- One of the most keenly anticipated dates for most of us is the last day of the calendar year, and the excitement, enthusiasm, as well as a great sense of expectation about the ensuing New Year’s Day. Thus, January 1st is welcomed with renewed vigour, intent, purpose, commitment, and, of course, resolutions. Now, we know that the resolutions are often formed during the last few days of the previous year, with an avowed promise to kickstart certain long-held virtues, but invariably failing to put them into action. Who does not know about the benefits of regular exercise that could be in the form of cycling, farming, swimming, running, brisk walking, and even indulging in some physical activity that helps to make our heart beat faster than normal? We all know this.

- Every one of us wishes to stay healthy, vivacious, energetic, and to be at the top of our games in whatever endeavours we undertake. It could be professional and/or domestic endeavours, but what we all secretly wish is to stay absolutely on top of our physical/mental well-being. For this to fructify, what we are expected to contribute by assiduously pursuing certain virtues needs no further elaboration. This is where the discipline aspect comes into the picture. The moot point to ponder over here is how many of us are prepared to go through the grind to ensure we realise the stated objective? Yes, this is where the New Year resolutions make their presence felt, but they have the tendency to simply dissipate in a matter of a few days. Let’s dwelve further into this.

- Agreed, the fast-paced modern-day world, completely driven by the information-technology digitalization efforts, makes our day-to-day life one helluva challenging. The demands of the modern-day world are manifold, as sticking to a set routine where regular physical activity assumes challenging proportions. Now, we all agree that none of us has more than 24 hours at our disposal. As such, prioritizing our needs and necessities becomes imperative. This being the case, why not make earnest efforts at ensuring we make at least an hour available for ourselves by assiduously indulging in any form of physical activity that suits us? Not an impossible task at all. The month of December offers an opportunity to concretize such plans, you see.

- Once the resolutions are made, the only aspect that should be passionately pursued is to push ahead with the same. Make no mistake, there are challenges galore waiting for us to erect an obstacle. But is it so difficult not to overcome those challenges by prioritizing our health over everything else? Absolutely possible. Just imagine a scenario when we diligently adhere to the New Year’s resolutions by pressing ahead despite irritating occurrences along the way. The feeling of overcoming those seemingly insurmountable hindrances is inexplicable. The subsequent confidence that bourses through our body would make us feel unbeatable, ready to conquer the world. Why can’t we simply make those resolutions into a habit? We can. Let’s make an effort.
