Everyone needs a break, especially from oneself. If you observe, from the moment you wake up to the time you go to sleep you attend to your habits of what you do, how you behave, what you eat, how you sit,….This is dependent not only on yourself but also your surroundings, you behave differently when at home, at office, on vacation…you behave differently when around different people…But a combination of all these varying habits is what you term as “I” which is not a constant, it keeps changing as per situations.
In Accounting, Zero–based budgeting (ZBB) is a budgeting method that requires all expenses to be justified and approved in each new budget period – wherein you make forecasts based on absolutely zero past overhangs – this provides a perspective of the future possibilities without the limitations of the past/legacy. Similarly, you need to do a zero base budgeting for your own life to disconnect from your past and think of where you want to use the energies that you have been granted for the remainder of your life. If you like the possibilities that this exercise throws up, then choose one that resonates best with your wisdom and work towards it one day at a time and have the acceptance to forgo all the other possibilities that cannot be accommodated in your plan….
