Read, repeat and revise the following positive thoughts to calm your mind every time you find yourself disoriented:

1. You Cannot Control Everything Around You.

   You are not in control of how others treat you or behave with you. It is your responsibility to treat them with kindness and gratitude but the way they react is not under your control. Let go feelings of hate and despair. Forgiveness is never out of fashion. Give yourself time. No matter how bad or hurt you feel, every person has at least one good virtue. Be empathetic and courteous. Good behavior may not always be rewarded but will always be remembered. Click a picture with them anyway! It’s New Years!

2. Anger is Temporary.

   Anger is a humanely emotion, embrace it but do not let it destroy your interpersonal relationships. Avoid making decisions in anger, they will never turn out to be the good ones. When in anger, give yourself time. Take space, sip tea! Express yourself but not in a way that you harm others. If done impulsively, apologise immediately and gracefully. Anger is momentary, do not dwell on it, it will lead to loss of appetite, peace and sleep. Control your anger, not the vice versa. Deactivating your social media accounts in anger is just futile! “I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become.” – Carl Jung

3. Join a Club or a Sport.

   Are you an avid reader or a sportsperson? Or you’re just lazy to do anything? Either ways, if you want to be noticed in your social life, you got to get out this year! Not just clubbing or hitting the gym but something more healthy and impactful. It is always a great experience to be a part of a sports club or a reading club. Meeting new people will always help you boost your confidence, have a better command over language and rediscover life with new perspectives. Maybe, being a part of a new religious group will restore and strengthen your faith in goodness and positivity. This will also keep you active and arid of any negative thoughts.

   All of us have big dreams and it’s a long way but taking baby steps will help you get closer and have a clearer visual of where are we heading. You need to prioritize your things the right way.

Mark your monthly goals separately and treat yourself by the end of the year.
