It’s that time of the year again, a time to reflect and look forward.
Something I sometimes dread, but this time I’m feeling very cliche, New Year, New Me. 2022 will be my year and all those other corny new years sayings. I felt like there is some kind of refresh or reset button waiting for me at midnight on December 31st, which obviously was crazy to think. But I’m ready for this reset and 2022 feels like it for me.
To reflect, in 2021, I started a new job at a Cannabis Marketing Agency, I was promoted pretty quickly and now am looking forward to some more career moves in 2022 as our company and team continue to grow.
I established a workout routine with my sister, we have a schedule set and go to planet fitness 3-4 times a week, our goal was mostly for Aruba but we have since kept it up at the gym after getting back from our trip.
And I became more comfortable in my stomach diagnosis of gastroparesis and actually finding better alternatives and solutions to eating and not feeling sick 100% of the time.
2022 Goals
- Read 25 Books this year
- Find the comfort in alone time outside of the house (dinner, gym, coffee shop, shopping, etc.)
- Pay off more of my credit card debt
- Start seriously looking into buying a house in 2023 (evaluate savings, mortgage rates, etc)
- Dedicate time to a new hobby (and actually follow through with it) lol
- Spend less money on material things that I don’t NEED
- Actually put myself out there more, be more open to the idea of a relationship
- One a month reach out to at least 1-2 friends I haven’t seen a while and connect/checkin
- Go on more trips across Michigan this summer
- A big promotion at work
I’m ready to kick this year’s ass, it’s all about personal and professional growth. Being able to love myself so others can see my great qualities and potential. Finding joy and pleasures in the little things in life.
