What to Do in 2019

Hey! I have no continuation to my self-journey but I feel like posting about something else so here we go.

Taking advantages of this new year vibes, I am going to tell you what are some of my resolutions in 2019, regardless of my unachieved ones from 2018. I think these can be applied in general, such as the list below.

1. Socialize More
I mean it, okay? Not using social medias, but in face-to-face. Seriously, do not only increase your skill of typing in talking using social media, but level up your socializing skill too. A warm conversation will surely make you happy, even it is only a slight feeling that comes up.

2. Move Your Body
Football, basketball, tennis, badminton, wushu, karate, yoga, home workout, modern-dance, you name it. You need at least once a week to move your body along. Not just because it kills your fat, but it only freshen up your mind. If you do sports to purposely decrease your stress, I suggest you to do yoga because it is proven to make up your mind and make you feel... fresh. Like a cake just pulled out from the oven.

Meanwhile yoga is for you to do by yourself, you can also play futsal or any kind of sports which require more than one people to play. It helps you with the point number one too, so it is a two birds one stone thing.

3. Listen
Either it's music or people talking to you, just do it. Music will help to accompany you whether you are either lonely or sad, meanwhile listening to people talk to you will help to decrease your ego. When you actually listen to people, you will give yourself a chance to consider of other's people existence and thoughts. You give them a chance to speak up and just so you know, some people are dramatically happy when you do that.

4. Think and Speak, not Speak and Think
I know it is just a matter of the placement of the words, but usually the word which comes first is what you do first. And as I have written it, you really should think before you speak. I know this is common, but sometimes people just need a reminder to think of what they are going to impact to their company. Because what comes out from your mouth can affect greatly or badly to those who hear. Some people just talk what they want out of anger sometimes, and it tends to hurt the listeners. After that, they just realize what they have spoken and soon they will regret it. Classic.

5. Tell
If you have a problem with someone, tell them. If you like someone, tell them. If you want to apologize, tell them. If you want to be grateful, tell them. Appreciate what they have done to you by feeling grateful and actually tell them. Because sometimes, a simple "thank you" to a cashier in a supermarket can mean a lot to them.

That's all I can think of, for now. And by the way, I am really applying this to my daily life although I might forget it at some occasion. However, hey, it's good to be a reminder to someone out there.

And as always,

until next time.
