9 Questions to Ask Yourself to Change Your Life in 2023!
For those who want to improve their thinking and understand themselves better!
1. Am I holding on to something I need to let go off?
Sometimes an underlying situation that doesn't let us move forward in life is based on holding on to unhealthy things. To be more specific, holding on to unhealthy people, situations, habits, you name it. It's important now and then to re-evaluate our lives, try to understand what doesn't align with who we are anymore, and eventually let it go. Recently, I realized that someone who I couldn't see myself living without wasn't adding to my happiness but was only taking away from it and that's when I knew it was time to let go. I had to let go to find peace again. At the end of the day, anything toxic and threatening to our well-being isn’t worth it.
2. In what ways do I show myself love?
Self-love can mean different things to different people. For some, it means being kinder to themselves, and to others spending a day taking care of themselves or it can mean going on a trip. No matter what self-love means to you it’s important to incorporate it into your daily life especially if you think that you don’t spend enough time on self-love.
3. Am I living or just existing?
There is a big difference between living life and just existing in it. Existing means just remaining alive while living means that there is more to life than simply staying alive. We need to be aware that life isn’t all about finding a good job, making lots of money, becoming better than anyone else, fitting the mold of society, and creating a family. It’s also about building different sides of yourself and creating your own purpose first because that’s when you truly live.
4. What do I want to prioritize this year?
It could be mental health, physical health, building friendships, improving certain skills, education, family, a romantic relationship, or work. I strongly believe that it’s more efficient to focus on one or two things at a time instead of focusing on many things at the same time. Focusing on many things can get very overwhelming and eventually hold us back from achieving our goals.
