The last time I posted an entry to this blog was July 5, 2021. It’s now June 4, 2022, and I’m posting my goals mid-year. I’ve had an urge to begin blogging again, but I’ve set my mind to it before and have never been able to commit. At least for now, I will post my 2022 goals. For a long time, I’ve struggled against having goals because I was focusing too much on trying to survive and be a full-time working mom. What did goals really matter in the end anyway? The days of reading 500+ books in a year and attending conferences were no longer a thing.

But why can’t I bring them back in a revised fashion?

A few things from my 2020 goals (since I didn’t post goals for 2021):

1. Read 6 full books for the year.
2. Exercise 1x per week for at least 10 minutes.
3. Meditate 3 days per week.
4. Eat 1500 calories or fewer 2x per week.
5. Blog or journal 3 days per week.
6. Morning devotions (Bible reading & prayer) 1x per week.
7. Duolingo: 4x per week for at least 15 minutes.
8. Go to church 4 times this year.
9. Visit New York 4 times this year.
10. Self-care once per month.

Updated 2022 goals (ambitious for only 6 months left!):

1. Read 1 book in its entirety this year. (And I’m making sure that’s The Doctor by C.S. Poe.)
2. Exercise 3-4x per week for 15 minutes or more. (Currently doing LIIFT4 on Beachbody on Demand and looking forward to LIIFT More in August!)
3. Pray 3-4x per week before exercising.
4. Track my nutrition on MyFitness Pal and BOD tracking (Portion Fix).
5. Blog 1x per week. (Let’s see if this is attainable!)
6. Journal at least 1x per week. (Stuff you’ll never see. Muahahaha.)
7. Go to church 2x per month. (I attend a new church!)
8. Schedule 2 massages for the rest of the year.
9. Do the best that I can at the job I have. (This is a vague, nonmeasurable goal, I know.)
10. Learn to be as productive as I can from other women who are inspiring. (This is also a vague, nonmeasurable goal, but it’s here.)

Here they are. Let’s see what happens by January 2023.
