Easy, Accessible New Year Resolutions for All

I read somewhere that a writer should always provide value to their readers. Unfortunately, my columns are mostly about stray dogs, mosquitoes, showers, and uncles in my society.

read somewhere that a writer should always provide value to their readers. Unfortunately, my columns are mostly about stray dogs, mosquitoes, showers, and uncles in my society. But every New Year, I like to provide my readers with easy, accessible new years' resolutions. These resolutions are easy to implement and will not add to all the already mounting pressures in your life.

Do not be perturbed by the mundane. Take the advice given by Adi Shankaracharya in Nirvana Shatakam - Chidananda Roopah Shivoham Shivoham - which loosely translates to 'I am consciousness and bliss'. Every time your boss gives you trouble, or you're stuck in traffic - remind yourself that you're not a software engineer. You are consciousness and bliss. Extend this thought to news around you, the ever-changing dynamics of the world, or the constant emotional highs and lows of life.
