Ready, Set, Goals!

Reflecting on resolutions that stick takes time. Finally, I’m ready to declare my goals for 2022. How ready are you to jump in and join me? Let’s do this together!

Goal setting isn’t a one size fits all process and doesn’t magically happen at the stroke of midnight, as we ring in the new year. I’ve taken a whole week to contemplate mine for 2022.

For me, reflecting on the past year has been part of my journey in determining goals for the year ahead. While I can’t rewrite history, I can learn from it. Packing up 2021 is an important part of planning for 2022. I’ve decided rather than simply compiling a list of goals, I’m choosing a theme for 2022 that ignites all of them. First, I took time to review my proudest accomplishments of 2021, goals met and missed opportunities. Then, I spent time contemplating and journaling what my hopes and dreams were for the future. Throughout the year, I also create vision boards that inspire me to focus on what really matters. Combining ideas from my journals and vision boards help me clarify my purpose and set goals that will guide me on the right path.

My theme for 2022 is living an intentional life; leading with love, kindness and gratitude. My goals include renewing my commitment to prioritizing self-care and approaching each day not only as a gift, but a new adventure! I am an eternal optimist and will continue to try my best to turn obstacles into opportunities in the year ahead.

Now, it’s your turn! Are you ready to declare your goals and theme for 2022?
