Back to Basics: the 3 fundamentals that everyone always forget about New Year Resolutions

2020 had been a year like no other. While we might have gone through several ups and downs throughout the past several months, another year full of opportunities and blessings await for us to make life look better than ever before. With just a few days into 2021, one may say its time to create a new set of resolutions. Now that 2020 is gone for good, setting yourself to become a better version of yourself is one influential way to start off the new year right. "How could you possibly do that?", one may ask. Simple: by creating resolutions! By creating resolutions, you "[a]llow [yourself] to commit to continue good practices, modify an undesired trait/behavior, reach personal goals, and to generally strengthen [your own] way of living" (Wikipedia).

While creating resolutions is indeed positive, creating them, and most importantly, keeping up with them, may not be so easy as it may seem. The reason behind this is that we tend to ignore the fundamentals about these resolutions. Below are 3. Please do give them a read, and don't forget to subscribe to my blog, like, comment, and share! 

1. Your Resolutions don't have to be "Year Long Ones"

Some of you may presume that New Year Resolutions are to be "Year Long Ones". I don't intend to stop any of you from making any for yourself, even if that's not entirely true. Just bear in mind that no matter what your resolutions may look like, never be so harsh on yourself about them. After all, New Year Resolutions are a new set of basic goals that one intends to fulfill throughout the months to come, one goal at a time. 

2. Your Resolutions require some sort of Motivation

I'm sure it's not too difficult to establish a new set of resolutions. But as we build them, I'm sure we all don't look ahead to what methods we plan on utilizing to inspire ourselves to keep up with our goals. That sounds pressuring indeed, but the results are endlessly optimistic! But how can we remain dedicated and, most importantly, inspired to perform certain tasks?

    A. Establish a sense of interest in the goals you plan to execute.

    B. Be passionate about the goals you sought to complete.

    C. Make sure your goals inspire you.

    D. Take breaks when you need them the most.

    E. Reward yourself!

3. Create Goals that Speak for You!

Surely, getting input from your family, friends, and peers on what goals you plan to stick to throughout the year is fantastic! While the feedback you will receive will enable you to strengthen the objectives you have already set out, there can be times where such feedback may disrupt what you intend to achieve. Remember to set targets that speak for you. 

With all that said, I hope you all create great resolutions for yourself and keep up with them at the best of your abilities. Best of luck, and  Happy New Year 2021! ðŸŽ‰

Powerful Influences: Tamil Heritage Month

  Tamil Heritage Month is observed every January in Canada. Since 2016, the month of January has been dedicated to the Tamil community in order to raise awareness and appreciation for all of the Tamil peoples achievements and contributions up to this point in day. The month of January is also the month in which Tamils across the world celebrate Thai Pongal, popularly known as the Tamil equivalent of Thanksgiving. Thai marks the first day of January in the Tamil Solar Calendar. Thai Pongal is celebrated from Jan 14 - 17 every year. During this time, the Tamil people express their thanks to the sun for shining its light on to Mother Earth. Throughout the rest of the first week of January, Tamils express thanks to everyone and everything who makes our lives not only livable but also delightful. They show their gratitude to farmers and cows in particular. The cow is seen as a divine representative in Hinduism, and as such, the farm animal is revered and protected. Furthermore, milk is an

the very essence of humanity

  Human rights are characterized as a collection of basic human rights and fundamental freedoms which, despite race, class, sex, ethnicity, and nationality, are entitled to every human being. These rights shield us from immorality and are protected by both municipal and international law from the day we are born until the day we breath our last.⁣ ⁣ Human right violations on the other hand can be defined as a form of failure caused by a country or a state to ensure the protection of our basic human rights and fundamental freedoms. These also include the failure to avoid violations committed by private individuals (i.e. domestic violence).⁣ ⁣ With us living in 2021, it is quite alarming for someone like me to notice the numerous violations of human rights taking place around the world today. Some of these breaches, as you all may already know about, exist in the following events listed below:⁣ ⁣ The BLM Movement:⁣ ⁣ The BLM Movement is classified as both a political and soc

Pondering Upon the Bliss of Existence

It’s insane to hear my immigrant parents tell me this over and over again: that we live in a peaceful, democratic society, with many privileges at hand, and that our only goal is to make them proud by becoming really successful. The trauma that they’ve been through is legit, it’s lively, it has never vanished. It’s what makes them speak like such – after all, they'd obviously want nothing other than a better life for their children. But the trauma we go through is never spoken about. Why? Expectations. Obligations. Respect. We are often led by hand to fulfill the expectations of others, obey the elderly, and to always show respect. This puts us like myself at a disadvantage. I’m sure you’d be able to relate when I ask you to think about the following: When you work so hard to please others around you and make them proud, do you fail to look after yourself and most importantly, your happiness? When you work so hard to please others around you and make them proud,
