As I begin to change gears from focusing on all the end of the year festivities to focusing on the year ahead, I have learned there is great knowledge in looking back and remembering the previous year. Its my way of saying goodbye 2021 while still embracing memories and lessons learned.
Before turning the page to 2022 lets take a minute to take stock of what challenges we faced this year. What did they teach us about ourselves, our loved ones, our community? How can these lessons help us as we move forward? Let's reflect on which ideas, habits, and relationships held us back this year. How can we lesson their presence in our daily lives, or let them go completely. In addition, what ideas lessons, and relationships moved us forward, giving us a better view of life and ourselves? How do we increase their presence in our lives or make changes to keep moving in this positive direction? (actually take a minute to think on this) Now let's look ahead to 2022! Like of many others I look for a theme to claim for the upcoming year. "It's all ln new 2022!" or "Be a better you in 2022!" Would love to know your thoughts. I think most of us tend to create a list of New Years Resolutions. To be completely honest, I succeed at some of mine and fail at others. But I have learned over the years that it's okay! The growth in my successes far out weights my failures. With that in mind, it is time to start my list for 2022. Go ahead...jot down some goals for the year ahead. This doesn't have to be complicated. There are plenty of resolutions that seem super small but can have a big impact on your life. When it comes to setting goals there are a some key strategies that can be helpful. first, Identify your goal. Second, break it down into the exact steps you are going to take in order to achieve that goal. Next, plan for what speed bumps you will encounter. For example, if your New Years Resolution is to start exercising in the mornings, identify what usually prevents this from happening. (getting children ready for school, bad weather, etc) Now decide what steps you can take to make this easier. Finally, track your progress, stay organized, and celebrate the wins along the way! One day of success is better than not doing it at all!I'm committed to learning from the year past, embracing grace for myself and others, and celebrating small successes in 2022. Join me!!
