As we step into 2023, we may be filled with excitement and anticipation of what's ahead. We can have all sorts of plans and dreams that we hope to achieve in the coming year. Some of us have already made resolutions so we can have a new, improved version of ourselves!
Be grateful
For some, this time is the best opportunity to look back at the highlights of the past year and be grateful. Looking through our pictures or social media reminds us of the important moments that mark 2022. This past year has surely granted us many learnings, challenges, and blessings that help shape who we are today.
We all want this new year to be a special and meaningful one. Here are some tools to make it the best it can be!
Plan ahead
Make each day count! Keep track of all your events and to-do's with your calendars and planners. Never miss a beat when everything is in plain sight for the month! See all your goals come to fruition when you break them down into doable steps and plotted out throughout the year.
Live "Art"-fully
Do your journalling in a creative way this year! Let papemelroti artist and owner Patricia Paterno inspire you to do art with simple yet fun techniques. She shares how she does her daily reflections and paintings in this self-made video.
Stay on Track
Live each day purposefully by jotting down your thoughts and experiences. The famous philosopher Socrates encourages us to examine our lives closely. A lot of what happens to us in our lifetime only makes sense when we put them down into words. Tools such as scrapbooks, notebooks, and journal writing pads make this an enjoyable pastime. These can help bring clarity to our minds and help us live with more meaning and joy. If you love to draw or do collages, you can also use a sketchbook to document the memories.
Find your Advocacy
Share the best of yourself with others. This is a surefire way to grow and become a better person this 2023. You never know how far a ripple of kindness can reach! Get everyone involved in the advocacy closest to your heart. There are many ways you can make a difference. If you love animals, you can volunteer at the Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS).
We hope this year will truly be amazing for you and your loved ones!
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
