molds nor dim my light to placate the insecurities of others. I courageously embrace my inherent worth and celebrate the unique essence that sets me apart. I boldly and audaciously embody the truth that confidence is not a destination but a journey—a journey towards self-acceptance, self-expression, and self-love.
Letting go: This is the ultimate act of surrender and release which now is a daily practice of liberation and renewal. It is refusing to cling to the shackles of the past or the illusions of control. In the act of letting go, there is freedom and transformation. With open arms and an open heart, I release the burdens that have weighed heavy on my soul—the regrets, the resentments, the expectations—and embrace the boundless possibilities of the present moment. As I breathe out each day, I surrender to the flow of life, believing that as I let go, I make space for miracles to unfold and blessings to abound.
Embrace evolution!
As I embark on this journey of self-discovery and self-mastery, I do so with a heart full of gratitude, a spirit ablaze with hope, and a soul steadfast in its commitment to growth and evolution. This is my manifesto, my declaration to the universe, and my invitation to embrace the infinite possibilities that await in the new season that lies ahead.
