Hi loves! How’s it going? It’s that time of year where we create our resolutions for 2022 and we do a little reflecting on the current year. I love doing this each year because it allows to look back and see where I’ve grown, what I didn’t go and where I want to head. I’m reading my resolutions from last year and seeing how different my goals are, but some are very much on plan. My biggest thing is to hold yourself accountable and celebrate the small wins along the way. We need to enjoy the ride of accomplishing our resolutions for 2022.

So First, Let’s Dig Into What I Learned In 2021:

  • People grow and our priorities are becoming different –> this is normal!
  • I want adventure and freedom from my 9-5. 
  • YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE! (Hence me jumping out of a plane)
  • My mental health is MORE important than any job, friendship, event, or trip. Prioritize YOU!
  • Physical health is just as important – focused more on my health and getting my body to where I want it to be.
  • Live your life the way you choose and are happy with. DO NOT FOLLOW TRENDS, OTHER PEOPLE, OR LISTEN TO ANYONE.

I’m at a point in my life where growing apart from others makes sense. Many of my friends have settled down and are starting families, I’m still at a point where I want to explore the world, attend events, and go out from time to time. This is okay! It’s normal to grow apart because our paths are on different points right now, doesn’t mean we aren’t friends or there for one another. Growth is okay and if you’re happy and your friend is happy there’s nothing wrong. Support one another. I did something I’ve always wanted to do and that’s jump out of a plane. 

My health is finally getting better and now I can manage my life and my diet. I learned how to manage having a thyroid issue and what foods help me maintain a healthy gut. I’ve worked out so much this year 169 days out of 365 at CrossFit Liger and that doesn’t count days I worked out at home or went out for a 3-mile walk. I finally got my groove with working out and I can’t wait to continue that into 2022.

Don’t listen to others about how or what you should be worrying about. ITS YOUR LIFE! LIVE IT YOUR WAY! People like to always give their input and it’s good to listen but don’t EVER feel the need to have your world fit their idea.

I can already feel my resolutions for 2022 in the works and my mentality is only to keep grinding and working towards these goals. We must fight for what we want, unfortunately it doesn’t appear in front of us. (We all can wish though.) Choose humanity over anything, at the end of the day it’s our team, not us against them. Be kind to others because you never know what value they can provide to you. Let’s all just go into 2022 with the mindset of peace, happiness, and equality.  Happy New Year’s to you all. I’m blessed with this community online and only wish you all the best this upcoming year. IT’S GOING TO BE OUR BEST YEAR YET!
