Melbourne: At the beginning of the new year, every person takes a resolution to do or not to do something to make his life better. The new beginning of the new year magically gives a new hope to life and also a new hope that things will be better this year. After nearly two years in the shadow of the COVID-19 global pandemic, ahead of the start of 2022, expectations are higher than ever. With the global pandemic having adverse effects on physical and mental health,…
It has also significantly changed employment, income, travel, leisure and socialization abilities. However, this impact on each one’s life depends on how their life was before and how much the circumstances affected them individually. Based on discussions with colleagues and patients, we may see resolutions that are driven by personal loss, guilt, and anger, as well as resolutions such as improving ourselves or making a big difference. .
Strong or resolute character…
How we cope with the impact of the global pandemic….. largely depends on our character, our abilities to cope with adversity, sources such as trauma, tragedy, threats or stress. It involves removing oneself from bad situations and developing one’s own character personally.
People who have lost their loved ones due to COVID-19 can overcome them in the new year by taking various resolutions, but at times they can also take a negative form. Positive resolutions can be associated, either way, with honoring the deceased or living a life well. Powerful, inspiring resolutions can also be taken, such as changing bad health habits like smoking, excessive drinking, etc. On the other hand, negative resolutions, often fueled by feelings of anger and despair, may be vows to avenge or punish those they find responsible for the deaths of their loved ones.

Personal character building.
Since this virus has posed a great risk to health, the resolution to make oneself healthier and better than ever on New Year’s can prove to be quite right. Quitting smoking is a very common New Year’s resolution and it also seems more sensible during a global pandemic, as the respiratory system appears to be most affected by this infection.
The global pandemic has strengthened the desire for change, although it has not made it easier to fulfill the resolutions. A plan and professional help are essential to meeting a resolution not to use alcohol or other drugs. Losing weight is also another favorite New Year’s resolution. The famous ‘COVID kilo’ will undoubtedly inspire a lot of people to take a pledge to lose weight in 2022. But ‘crash diets’ are common and people are often able to stick to this resolution only until February. A careful diet and exercise plan coupled with determination will make it more likely to be successful.

Big changes…
People are more likely to take general resolutions because of COVID-19. However, resolutions for a holistic “lifestyle change” are likely to be wider as well. Due to travel restrictions, working or studying at home and being less socially active, many people’s attitude towards personal and professional life has changed in the last two years. This very important change in the way we live our lives has inspired many people to rethink their future. Many people have found great pleasure in spending time with family and are now rethinking the balance between their personal and professional lives.
After discovering that working from home is largely possible, many have been inspired to rethink their career options in 2022. Some experts expect a large number of people to resign after the global pandemic, which could range from frontline workers to senior officials.
According to a recent study by ‘Microsoft’, more than 40 percent of people globally are considering quitting. People from various industries in the US, UK and Europe are also expected to hold similar views. In Australia, this trend is unclear, but still, joining a different job or profession in 2022 and beyond can be a New Year’s resolution.
Two ways of 2020…
COVID-19 has affected most of us immensely and has made us anxious about the future. Many believed that the global pandemic would end in 2020, but in 2021 cases of infection increased, after which lockdowns and restrictions were imposed.
In times of trauma, when the future is uncertain, behavior can be polarized. Some people adopt the idea of taking more risks and living only in the present. Others, on the other hand, take the opposite approach and exercise extreme caution and limit their existence to a great extent. Both types of people should make a thoughtful resolution for the new year according to their point of view.
