It's taken me a little longer to think of what I wanted to accomplish in 2022. I didn't want to start by making resolutions that I would have forgotten about or given up on by Spring.
So I'm loving the Fashion Mumblr right now and in her "Setting My Intentions For 2022" video, she mentions a podcast she had listened to where the person was talking about setting seasonal intentions/goals for the year as opposed to trying to set them for the whole. A little less daunting don't you think? So as I waiting for my coffee to finish brewing this morning, I thought I'd start to write some down to get me started. Here we go:
Taking better care of myself - physically and emotionally. I suffer from chronic depression and not taking the time for self care has started to take its toll. I need to make the time for exercise, journalling, meditation, basically anything that will be nourishing to my body and soul. I love my Peloton but I've been neglecting it as of late and I need to get back into it. I also really enjoy taking a break from the workday and going for a quick walk outside. The fresh air always makes me feel so much better.
Growing and having fun with my new blog. As I mentioned in my first post, this is my second attempt and I want to have fun with it this time around. I didn't realize the time and effort it took to keep up with it. This time around I've thought about so many things I'd like to share, I've even thought about doing some fun posts for the next holiday season! I know, I know we literally JUST wrapped one up! I've had some serious inspiration from some bloggers I follow and I can't wait to research and get to writing!! (I'll share who they are in another post).
Finding my calling, my purpose. This one may take some time but I'm committed to figuring that out. Part of the reason for neglecting myself is because I feel as if I'm meant to be doing something greater, being someone greater. I guess you can say it's a bit of an existential dilemma I've been experiencing these last few years but I've only just started to address it...Great segue into the next one...
Being more intentional. I know that sounds cliche and I really hate to hear that phrase in a business setting but I feel as though it could apply to life in general. Many times I go through the motions of doing things just because and often times there is no real meaning or purpose to them. I would like to be more mindful of what I put my energy towards this year.
Being a better role model to my girls. I have an 8 and a 12 year old and I'm not sure I'm being the best mom I can be to them. I'm sure a lot of this is in my head but I always feel like I can be doing more than I am.
Wow, reading these over makes me feel happy, I have a plan and high hopes for this year, more than any other year I think. I would love to end it knowing that I did my absolute best to honor my intentions and to end the year a little better than I started.
