Plan yourself for 2024 and keep growing upwards

Hello everyone, I am Vivian!

I am grateful to myself for working hard in the past year. It is my self-discipline and hard work that have brought me many changes.

I went from being confused and just treating writing as a hobby with no profit, to meeting good teachers, to growing, to starting to make money, to having a firm direction for the future.

In the past year, I have not only gained material benefits, but I have also become clearer about my future direction.

There is a saying in the Navarre Book:

“The greatest superpower is the ability to change yourself.”

Over the past year, I have gradually learned about self-salvation, learned to rely more on myself for everything and rely less on others, learned to spend time improving myself, and isolated many distracting voices from the outside world.

I learned to plan and deeply realized that only by making myself stronger can everything around me get better.

The new year has begun, and I have begun to plan for myself in 2024. I want to use practical actions to make myself better bit by bit.

In the future, I will adhere to long-termism, insist on writing, work hard to make money, maintain a healthy body, cultivate myself deeply, and let myself continue to grow.

As the old saying goes, “Everything done beforehand will be ruined. “ Although I am very clumsy, I believe that as long as I have goals, plans, and actions, I can move step by step in the direction I want.

In 2024, I will work hard in the following aspects, hoping to gain a better self.

01 Work hard to make money and support yourself;

There is a saying: “Material poverty can destroy a person’s dignity throughout his life, and spiritual poverty can consume several reincarnations of a person.”

After experiencing the cruelty of reality, I understand even more the importance of making money.

There are too many times in a person’s life when he needs money to defend his dignity, so be less pretentious and make more money when you have time.

1. Keep writing to make money

Writing is one of my favorite things and is now one of my most important sources of income.

I will write some articles every day to share my thoughts, feelings, experiences, knowledge, etc.

Continuously improve your expression skills, attract more readers, and increase your influence and value.

I will also continue to learn and learn from other excellent authors to improve my writing level and style.

I hope that through writing, I can convey some positive energy, inspire some thinking, and earn some money.

2. Accounting and saving

Although I don’t have much money, this habit is worth sticking to.

Bookkeeping not only allows me to clearly understand my financial situation, but also allows me to plan my financial future more consciously.

I record my income and expenses every day, analyze my consumption structure, control my expenses, save my own costs, and optimize my capital flow.

Force yourself to save some money every month, no matter how much, to leave yourself some fallback in case of emergencies.

3. Learn to manage money

As the saying goes: “If you don’t manage your money, your money won’t care about you.”

Although you may not earn much, you still need to have financial awareness.

I will spend some time regularly to learn some financial management knowledge and pay attention to some financial management information.

According to your actual situation, choose a financial management method that suits you, diversify your investment portfolio, and balance your returns and risks.

I believe that learning financial management can not only increase my income, but also improve my financial intelligence.

4. Develop good consumption habits

Consume selectively according to your own abilities and avoid blind and impulsive consumption behavior.

Only buy what you need and what is practical to reduce your consumption burden.

Work hard to make money, manage your finances well, enrich yourself, and make yourself better.

02 Maintain healthy living habits and take good care of your body;

Schopenhauer once said:

“Nine times out of ten, happiness depends on health.”

Once you get sick, you will understand the importance of health. Without health, it is difficult to be happy.

There is nothing more important in this life than health. Without health, no matter how much else you have, it is all empty talk.

In the past year, I spent a lot of money and suffered a lot due to my health.

Almost all the money I earned was spent in the hospital, and I had no energy to do other things I wanted to do.

So in the future, I will focus more on developing healthy living habits and taking good care of my body.

1. Adjust your work and rest and develop the habit of self-discipline

In the past year, sometimes in order to write, I often did not eat or sleep on time. These are undesirable behaviors.

In the future, I will focus on adjusting my work and rest, develop the habit of self-discipline, eat well every meal, stay up less late, and take good care of my body , so that my mentality will be more positive.

Allocate your time reasonably, complete your tasks efficiently, and avoid procrastination.

2. Maintain emotional stability

Over the years, I have come to appreciate more and more the importance of emotional stability.

Emotional instability not only harms the body, drains our energy, but also disrupts our original plans.

This year I will always pay attention to my emotional changes, adjust my emotional state in a timely manner, release my negative emotions, and cultivate my positive emotions.

Learn to seek your own emotional support system, such as communicating with your family, friends, colleagues, mentors, etc., sharing your joys, sorrows, sorrows, and listening to their suggestions and encouragement.

3. Exercise regularly

Some people say: “Exercise is the best weapon against aging and the best secret to staying healthy.”

For people like me who sit at desks and write every day, exercise is even more essential.

Sitting for long periods of time is not only bad for your health, but also makes you lose energy easily, and your learning and work efficiency will also be reduced.

From now on, I will develop the habit of writing for an hour, getting up and moving for a few minutes, looking into the distance, and giving my eyes a proper rest.

Perform certain exercises regularly, such as aerobics, jogging, walking, etc., to keep yourself in a happy mood.

4. Develop your own interests and hobbies

Spend some time cultivating your hobbies and doing things you like.

For example, do handicrafts, painting, cooking, singing, etc. to enrich yourself and inspire your love for life.

Develop healthy living habits and make your body healthier so that you can have more energy to work hard and struggle.

03 Cultivate yourself deeply, grow upward, and make yourself more valuable.

Writer Mai Jia once said:

“In our era, what we lack most are smart people, but what we lack most is actually the ‘person ‘ who is in constant conflict with ourselves. “

In this era of rapid development, we tend to become impetuous, anxious, unable to calm down and beat ourselves up.

However, the only person who can really get us out of this predicament is ourselves.

Next, I will calm down, let myself continue to settle, continue to work hard, work hard to break through the circle, and let myself continue to grow.

1. Keep reading and enrich yourself

Because of writing, I need to read a lot, and a lot of my materials and inspiration come from reading every day.

My reading is not limited to forms. It can be self-media online articles, classic books, etc.

I read some valuable books, articles, etc. every day, covering different fields, topics, angles, methods, etc.

I really like this sentence from the “Navarre Book”:

“The confusion you feel when you read is like the muscle soreness you feel when you exercise.”

Reading is to exercise our mental muscles. From reading, we gain more knowledge, be inspired, and have our opinions verified and revised.

I will also record my reading experience, reflect on my reading gains, share my reading feelings, and communicate with others about reading.

2. Learn more skills to improve your competitiveness

This era is changing rapidly. I always feel that having an extra skill will never be a disadvantage, because we never know when we will need it.

In other words, one day we will rely on it to make a living. The more we learn, the more choices we will have.

In your spare time, learn some useful skills, such as programming, design, foreign languages, speech, writing, etc.;

Let your abilities be improved and expanded, your work optimized and innovated, and your life improved and facilitated.

I believe that learning more skills will not only give me a variety of talents, but also give me a flexible thinking.

3. Grow upward and work hard to break through the circle

As someone from an ordinary family, I do not have good background resources. If I stick to my own circle, my development may be greatly restricted.

So if I want to get better, I have to constantly break through my own circle.

In addition to my own efforts, I may also pay to continue to contact circles and people who are better than myself, so that I can have more opportunities to grow.

2024 is still a year worth looking forward to!

On the occasion of the New Year, plan yourself, work hard to make money, live a healthy life, cultivate yourself deeply, grow upward, work towards your ideal life, and meet a better self.

All the above are encouraged!
