Resolutions for 2022
Another year has gone by and once again, I’m amazed to see how time flies when your life is falling apart.
All jokes aside, 2021 was one hell of a ride and I’m kinda glad it’s over. Pandemic, self-doubt, heartbreak, falling out with friends, anxiety and some more. I’m thankful for the lessons and the adventures but I’m very much still processing everything that went down. I’m a firm believer that you repeat what you don’t fix and every year I take my resolutions very seriously. For the last 7 years, I’ve written them down and tapped them to the inside of my wardrobe to keep them in sight all year long. I usually divide my resolutions into 3 sections: things I want to improve about myself, my objectives, and a travel bucket list. When January comes, I sit down with my previous list and evaluate how well I did. Everything I’ve acquired is good to go and everything I haven’t is brought onto the new year. I’ve had some of the same resolutions on my list for years and it’s okay, some things take more time to learn.
Resolutions
Have my own back; don’t do anything that feels wrong
Live in the moment and enjoy the present
Be honest about my feelings even when it hurts

Not everything I do should be profitable. Do things that I enjoy for the sake of feeling good
Focus on healing and thriving
Spend my money more wisely
Love for free. Invest in my friendships
Find a balanced routine

I usually conclude my resolution with some kind of motto for the year (positive affirmation if you will) and these past 3 years I’ve worked on my anxiety and ability to enjoy the present time, leading to the recurrent:
“Be happy with what you have while working for what you want.”
Since I'm a very visual person (and spend too much time on Pinterest anyway), I also like to create a vision board for the upcoming year. Hope you enjoy and feel free to share your resolutions for 2022 on Instagram or in the comment sections! May this year be ours ✨
