In the process of getting myself adapted to the 'NEW NORMAL' after COVID-19, I would like to now direct myself into 'MY New Normal' starting this year, as follows:
2023: The sum of the numbers 2 + 0 + 2 + 3 = 7, which reminds me of the shape of a 'boomerang', the source of my inspiration.
When a boomerang is thrown, aimed at an object at a distance, it comes back to us, to the same spot. Sometimes it comes back as expected, and sometimes, our throw may result in the opposite outcome. But, FOR SURE IT COMES BACK. The art of learning about the 'Throw Angle' and 'Direction of Wind' is required for correct or safe throwing of the boomerang.
Just as it is very important to know the right way to throw a boomerang, I prefer to become more aware and mindful before I throw any strokes to myself or to the people around me.
This New Year, my resolution is to work more on my approach and attitude, keeping in mind the concept of boomerang throwing. So, before I go to bed every single day, I want to journal these two things:
- Make a note of all influential / outstanding positive and negative strokes - both thrown from my end and those received from others.
- On a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being low and 10 being high) - How aware I was of giving away, ONLY positive strokes.
I thank the Universe for letting me go through and explore 'MY New Normal' in 2023 in the form of resolutions.
