Sara Tendulkar is carrying these lessons into 2025, says last year ‘has been full of growth’

• January: Give yourself the freedom to make mistakes and fail.
• February: Spend more time with the people and things that energise your soul.
• March: How you feel about yourself radiates outwards.
• April: There’s nothing wrong with asking for help when you need it.
• May: Your profession doesn’t have to be just one thing. You can be so many things in one lifetime.
• June: You do not have to follow up a ‘no’ with an excuse.
• July: Take care of your body, and your body will take care of you.
• August: Eating ‘right’ isn’t about restriction; it’s about nourishing your body with what it needs to thrive.
• September: If you’re thinking something nice about somebody, say it.
• October: It is okay to change your mind about things.
• November: Manifestation works.
• December: Growth happens outside your comfort zone. In order to grow, you have to be uncomfortable.

Srishti Vatsa, a counselling psychologist, weighed in on the importance of introspection and reflection. She emphasises the value of kindness toward oneself, embracing imperfections, and allowing space for mistakes.

“It starts with recognising the importance of being kind to yourself—acknowledging that mistakes and imperfections are natural,” says Vatsa. “Reflection isn’t just an annual exercise; it can be a daily practice. Journaling your thoughts, setting broader goals, and taking small steps toward them ensures sustained personal growth.”

She stresses listening to your body and finding balance in your goals: “Being in tune with your body’s needs and giving yourself grace can pave the way for immense growth.”

So, grab a pen, reflect on your journey, and step into the new year with purpose and clarity.
