“No, this is not the beginning of a new chapter in my life; this is the beginning of a new book! That first book is already closed, ended, and tossed into the seas; this new book is newly opened, has just begun! Look, it is the first page! And it is a beautiful one!” —C. JoyBell C.

Very happy new year!

Last night lifting a glass wine during the countdown, me and my friend and I decided to have a joined account of New years resolutions. The plan seemed great at the time.

This morning, I thought about it and realised that every year I not only don't achieve my goals but sometimes I don't even start.

My mind has been busy today because I believe I can concure the discomfort of change I want to achieve. I know that change is hard, and I fail as soon as discomfort hits me physically or emotionally. I want to feel better, look better, be healthier, learn something new...

MOTIVATION VS DISCOMFORT of change?

I realise that motivation dissappear as soon as discomfort kicks in. So how ro make discomfort BEARABLE enough not to scare away motivation?

So I asked myself, do I really know WHY I want to achieve a specific goal? Most of the time, I just sit on the pink cloud that the dream will come through without any understanding. WHY I actually dream of what dream? I have to be really SPECIFIC with my answer.

I made a little draft to give another go this year, and I hope it can help someone else.

- Precontemplation: starting to become aware that there may be something to change

- Contemplation: thinking about making a change

- Preparation: Start putting a plan together to make a change

- Action: make the change

- Maintenance: determine how to maintain the change.

I wish you all (and me) to have smallest steps possible in achieving your goals in 2024.
