rsadelleI don't know how anything is going to go this year. I have accepted that making predictions about the future is not productive. However, I both thrive on structure and focus and love using my goals tracking spreadsheets and check-ins as a way to look back and see what the last time period looked like. (In reviewing my weekly check-in sheets for 2021, I was delighted to find that I used exclamation points after an item on the highlights list for that week more than once.) To that end, I'm keeping last year's intentions and adding one more that will apply at some point this year.
Writing. The perpetual goal. I know better than to predict what it will look like, but I do want to continue to do it on a regular basis in a fulfilling way.
Strengthen connections. This makes me so happy! Most of the highlights on my weekly check-in sheets are about connecting with people. Continue to prioritize relationships and time with friends and family and be open to new people. Continue to remember that texting is a thing.
Connect to God/the divine. At a minimum, I want to continue on with my partial Shabbat practice. I would love to find other ways that work for me to incorporate this into my life on a more everyday basis.
Be more weird. I still want to exercise my weirdness! The key thing to keep in mind is to just be myself without stifling my uniqueness and appreciation of fun/weirdness.
Feel my feelings. Feeling my feelings in the moment, as opposed to only recognizing them later, is still something I'm working on. I'm keeping this on my check-in spreadsheet so I keep it in mind and look for opportunities to focus on it.
Keep up with my life around a job. I have enough savings to be fine for a while, but I will have to get a job this year. There are a lot of things I've been able to do during the pandemic because I didn't have a job, and while I will have to make some choices about my time, there are a few things I want to hold on to, especially baking/cooking and continuing on with my Shabbat practice.
