Personal | What I'm focusing on this year.
Resolutions aren’t my jam. I like setting intensions and clear goals. A vision board, a list of ideas and endless random notes.
Similar to a journal – I believe in manifesting things. Setting realistic mildstones that I can reach.
At the beginning of the year, I have found that I look back on the year before. What do I want to experience again? How do I want to feel? How do I NOT want to feel again?
Grow with intension.
Here are a few things, I’m pointing towards in 2022.
Saying YES more.
Saying YES to more fun things. Experiences. Adventures. Joy.
It’s really that simple. Making myself available to do more positive uplifting things. Moments that bring me joy.
Saying NO.
I really hope you are smiling or laughing. If you read the above…you should be questioning my writing a bit.
Saying NO more – means, setting boundaries. It also means to not over extend myself – saying yes to so many things can leave me dangling by a string and not feeling fully myself.
Saying NO is perfectly fine.
I remember saying no to a hike (which I love) but I really just needed to regroup in my mind.
Cutting off toxic relationships.
This is something that I have already started to do. Last year, was a big one for me.
I ask myself “what am I getting out of this?” and “what am I putting into it?” and, “is it worth it?” and finally “does it allign with my values and does it bring me up?”
And when I write about ‘relationships’ it’s not all about relationships with humans. It’s relationships with things that trigger me – could be food, alcohol, toxic activities – so much more than just humans.
“Make yourself unavailable for anything that isn’t in alighment with your next level” Female Empowerment
Being more in the present. Calming my mind.
I had this conversation with my hair stylist the other day.
While she was washing my hair, I was thinking of all the ‘things’ I needed to do. Really – I didn’t need to do any of them. AND WHY WAS I not enjoying the shampoo and scalp rub and just thinking about the next thing.
Go out to that lunch. Do the unexpected. Cancel your plans in your mind and do one thing really well and enjoy it.
I have felt guilty in the past, because I have this ‘plan’ of how my day is going to go and then when something comes up, I used to get flustered and I couldn’t easily accomodate to my new schedule. NOW – changing and calming my mind has helped me with accepting it.
That’s it for my 2022 intensions. I am really excited for this year ahead. I know big changes, challenges and FUN is ahead.
What are yours? I’d love to hear.
