A year for Change?

After the usual chaos of holidays and festivities over Xmas and New Year, everyone is hoping to settle down to some sort of normality.

Just as the last two years were dominated by the Covid Pandemic, 2023 got off to a rocky start due to some other X factors.

From a health point of view, Covid is still around and coupled with widespread flu cases, hospital admissions are still at critical levels.

Numerous strikes affecting travel, ambulance responses, healthcare and teaching to mention but a few, have not progressed with negotiations, so no real end in sight.

General costs continue to remain high, putting a strain on budgets.

 

At the beginning of each year, we all wish each other good health and good fortune, but we have no way of knowing what lies ahead.

We didn`t know Covid was going to face us  and we didn`t anticipate the crisis resulting from the war in Ukraine or the downsides of leaving the European Union.

The year ahead is a blank canvas. Some things are under our control and we can move forward, but many things are unknown and we must rise to the challenges and deal with them accordingly.

There will inevitably be changes for many, some are unexpected and may be unwanted, whilst others are chosen.

Because it is the beginning of a new year, many people  make it decision time to follow a long held  idea or an alternative lifestyle.

It can be very daunting and challenging to step out of a comfort zone and take on a new way of life.

However it can be extremely rewarding and a chance to learn much about  an individual`s strengths, weaknesses and character, and just how far ambition may lead.

It often calls for a bit of reinvention in order to have a new approach when branching out in to a different environment.

To that end I have put together a helpful  ebook which looks at some of the points mentioned below which  might benefit from a bit of sharpening up. 

I have named it "Become the Phoenix", taking inspiration from the mythical bird which rose from the ashes of its predecessor as a reinvention of its former self.

We really don`t know how others perceive us, neither on a physical appearance or personal attitude level.

Everyone has positive and negative points, so if starting out on a new journey, it would be a good time to make sure you are making the best of yourself.

Also important is having good physical and mental health.

Following on from Covid, many people have taken a while to recover, as fatigue seemed to be a common post viral effect.

Mental health has become such an important factor, as so many people are suffering from anxiety and depression and perhaps not having effective ways to deal with it.

If starting out on a new way of life, it is important to feel physically well and have a good well balanced mind set.

The year will progress, and many other X factors will have a bearing on how life turns out,

Everyone is different, and outcomes will vary. Good for some and not others.

That is the unique nature of life. The unknown quantity of it all, and the amazing things we learn from it,
