2022 Goals

What a year it has been! There have been a lot of highs and a lot of lows. Some of my most favorite memories and some memories I would like to never remember have come out of 2021. 

In the episode we reflect on the year we had and what we want to change for 2022. I have to admit that I walked into this recording not really knowing what goals I wanted to set for 2022. And while I didn’t touch on everything - it really got me thinking about what are some real, tangible things I want to see differently in 2022? 

I can sometimes act like a martyr and say “Wo, is me - this is so hard/unfair/etc.” But when I look back on what it is I am complaining about - it is often something I can change. I can be overwhelmed about how full my mental load is. But did I delegate well? Did I debrief and hand off tasks appropriately? I can be really frustrated at the lack of communication with my team. But did I set clear expectations? 

What I hope that you get the opportunity to do either before the year starts or even in that first month of the year, is take a look at what you really hated or loathed about your year and set some goals/boundaries/expectations on how to not repeat for 2022. Take a look at where you WANT to be and set some clear steps and goals on how to get there. It is the best exercise to say goodbye to all that was hard and hello to new opportunities.

I love the start of a new year. It is like a reset. A do-over. It has so much promise and so much possibility. And I really love leaning into the unknown. The unknown of growth and where you will be in December. Embrace it! 

Cheers to an amazing 2022! 

XOXO,
