2013 Agenda (One)

This year is about to end and one of the most popular traditions is the so-called “New Year’s Resolution.” Well a New Year’s Resolution is considered a promise to oneself, that oftentimes is not fulfilled. So instead of making a New Year’s Resolution, I will make an agenda of the things I wish to do, considering that these things will help me become a better person. I would like to share this to you, for you may feel like you also want to do it. You can also tweak things you didn’t like and change it to what favours you the most.

The Jar of Emotions

Three jars will be used for the first thing to do on the first day of 2013. The first jar will be called the “Positive Jar.” The second jar will be called the “Negative Jar.” And the third one will be called “The Jar of Wishes.”

The Positive Jar will consist of all the things, big or small, that have made you happy or smile, or made you feel positive throughout the year. For each thought or thing, you will have to write vague details on a small piece of paper which will be enough to make you remember the cause of your positiveness. Each paper should have the date, time and day of the said thought. After writing it, you then roll it and drop it inside the jar.

The same thing shall be done to the two jars, only in the Negative Jar, the things that would be written are the things you consider to have a negative effect on your life and being and The Jar of Wishes shall contain all you dreams and aspirations.

Lastly, The Jar of Randomness should contain all of the memories you wish not to forget. At the end of the year, you will read each piece of paper. As you read the Positive Jar, I’m sure all of you will smile again.

As for The Negative Jar, after reading, you can choose either to burn or throw these things away. This will symbolise that you have moved on and will never get affected by the same things again.

The Jar of Wishes is like a collection of the things you wish to be done in the upcoming year. This will then be the basis of the things you are determined to achieve. As you read through them, separate each in categories: the first is when you still feel that you want to do the wish, second if you are sure you don’t want to continue the dream, and third will be the indecisive category. Once finished, you can smile happily, proud of yourself because you have made it through another year. Stronger than ever.

And maybe you want to decorate your own jars to make it look appealing!
