2018 has been an interesting year, just like every year. Nothing really exciting has happened this year but I have a very good feeling my next year will be an interesting one. This year I've been working, gone to Eilat, attempted to plan holidays that haven't happened, exercised and basically traveled back and forth to Tel Aviv more than the train (then again that's not too hard since it still doesn't go all the way). However, this year I have learnt a lot of life lessons and what better way to end the year than to dwell in all the things that went wrong.
1. Stay calm!
This has to be my first rule because this year I've pressured myself a lot in many different aspects. By pressuring myself I've been also been driving my friends insane. Things come at the right time and sometimes staying calm will make things so much more worth it.
Staying calm is also extremely important when arguing. As everyone most likely is aware of, arguments happen and sometimes over the smallest thing but if you take a deep breath and think about what a silly little thing you're getting annoyed about you can easily avoid conflict. Believe me, I've gotten into fights about cutting tomatoes simply because I didn't stay calm.
2. Speak up!
We all have things that bother us. Some things because of our own personality but also some things because of other people not behaving the way that is considered the decent way of behaving. I made the mistake for too long letting people treat me badly. Instead of speaking up from the beginning I let it continue and if you've let it happen once it's very hard to stop it from happening again. In many cases it gets to get point of no return and you have to accept that because you didn't speak up you've now made your bed and you'll think "If only I'd said something earlier".
3. Ask for help!
This year I have grown a lot in many aspects of my life. At work, personal development, health wise and understanding the world better. I couldn't do this by myself but with some help I managed to figure things out. By asking for help you are not accepting defeat, you are accepting that sometimes you simply can't make it on your own and that is ok. People are stronger together. We should all know that by now.
4. Find good things!
I know that it is extremely hard to find good things at bad times but there is always something positive going on. It might not be related to that particular situation but if you have something positive happening in life it might be easier to focus on that while the bad things get resolved. It's ok to be sad and it's ok to not be optimistic at all times but it is also ok to try to focus on the good things and be happy even when times are hard.
These life lessons are things I hope to bring with me into the next year and hopefully you all will too.
Have an amazing ending of this year and a Happy New Year. Hopefully 2019 will be the best one so far.
