Hello everyone!

As I have not formally written a blog post in 2022 I would like to start off by wishing you all a Happy New Year! I hope this year is filled with happiness, love and peace for all. I wish for everyone to find what brings them joy, prioritize both their physical and mental health and slow down when needed. It’s easy to always be hustling but taking time for yourself is truly where the inner growth occurs. With this in mind, I have done a lot of reflecting over the past few weeks about what I want my 2022 to look like. I am usually set on the typical resolutions of getting fit, eating healthy and achieving a professional goal. However, this year my resolutions are much bigger than that. They are feelings I want to achieve; intangible and broad. In deciding on this I have come up with two words that I will carry with me in all I do in 2022. These two words are wellness and abundance.

Wellness

For me, wellness is something that I try to get better at each day. I feel like I made a lot of progress in 2022, but there is more I want to do. 2022 is going to bring a lot of life changes as I am graduating from University. With this in mind, I want to ensure I am putting my mental and physical health at the top of my priority list as I finish my last semester and explore new techniques once I graduate. I want to incorporate more yoga and meditation into my week, journal every night and read books that are going to expand my thinking.

Abundance

Abundance could mean a lot of things, some might immediately think of material items. When I refer to the word ‘abundance’ to describe 2022 I mean in terms of experiences. I want to make everything I do an event, whether it be a dinner at home, a coffee in the afternoon or a movie night. I want to soak in the moments and feel all the feelings the activity brings. I want to be on my phone less and be present to experience the energy of those around me, hear the sounds of my surroundings and capture the memory in my mind. I feel that each year goes by quicker than the last, being so consumed by work and school, that when the moments to cherish come around I do not take the time to enjoy them. That is why abundance is one of my words and goals for the year. With this also comes some experiences I want to achieve; I want to travel more, try new cuisines, learn a new skill and open my mind to new things.

So there you have it, wellness and abundance are my words for 2022 and the mindset I wish to hold for the year. Although I like to keep my exact resolutions private, I hope this gave you some insight and possibly some inspiration into what you want your year to look like. There is truly no right or wrong answer. As long as your intentions are rooted in love and kindness for yourself and others there is no goal that cannot be achieved. Here is to a fabulous 2022 everyone!
