Blank slate - Again!

So we have that day again!
That day when you can feel the positivity in the air. When almost everyone is happy and motivated. Well almost everyone. Except for some people who are perpetually in pessimistic state.
The day for planning with renewed vigor.
The day when we shed the baggage of procrastination, frustration, negativity and pursue the journey ahead with zeal.
Its the first day of new year!
Normally people take stock of their plans for last year, make resolutions for new year regarding whatever they wanted to achieve in coming year.
I think before all that, better to soak in all the positivity, be grateful that we have got a blank slate again so that we can start afresh.
Its a chance to let go of everything that was bogging us down.

Another thing to keep in mind is that this new beginning is not limited to 1st of January only. The pattern that I have observed is our mood swings are like see-saw or sinusoidal waveform. Hyperactive on start of new year but deflated like balloon out of air on the sign of first hurdle or setback which sometimes can happen as soon as the first day only.
I  think it happens with everyone and I'm no exception,  but whenever it  happens to me I'll keep in mind two things
1)  This new year  is like a  blank  diary of 365  pages.  If  first page is torn or  soiled that it  does not means that you cannot create something good on  remaining pages
2)  Its imperative to set positive goals not the negative  ones,  This  positive or negative I  does not mean positive and negative in moral sense. for me negative goals are with magic word "No", "Zero" or "Without". The problem with such goals lies in old adage that says "Not thinking about something is also thinking about same thing only". 

One of the main endeavor is my life has been is to get out of this rat - race. But unfortunately to get out of the rat-race also, You have to run faster. And new year is the time when the whistle goes off.So this time is like
Get. Set , Go!
