Rewinding 2022

I know it is a little late to write about things I’ve done in 2022. It’s the ninth day of the year and I was still wondering what great things I’ve accomplished last year.?

It may not be the best one and nothing in comparison to other great achievements of people. But a few things that I have achieved has reshaped me to be a better version of myself.?

Starting with January 2022, my birth month. Nothing specific has to be so special to tell me it is an achievement. Because after all, living another year that was full of wonderful experiences is something to be thankful for.?

Moving forward to February 2022. It was a tough time as I was leaving my first job with a mere experience of three months. It wasn’t much but I learned a lot on that journey. Whether I talk about my knowledge regarding my work or how to treat people, there was a lot of learning there. February ended with my first job’s journey coming to an end.?

Talking about March. By the time I left my first job I did had a few options in hand but I didn’t get an offer letter from any of the places. When I came across two options at once, I decided to pick the one that responded early. This is where I made a mistake. If I wish to delete a month from my journey in 2022. I would wish it to be the month of March. Working in a toxic environment where everyone is the boss giving you orders is not the kind of experience I was ready to deal with in my early stages. But as they say, ek burayi mai bhi ek bhalayi chupi hoti hai. If it wasn’t for the worst experience of my life, I wouldn’t have valued what was next written for me.?

By the time March came to its end, I decided to quit that place and got an offer letter from the place I’m currently working at. And trust me when I say this, deciding to work at ExpertGRAD was the best decision I took in 2022.?

I joined ExpertGRAD on 5th April. I was blank to even think about what kind of people I will be interacting with. All I was hoping is not to get the same type I just left. And gladly the people I met, the lessons I learned, and the projects I get here are something I’m grateful for and will always be.?

The transformation I had from March to May is something I had never thought I’ll be able to achieve. From writing 1500-1800 words in a day, I straight went to writing 3000+ words per day, that too by wrapping up my work at the earliest with quality content.?

Then came June, and I achieved the smallest but the most important milestone of my life. I achieved my dream of becoming an independent woman. Whether I talk about spending money for my own expenses without asking for it from my family or finally enrol for a course and self-paying for that. These little moments made me think that I’m capable of doing whatever I want.?

By the time July came, I was in my best phase professionally. From interviewing a fellow co-worker for our company’s newsletter to getting the “Best team player award” in the same month, it was something that boosted my morale. I remember vividly, the day I was rewarded as the best team player a flashback came into my mind from my past working experiences where I was hardly mentioned as a team member. But what I achieved in the few months of the journey at ExpertGRAD is something that I will always wish to keep with myself.?

Jumping on August. It is my favourite month of the year because the month starts with my favourite human’s birthday. My mentor, guide, and best friend- my brother. Who at each step ensures that my every wish comes true, but that month, when for the first time I bought him the gift he wanted and I saw he was happy, that’s all I needed for that moment and that’s something that I need for the rest of my list. Making my brother proud.?

Unfolding the adventures of September, the month started when I did my first photoshoot for the brand Tatvik Ayurveda- an in-house brand of EG. That was the day and an opportunity that made me realise, it doesn’t matter if I’m fat, if I want to be a model, I have that career option for me as well.?

October was an unexpected one. The love I have for my family is the same as they share with me. At the start of the month I tried giving them some love in the form of gifts and by the end of the month I received an expensive gift from my family (which I think I still don’t deserve, but I’m greatly thankful for that.)?

The chilly breeze of November came with the experience of enjoying a food festival for the first time in my life. Even though it was an evening I was supposed to spend with my co-workers who has become great friends by then. That night I realised you hardly need anyone if you know how to enjoy yourself on your own.?

By the year coming to its end in December, a lot had started to change, yet with positivity and focusing on my personal goals and respecting my relations with my organisation, I bid bye to the year with people with whom I’d spent some amazing time.?

And now, as the first week of this new year has finished and I’m still wondering what I’ve achieved in the last year, it might not be something huge, but each learning of life has helped me realise a few things and they are

1. You are responsible for your own happiness and sometimes it is better to let go of the things that are causing you pain because the tighter you’ll hold them, the more painful it will be for you.?
2. No matter how many people will come and go in your life, your family is the one who will always remain constant.?
3. Lastly, in order to achieve your goals and dreams one day, you must stay consistent and work on both professional and personal work simultaneously.?

With the hopes of accomplishing many more new goals this year, and to still find happiness from the sad moments. Here I’m walking towards the next week of this month and year.?
