As humans we are quite a determined lot, we hold grudges, are adamant about our opinions, box everything to understand better, and love to believe we are very important.
Every New Year starts on a note of optimism with a resolution, which often fizzles into oblivion before the month is done. In the past decade, time seems to have escaped through our fingers like the beach sand. So, to keep track of this beautiful roller-coaster life I decided to include something that is fun, serious, and doable.
Rest, a key to maintain equanimity amongst the myriad thoughts, ideas, and emotions especially at the end of a day. Recall, a requisite to improve oneself and be thankful for the blessings endowed. Reconnect with oneself, a necessity to remain grounded and true to oneself.
Rest, Recall and Reconnect can in turn be fun or serious and they can be done at anytime, anywhere and for any length of time depending on the day’s toll. While I do bits of these today, a conscious decision, a written promise and a resolute mind can definitely help me inculcate this into my life.
How about ringing in the New Year with RRR along with me?
