In a few more hours the year 2020 will be gone forever. What I can say it is oh well What a year? I know that many of us will remember it because a lot has happened this year. There was ups as well as downs, but the good thing is that we are alive, so life goes on and let us make our future brighter.
First, let’s review the year 2020; what happened to your plans, what about your resolutions as a couple? Did they happen? if not why? Some people will say yes all they plans and resolutions occurred, but for others it is only partial. in fact, For some only 40% of their plans got realized, for others 80 but the less fortunate did not see it happen at all. Did you work on it and it does not come true or you give up mid-way?
It is always good to make plans, to have resolutions for the new year. I know that many people do that and two or three months later, they give up on everything or they simply just forget about it. Do not do that, hold on on your dreams, on your projects, it is up to you to make them happen, nobody else is going to do that for you. So work on them hard so that you realize them.
I know well how challenging some projects can be, but it is not a reason to get frustrated then be discouraged and throw in the towel. Look what has occurred in 2020, lot of people who planned to travel the world, go on a cruise in summertime, or go on a business venture did not see it happen. We all know what was the big challenge of 20220 , we do not have to name it. Although their projects did not come true in 2020 that does not mean it will not never see the light of day. Just save money and plan it all over again. Hopefully in 2021 they may enjoy it.
Let us take my case as an example, I have planned to make a trip with my family in spring 2020, and unfortunately it coincided with the moment when the virus was spreading in the world and that very time when lock downs started. I was forced to abandon the project at that time. But this year, my husband and our kid will go on vacation, this time I plan it for summertime instead because by that time, hopefully, traveling will get easier. I have other projects that did not happen in 2020 but I plan to come up with them in early 2021, I am not a person who get discouraged easily.
Now it is the time to reflect on your relationship, if you have not started to do so already. Reflect on yourself, reflect on what you do think you can do better, reflect on what you can improve so that your life change for the better. Be honest, everyone has flaws and you do have some, be transparent with yourself find them and start to work on them. If you have been with your other half for quite a while, I am pretty sure that in a moment where she caught up in an upset moment has pointed your flaws. Working at least on you can be a good start in your journey to improve yourself and your family life.
What other things you think you can change, maybe this is a journey you can embark on. This is a very good project. Having plans, having projects for your husband and yourself it is a good sign, you are not only thinking about the present moment but you also thinking for long-term, which is excellent .You are trying or finding ways to be happy and at the same time to indulge yourself too. So everybody wins.
What can you do to improve your relationship with your significant other? How much do you want to please him/her, how much do you plan to make him/her happy? You know what? It is not to early to start preparing Valentine’s day; oh no; give some thoughts how you can plan it differently this year to surprise her/him. Always look forward to better your family life because life is dynamic and we do have to keep up.
For instance, do you spend as much time as you want with your spouse? As a couple do you devote enough time to each other? I am not talking about the two of you just being together in the same room, and not even interacting as either everybody is busy checking their emails or reading messages, or one of you wants to communicate but the other person is in the middle of something else therefore there is no time allotted to that. Both of you were physically in the same place but not mentally. When that situation becomes a common occurrence, your marriage turns out not as healthy as before. Quality time is something that strengthening relationships, something that makes you want to spend even more time with your other half which is a very good thing as you pledge to spend your live beside your spouse.
Guys the end of a year and the beginning of a new one is the opportune time to reflect on your life with your significant other and make projects so that you enjoy life and live better. It does not have to be a big project, small ones work as well as big ones, what is important what you aim at , your goals . Something as simple as going out for a walk in company of your significant other can be a very good project. When done regularly it helps you to be fit and at the same time it gives you the opportunity to spend time and have talks with your spouse.
Happy New year!
