2023 Goals
In 2022 I focused on four key pillars they were fitness, finance, freelance, and friends. I found that prioritizing different elements of my life helped me to have a successful year after two years of struggling through burn out. While I have not reached the end point of each of these goals, for example, I am not ready to retire and I am not able to fully support myself on my freelance work alone, I made great progress towards these goals in 2022. I was also able to recover enough to feel encouraged to create meaningful goals in the form of a list of 23 things to do in 2023.
This month, I visualized research on New Year’s resolutions and how many people keep them. I found it interesting that women are slightly more likely to set New Year’s Resolutions and that the top 3 resolution categories were Health, Self Improvement, and Money. While New Years isn’t the only time that you can set meaningful goals it can feel like a good time to re-establish your priorities.
In the past I have done for example a list of 19 things that I wanted to do in 2019 and that year I completed 14 out of the 19 items these are everything from nagging tasks that I want to feel better about completing to bucket, list, items, and general life refocusing efforts.
While I am looking to continue prioritizing fitness, finance, freelance, and friends in 2023, I have written out a clear set of goals to check off as the year goes on. I want to prioritize a better work life balance than I did in 2023 and enjoy my life a little bit more even if it means making slightly less money my word for 2023 because of that is to be intentional I want to be intentional about how I spend my time who I spend my time with how I feel my body and how I move my body in this world I’ve learned a lot in my 25 years so far and I’m excited to see what 2023 brings!
