12 tips for a fresh start

If you wish for a new beginning, you must focus on certain aspects of your life.

Dan Matthews, a Certified Psychosocial Rehabilitation Practitioner (CPRP) with an extensive background in community-based rehabilitation, advised to not compare yourself with others. Instead, he suggested taking a hard look at one’s own life to identify and focus on the facets that they hope to change. 

Learn how to properly budget finances

Benilde Well-Being Center (BWC) of the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde understands and recognizes that starting over does not happen immediately.

From the professional observations of Matthews, the team has compiled 12 brief yet powerful tips to restart at square one:

1. Always learn something new

Try to expand your horizons. Be competitive in diverse career fields. Pursue further education. Enroll in online classes. Participate in workshops.

2. Take steps to face your fears 

Fear and apprehensions of the possible outcomes affect our decision-making. These may result to missed opportunities. Do not be afraid to take risks within reason. 

3. Maintain a meaningful social circle 

Identify the circles and relationships that positively affect you. Initiate conversations. Meet interesting people. Make new friends. Nurture both new and existing networks.

Learn how to properly budget finances

4. Find ways to cope with anxiety 

Choose a healthy activity that helps relieve your anxiety. Do it in moderation. It may be reading, writing, exercising, or even watching Netflix. Engage in new hobbies.

5. Become part of a movement 

Allot time and energy in a cause you feel passionate about. Participating in a group that contributes to the common good can make a big impact on your life.

6. Take ownership 

Free yourself with passivity. Believe you can rely on yourself. You don’t have to give up anything in your life to regain control over it. Be the captain of your own ship. 

7. Pay attention to your dreams 

Dreams can unravel sensible hopes and fears. But consider that these are products of life forces that we cannot truly comprehend. Thus, it is best not to base your life decisions on these.

Incorporate yoga, journaling, and more into daily routines to increase mindfulness

8. Unplug to tap into creativity   

Technology creates mental fatigue. It leaves little energy for creative processes.

Engage in interesting offline activities. Spend more time in nature. It allows a certain part of your brain to be refreshed. 

9. Challenge comfort zones 

Discover what you are capable of. Step out of your comfort zone. Focus on your next attainable goal.

10. Practice daily mindfulness 

Incorporate practices such as meditation, yoga, journaling, or breathing exercises into your daily routine. Take deep breaths at your desk amid a stressful work day. It lowers blood pressure and helps regain your mental focus and clarity.

Sign up for online classes to learn something new

11. Assess your budget 

You need to know what your financial limits are. Plan and set up a budget. 

12. Manifest goodness 

Target a new version of yourself. Create a vision board. Revisit this to remind yourself of your goals.

Manila Standard

Manila Standard website (manilastandard.net), launched in August 2002, extends the newspaper’s reach beyond its traditional readers and makes its brand of Philippine news and opinion available to a much wider and geographically diverse readership here and overseas.

Digital Edition

In tone and content, the online edition mirrors the editorial thrust of the newspaper. While hewing to the traditional precepts of fairness and objectivity, MS believes the news of the day need not be staid, overly long or dry. Stories are succinct, readable and written in a lively style that has become a hallmark of the newspaper.
