July has started. Like every other month. Like all the other eleven months start, July has started as well. Nothing special, nothing new. This is no special once in a 100-year day kinda month. Just a normal one. Right? THEN WHAT THE HECK IS EVERYONE RAMBLING ON AND ON ABOUT ALL OVER TWITTER AND INSTAGRAM? What is the meaning of monthly resolutions?
Everyone seems to be so happy that July has started. Making new resolutions, wishing a good and productive July, working on yourself this month posts and what not. Like it’s the new year. Did I miss the notice that made July the most important month of the Gregorian calendar? Maybe it happens before every month? Why is everyone celebrating new months? Is it the new social media pressure? Maybe it’s some new month motivation effect that gets everyone’s productivity levels up and I am the only one missing it.
I kind of got carried away ranting about this July above. Alright, tell me, should I also be excited about July? I guess it makes some sense. What are some monthly reset ideas that will get me out of my old poor productivity flow and get me all pumped up for the next? Should I also make resolutions? Hmmm. I guess I already have my targets set for this month:
See, I think that is one problem I caught in this trend. We have new year resolutions because we have a whole year for those resolutions. Now how am I going to squeeze in all these resolutions in this one small month?
But if I make smaller achievable goals, then I guess it will be very beneficial. Monthly goal setting just may be good for mental health as well. Instead of making yearly goals, breaking them into 12 pieces might make it easier to achieve. But let’s just not get overwhelmed by resolutions.
Plus, the WEATHER!! This heat is getting on my nerves. And global warming to top it all off. It has made the weather worse, year after year. Maybe in a couple of years, we will be frying off omelets outdoors under sunlight if this keeps going on.
That climate girl, what was her name…… oh yes, Greta Thunberg. She really riled up the whole world some time ago. You must read about the start of her journey in this article. And I know there are Greta’s lovers and haters, but I am neither. I haven’t done much research on her work. I only know that she did spread the awareness. And I just read that she first appeared on the scene way back in 2018. When she was just 15 YEARS OLD!!!!. She is really doing beyond her years. You have got to give that to the girl.
Well I hope the world turns a new leaf and we start seeing slightly cooler weathers in the coming future (I hope in my lifetime, ain’t nobody got time to worry about great grandchildren). Because just coping with heat waves and adapting to it will not get us anywhere. There is a limit to how hot we can bear. Then the climate change also affects our mental health. It affects productivity. It does to me. When I am hot and sweaty, keep that productivity talk away from me.
“This body acts in such mysterious ways sometimes. It looks at what it doesn’t want to see, listens to what it doesn’t want to hear, talks what it doesn’t want to say, walks when it doesn’t want to go, stops when it doesn’t want to stay, and does what it hates the most. Our heart yearns for who we don’t love no more, our mind remembers what we don’t think no more, we are where we want to be no more. It’s a confusing life”
This body and mind connection is sometimes really off. Maybe my circuitry is short. Does this happen to you as well? Do you feel confused emotionally sometimes? Like you are doing something but want to do something else? I would love to tell you how I deal with emotional and physical confusion or whatever you want to call this feeling, but I not too sure myself. Let me think…. I guess the best way I have got to deal with it is to write it down. Like I am writing this diary, talking to you. And second way is to just give that feeling some time. Feelings tend to settle with time, mostly.
Oh yes, just the other day, this thing came to my mind. I am still trying to understand it, I’ll let you in on it, maybe you can help me:
“The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Maybe the world needs all but then who is going to bear the weight of being the bad and the ugly”
I guess this came to my mind when I was thinking about the movie Hacksaw Ridge. Yes, it got stuck I my mind for longer that I thought. In my last diary entry, I told you about a couple of lessons I learned from the movie. I said in one of the points that there are simply bad and mean people in the world just like the ones who caused trouble for Desmond Doss in the movie.
Then I started on this thought, that no matter what happens, there will be all kinds of people in this world. The good and bad maintains the balance in the world. Just like our wildlife ecosystem. If we get rid of all the predators, the ecosystem will be destroyed. So from there I came to this thought, this quote that I mentioned above. That maybe the world needs these people.
But what actually is the meaning if good vs evil or good vs bad? And who is going to be the bad guy and give a leg-up to the other people? Its like these people will be bearing all the hatred, all the negativity and give boost to positivity to spread further. So does that make them good people??? Hmmmm.
I think we can’t hate on bad people or mean people. Because we are also bad and mean and rude at times right? We all are. Some times. Maybe its not about good people and bad people. Maybe its about the good and bad sides of all people. There are just people, normal people being good and bad at times. And we all have history that makes us act the way we act. Although nothing gives us the right to hurt others, but being human, we tend to hurt others no matter what we do. Now that is a labyrinth of philosophical concepts that I don’t think anyone could benefit from. But maybe we can. Please discuss this thing in the comments section. Maybe we can make it make sense there.
Are you going to make resolutions for July? I would love to know what you are planning to do?
Do you fall into such social media pressures and do stuff everyone else around the world is also doing?
Are you worried about the climate? WHat are the conditions where you live?
Do you know about Greta Thunberg? What are your opinions on her and her work?
Do you feel your body disconnected from your mind, like you wanna do something else but are doing something else?
Are you mean or rude to others sometime? Do you think that is who you are or that is just a phase? Maybe your reaction is because of history or something you faced before?
