Songkran isn’t just water fights! 💦🔫
Songkran is the traditional Thai New Year, celebrated every year from April 13–15. But the meaning goes way deeper than just water fights👇 Songkran marks the transition into a new year based on the sun’s movement. It’s basically Thailand’s version of: - resetting your habits - letting go of the past - starting clean Before all the crazy street parties and raves (which I will attend tonight 😄), there are meaningful rituals behind it: - Pouring water over Buddha statues → symbolizes purification - Pouring scented water on elders’ hands → showing respect + asking for blessings - Visiting temples and making merit The way I see it... Everyone talks about “starting fresh” in January. But a lot of people already fell off by now. Songkran can be your second shot. A chance to let go of the baggage from the last 3 months. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I know only a few of us here are from Thailand / living in Thailand, but let's do this exercise together shall we??? 1. Reply with 1 habit that’s been holding you back 2. Reply with 1 non-negotiable (steps, protein, or workouts) And remember: for the rest of the year, you are "a dial", not an on/off switch‼️ Tell yourself that you won't need another reset. You just need to dial back and continue doing what you can. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ GO AHEAD AND SHARE, and have a SAFE SONGKRAN! ❤️🔥 📸: my parents first Songkran wet celebrations in Thailand 🇹🇭
