“This year I’m starting the gym”, “I’m going to start doing some sport”, “This time I’m going to go to university”, “It’s just that now I’m going to pay off my debts”, “This year is mine, I’m going to save to buy a car”, these and others, are some of the promises that many make after receiving the New Year, when they take stock of their lives and draw the pattern of the immediate future with the intention of “improving”.
Yes, we make promises or set goals every time we say goodbye to a year to welcome a new one, but how faithful are we to comply with the guidelines? It certainly requires discipline, organization and willpower to do it and… not many are prepared in that regard.
Be careful with the following: the goals that many set are tending to improve physically, reduce debts, buy something material, among other things that would not fit in this first installment of “Journalism and Grammar” at the beginning of this year 2023, but if we look closely, those goals (does not apply in general) do not rest on seeing what we need based on our weaknesses to be better professionals or human beings.
I remember that once I saw a video, one of those that comes to your WhatsApp, where it was sought to make people understand the importance of psychology and to eradicate many taboos in this regard. “If you go to the gym every day to have a better physique, I don’t see anything wrong with going to a psychologist if I understand that I need it: you exercise your physique, I exercise my mind… I do it by talking and venting with someone who can help me ”, was what the man who was the protagonist of the audiovisual to which I refer was saying.
Now, I ask you: within the goals set for this 2023, have you set any guidelines to improve your spelling or energize your neurons? If this is on your list, I congratulate you, because you consider it important to activate that part that drives who we are: the brain, where the two hemispheres that control our voluntary movements, speech, intelligence, memory, emotions and processes information received through the senses.
If you have not taken into account what I say in the previous paragraph, I invite you to do so: cultivate the habit of reading, locate a reading club, write down your feelings, in short… do not stop giving life to neurons, because they move EVERYTHING .
Thanks for reading me!
