I don’t know who put 2023 in fast-forward mode, but it’s already January 9, 2024, and almost the end of my graduation year. I mean, yeah! I’ll be graduating in 3 months. Completely blank, underconfident, stressed, scared, and whatnot.
Has it ever happened that you’re an adult and you know it’s time for you to take responsibility, but you don’t even have a clear vision of what to do in life? That’s what my situation is right now.
All these years, I was completely chill, sitting straight in my comfort zone, and I didn’t know what was going on in life or what was going to happen next. I was so chill that I wasted plenty of my time and energy doing nothing. My whole school and college life were spent thinking, or, I must say, overthinking, about things or topics that made zero sense to me instead of focusing on things that mattered, and to be honest, it’s still going like that.
I cannot even explain to what extent I’m distracted. 24/7 into my phone scrolling or doing some other shit, overthinking unnecessarily, being in delusion or de lulu, and how badly these things are affecting me or already have. If I elaborate on it more, I’ve got a bad sleep schedule, short-term memory loss, fatigue or feeling lethargic the whole day, problems focusing, etc.
But! But! But! I’m going to graduate soon, and I’ve got no other option but to improve my daily habits and, of course, myself. I’ve decided to make 2024 my year—my glow-up year—full of self-love, peace, wealth, and prosperity.
I know words don’t matter; action does. So, I started by listing my top priorities for the month and focusing on changing habits that are pulling me backwards.
I started by deleting Instagram from my phone and using it on my PC so that my usage time would decrease (I didn’t deactivate or uninstall it completely because that increases the urge to use the app more, and eventually, I’ll start feeling more anxious after a point of time). Waking up early is still the toughest part for me.
I’ve read multiple articles and watched multiple self-help videos on YouTube (Adete Dahiya’s channel is one of my favourites), but to be honest, nothing worked for me. I know it does work for many, but not for me, unfortunately, as I already mentioned how distracted I am. No doubt, it does give some good ideas, but I decided to tackle my problems myself.
I’m not sure if my plans or decisions are going to work or not, but if they do, I hope 2024 will be kind to me, and the universe will help me stay happy and achieve my goals and yours too.
