Reflect, resolve, re-energise
Parents and guardians will not be keen on the result slips of the learners on holiday as most of them wasted time due to disruptions and abrupt school closures. Let them relax, rest and reconnect.
Relax in a home environment by carrying out positive hobbies that bring fulfillment. Do household chores that remove you from routine mode. Learn culinary skills from family and friends.
Rest is very important for mental health and will increase concentration as well as enhance metabolism. Get enough sleep, which enhances production of protective cytokines that build your immunity. Reconnect with family and friends for an exchange of diverse experiences. Sustain significant conversations with resourceful people and learn from them.
Out here, the devil roams, looking for a student to devour. Guard yourself with self-control for evil beckons at your innocence. Ward off the urge to showcase your wayward prowess or prove a point.
To manoeuvre the rough seas of peer influence, first know that malicious individuals will spare no effort to lure you into drug and substance abuse.
Once hooked, chances of recovery are slim and costly. Secondly, the holiday bears an illusion of deceitful freedom. Your parents and guardians’ advice may appear outmoded but contains gems of wisdom.
Thirdly, don’t indulge in hedonistic impulses prompted by rebellious peers. Unrestricted merry-making has tossed people into untold suffering or altered their life’s flight path into a deadly crash.
But you can reap maximum benefits if you approach the break differently. Reflect so that you hear yourself amid the din of the festivities. Domesticate any wild thoughts that inhibit critical thinking. Hold on to the good incidents and discard the bad.
Resolve to accommodate the powerful surge of anticipation for a new year. Re-energise to unleash your latent potential, vital to your career. Keep rejuvenating your passion and restore your mental energy to tackle a new term. Make realistic New Year resolutions to catapult you to the peak of your goals. BY DAILY NATION
