Hello 2023
As another year comes to a close and a new one begins, now's the perfect time to reflect on your highlights and successes from 2022, while also looking toward your goals for 2023.
What went well? What were some of your highlights and big wins?
Did you ask for a promotion or speak up in a meeting for the first time? Did you start an Etsy shop or spend the weekend exploring a nearby city by yourself? Did you enroll in a dance class or learn how to make pasta from scratch? Did you volunteer for an organization or start making monthly donations to your favorite charity?
Some of my highlights include: Redesigning my website; Starting my car with a tap of a screwdriver; Creating personal photo books for 2020 and 2021; Taking road trips to TX and CO to visit friends and family; Celebrating 9 years of marriage and 20 years with my spouse and my mom's 80th birthday; Swimming in the ocean; Daily stretching; Drinking more water; Being chosen once again as one of the top 20 professional organizers in Atlanta for 2022 by expertise.com.
Where do you want to focus your attention in the year to come?
Do you want to focus on improving your relationship with your spouse or improving your listening skills? Do you want to simplify your morning routine so you can get to work on time? Do you want to incorporate more vegetarian meals into your routine?
Some areas I plan to focus on include: Digitizing old photos; Trying Instagram; Writing 1500 words per day; Daily walks; Breathing more deeply and fully; Pausing before responding.
If you'd like to take things to the next level, a vision board is a visual reminder of what matters to you and where you want to focus. The image above is the vision board I created for 2022, which I displayed in a prominent place in my home and read almost daily. The images and messages fed my mind, body, and spirit with beauty, joy, calm, light, love, fun, strength, and inspiration and served as a reminder of how I wanted to show up for myself and others every day. I'm excited to create a new one for 2023!
Cheers to acknowledging, recognizing, and celebrating your successes from the past year and choosing how and what you want to focus on in the coming year. Wishing you peace, prosperity, and joy in 2023.
