Welcome 2021, and Happy New Year! ✨🎍(英語版)

Happy New Year! Already nearly 3 weeks into the new year, what new challenges or opportunities await us?

Hello, everyone! It's been a while since my first blog post. I'm sorry for the long wait! Hopefully everyone had a calm, relaxing New Year holiday! 

2020 was a difficult year for everyone. A global pandemic (汎発), political and social unrest (政治的および社会的不安), job struggles, and so much more. I think we all hope that 2021 will be better - let's hope that it's at least a little quieter than the last few months 🌞🌝

Speaking of New Year's, have you thought about your 「New Year's Resolutions」? 

What are resolutions? From Cambridge's English Dictionary, a resolution   (新年の抱負) is simply a promise or decision to yourself that you will or will not do something.

There are many types of resolutions that people make each year - better health, weight-loss, job-hunting, new projects, etc. Every year, I always make a small list of what I want to do, "This year, I won't eat junk food, I'll get more exercise in, I'll read more books, I'll..." and so on.

To be honest, I have never fully finished my list of resolutions. So, this is my resolution: I want to be able to say "I've completed everything on my list!" by the end of 2021!

No matter how small or how big your goal is, it's important to give yourself something to aim for. 

Would you like to try this year? Write your resolutions down, and check back in next year to see what you were able to accomplish!
