# 6 beautiful skills I want to celebrate in 2025

In 40 years of my life experience, I've made many resolutions just to be broken after a few months. So finally, I have outgrown these habits and concluded that God has made every human being with special skills. We just need to observe them within and keep refining them to celebrate in 2025.

## The last call of the year gave interesting insights

Our A-team conversations are always fun and give an insight into our personalities. Thinking about our qualities and doing a reality check has become a brain exercise. There's clarity on many skills we want to dump and which ones we can take forward to enjoy 2025.

## Detach from negativity to focus on productivity

This has been an ongoing practice through the years. Sometimes, I can rule over negative emotions and find solace in things I like. But many times, I fall prey to this toxicity and lose my calm. So, the fight is on, and I intend to become better at it.

This process takes a lot of energy that could be put into productivity otherwise. But, I have my hacks. Morning walks bring magic to my days. I need to go out in the morning to start my day correctly. Similarly, I feel uncomfortable if I don't attend my dance classes weekly. More than a form of exercise it has become a path to explore other human beings and observe their life journeys.

## Write more on paper than gadgets

During one of our calls, I heard writing on paper is easier than on gadgets. And, it was exactly how I felt. When I write my blog notes on paper, my thoughts are clearer and my blog captures my emotions transparently. Or if put better, ideas find their own stories when flowing over paper rather than finding alphabets on the keyboard.

This year, I want to write more than typing. This gives me the chance to check my stationery and take out new diaries! Recently, I avoided using paper because I feel guilty about consuming too many natural resources used in making one diary. But, with sustainable stationery, I feel happy to restart.

## Concentrating on finishing one thing at a time

This is one of my serious agendas to accomplish this year. There are many tasks running through my head at a time, basically the to-do list for that particular time. But my worst habit is to dodge between the tasks and not concentrate on one task to finish first. Like if I am making a dish and the flame is on, instead of swirling the curry, I will start searching for some masala because I am standing near that drawer.

Similarly, while writing a document, suddenly I would pick up a pen and start arranging it in another penstand.

Irritating na? Seriously, this is a major skill to uplevel.

## To Grow as a classical dancer

I have been learning Bharatanatyam for 4 years now. A sort of emotional connection is created. It is a proud moment to continue practising along with my other responsibilities. But, I guess, every routine brings you to a point when you doubt your priorities. One such day, I asked myself am I doing justice to the art.

And just then, a lady asked me, "Are you a classical dancer?"

Instantly, I knew God had answered my query telling me never to question my love for dance.

That lady is my mother-in-law's friend and we occasionally greet each other during our morning walks. But that day she purposely stopped and talked. It was His signal for me to grow as a classical dancer.

## Cooking and serving more and more food with love

Cooking is not a duty but a habit which I acquired, don't know when. I have seen my mother and mom-in-law cooking and it came naturally to me ki khana to ghar ka hi achcha hota hai. Then came a phase when my mother-in-law strongly believed in opening a restaurant or putting a stall in food exhibitions.

I remember a time, I was [fed up with going to the kitchen](https://thoughtsbygeethica.com/2023/06/interesting-facts-about-geethica/) or looking for recipes to cook better/differently. When my kids would ask me khane mein kya hai, I would be fueled with anger. And one fine day, there was an exchange of emotion within myself and I realised I was missing one ingredient from all my recipes - love!

Since that day, a thought has stuck in my mind and soul that the least we can help someone to be happy is to serve food with love. People can be busy all day but at one point they will feel hungry. They realize if you need to work hard, you need to energise and food is the fuel for your body.

I feel a sense of contentment when I serve the favourite dishes of others and they like it too. As if I have touched their souls.

## Ignoring his bad habits to celebrate in 2025

Husbands are made of the wrong composition of atoms and molecules. Their genes are just the replica of their habits that irritate their wives to the core. In early marriage, you decide to change the bad habits of your husband then gradually, you learn that working on your husband is only a waste of time and energy. You will never succeed.

So, the only solution to keep you sane is to *ignore him*. Easy way to celebrate in 2025.

With maturity in marriage, you will find it's best to avoid arguments about things you can't change. After all, habits do irritate but if you want things your way, keep your cool.

Well, to remind my readers that this post is not a husband rant post but beautiful skills I want to celebrate in 2025.

So have you evaluated your personality yet?
