January 10, 2022
Have you taken some time in the past week to REFLECT on 2021? If you pause to look back on what you accomplished or how you’ve grown, then it’s easier to look forward and set an intention or goals for 2022.
Try this simple yet powerful exercise!
Write down 3 things that:
1) went well for you
2) you are proud of
3) you are grateful for
4) are still important to you
Then choose a word or mantra for 2022. Think of something that matches your core values. Your personal hopes and beliefs have a lot more to do with you succeeding with your goals than you may realize. It could take you all month to brainstorm and that’s okay. Some ideas are: Thoughtful, Accountable, Mindful, Optimistic, Ethical, Healthy, Calm, Active, Forgiving, Loyal, Reliable, and Efficient.
You’ll be surprised how focusing on one theme will help you move forward. Visualize yourself taking small steps to encompass your intention. We hope as you reminisce on the year behind you that you will feel empowered to look forward to the exciting opportunities that await you in the year ahead!
