This year flew by in the blink of an eye. Now, it’s time to set new goals for 2022. One of my new year’s resolutions last year was to blog twice a week and that did not happen. I did blog, but sparsely throughout the year. I always have high expectations for myself and that does more damage than good because as soon as my goals pile up, I easily burn myself out and give up.

So, this year I’m making a list of things I want to do more of and less of. This seems easier to manage, so let’s hope I achieve most of these things. Let me know in the comments down below if you have any resolutions for 2022!

More…

• loving kindness towards myself and others
• peace
• gratitude
• trust
• community
• writing for pleasure
• creativity
• dressing for myself
• language-learning (I really want to strengthen my Russian and learn Spanish)
• prayer
• home-cooked meals
• movement

Less…

• negative self-talk
• reacting
• self-pitying
• comparison
• relying on others
• fear
• scrolling (I already set a 30 minute time limit on Instagram and it’s been so helpful!)
