New Year, New Me

As the years start people always say “New year, new me”. As a society, we built the expectation that the start of a year is to reflect and analyze what has happened throughout the year and what should we change. There is nothing wrong with that, but it seems that people make unrealistic goals that are hardly achievable. People look into this moment for certainty and for change, but why until this moment? Why can’t people change in the middle of the year?

2020 was a difficult year for all of us, but we had the opportunity to bond with our families and appreciate what we have. It was a challenging experience, but many can say they overcame it. It took adaptation, but now we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. We are now looking forward to a new year full of changes and tons of happiness.

As the new year is the best way for people to get motivation, then there are some things to take into account. Setting goals might seem boring, but it is necessary. The sensation of accomplishment is necessary for all human beings, and achieving a goal is one of the most gratifying. But most people set goals that are hardly believable and that is why it is important to keep the goals real. It is important that you challenge yourself for achieving a goal, but it is also important that it is achievable. People might get frustrated as they don’t achieve their goals, but it is important to analyze if the goal is achievable.

2021 is a year full of changes and challenges, but it is in our hands to expect the best. We are the ones in charge of making the best moments from the hard situations, so enjoy 2021 and live the best.

I chose this topic as I believe that I started 2021 the best way. I am happy for what I have achieved and how it has turned out to the moment. Many people are struggling with keeping up with 2021, so I thought it would be best to talk about it. Goals are also something really important, I was talking with my friend about my new year’s resolution, and I did not have anything in mind. Then, I reconsidered and analyzed the importance of goals for starting the year, but also the importance of goals throughout the year.
