How I'm handling my resolution
A resolution is a firm decision or commitment to achieve a specific goal or set of goals.
I see it as a promise you make to yourself to change, improve and accomplish something
It more like changing your behavior, improving a particular thing or achieving something
Personally, towards the end of 2024, as at September, October to December, that was this feeling that began to live in me, the one that keeps reminding me of becoming who I am and how to go about the whole thing
It was nothing compared to the regular feeling of wanting to make it in life, buh there was this pressure I feel, that made me look like I wasn't serious with my life in some aspects, and this was something that keeps ringing in my head day and night
I felt like there was something I wasn't doing for myself, I felt like I was left behind and my vision where no longer becoming one
I had to make a decision of making progress, the kind of progress that seems better than the previous progress I call progress, I felt like i needed to improve, and there was something i really need to accomplish
I felt the best way to improve myself is by improving my spiritual life, focusing on my business and also my physical life ...
I was this kinda person that finds it difficult to read my Bible, even when I pray, the only time you may see me with my Bible was during our family morning devotion, aside that, it always hard for me to Carry my bible to study and is something i needed to change so badly, I decided to start reading spiritual text which is going to help me grow, and also to practice meditation
I've also decided to allocate time each day for spiritual practices and so on
I felt this is another best way to handle my own spiritual life progress
Handling my business is one of the resolution I kept in a high place
I'm a fashion designer and as a designer my business is not just about sewing clothes, but about creating garment that make people feel confident, elegant and beautiful, I decided to focus on my business, I'm commiting to taking my tailoring skills to the next level
I have imagined myself walking into my workshop surrounded by fabrics, threads, and sewing machines, taking a deep breath feeling a sense of excitement and purpose.
I want to expand my client base, create a new line of clothing, or improve my online presence, and do things that will obviously make me different from other tailors
I've also decided to train my self to improve in my own skills setting aside dedicated time for designing new patterns and collections.
Finally, even in the process of involving myself in all these, I would not forget to take care of myself in the process,
Coping with my resolution has not been easy though buh it's a goal I really need to accomplish,
Spiritually, I've gotten some text which are guiding me and helping me so far, and have created time to connect with my inner self each day
And I must say is helping a lot
In my business, I've been working diligently to improve my tailoring skills and expand my client base, and taken online courses to stay up to date with the latest fashion trends so I won't be left behind,
As for my physical life, I've made a conscious effort to prioritize self care, I've started taking short breaks though out the day to stretch, move ans rest my body. Cause omoh, body no be fire wood 😂
Yeah, I still face some challenges and set backs, buh I'm committed to staying in track. I remind myself that small steps lead to big changes and I celebrate each tiny victory along the way
As I look back on my progress, I feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. I know that I still have a long way to go buh I'm excited for the journey and the fact that I'm making progress,
How about you?
I know that no matter the resolution you take, you may experience some setback buh then again, I urge us all to always remind ourselves of the aim if becoming what you really want, and that alone will keep us moving to the accomplishment end
Always remember to prioritize your well-being, and self care, do yourself good by focusing on yourself as well
Having a mental picture of what you envision for yourself is a great push for you to really want to reach that expectation you have for yourself. Putting all you think about into practice which will later come into realisation is a great work you're doing for yourself. All the best. And keep celebrating your little accomplishments.
I love the line that says yo have decided to improve yourself on your skills to be the best version of yourself. May you achieve all you set to do this year and beyond.
