The entrance of the Chinese New Year
Saturday 10 February began the Chinese New Year, this year represented by the figure of the dragon. A party that arrives 41 days after saying goodbye to 2023 and starting a new year full of illusions and optimism. Precisely this change of year offers a moment of reflection and evaluation in which you can turn your head to see what is left behind at the same time as you fix your eyes on the future. An ideal situation that often leads to the famous New Year’s resolutions.
The importance of New Year’s resolutions
New Year’s resolutions are a way to set goals and make personal changes. According to the psychologist Manju Garcia Teixidor of the Illa de Salut Figueres, it is very good to set these goals because they allow us to know what we want to change and what we don’t. However, it is important to define them properly and avoid setting unattainable goals. It is necessary to set goals that can be assumed and that are within our possibilities.
How to set New Year’s resolutions
To properly define New Year’s resolutions, you need to think about whether we really want to make these changes and whether they respond to a real need. It is important to have your own judgment and not be influenced by social expectations. You need to set realistic and concrete goals, and divide the big goals into smaller parts so that you can achieve them gradually. It is also advisable to seek external help if necessary to achieve the objectives.
The importance of perseverance
It is important to remember that changes are not immediate and that we may not achieve the desired results in the short term. However, if we continue to work on the process, in the long run we will achieve our goals. We must be patient and not be discouraged in the face of difficulties.
conclusion
New Year’s resolutions are an opportunity for reflection and self-evaluation. Setting realistic and concrete goals, dividing big goals into smaller parts and being persistent are keys to achieving goals. Thus, the entrance of the Chinese New Year invites us to reflect on the changes we want to make and to work to achieve them.
