2022: Setting a Yearly Intention
Writing on my blog seems to be a quarterly task. Between all the craziness and change that happened in 2021, I came across a reoccurring situation in my life. I found myself at times feeling anxious when it came down to dealing with the confrontation of standing up for myself: friendships, relationships, my career, etc. These uncomfortable situations left me with unexpected blessings. Cliché of me to say but everything truly does happen for a reason. Every week for the last year, I would write down my goals and affirmations. For the past year, I have written the same affirmation down that I truly believe attracted the positivity in my life.
“I do not chase, I attract. What belongs to me, will simply find me.”
With the right headspace, prayers, and support in my life, I was able to buy my first car, rekindle friendships, fell in love, land a dream job, travel for the first time in over a year (#teampfizer). A lot of small victories that turned into a giant win. I am forever thankful for the outcome from the past year, considering the chaos that 2020 brought into our lives that will literally be written in history books (shoutout to covid-19 lol).
It was not an easy road to get to these high highs but there was a lot of work that was put into it. In the most recent months, I started therapy for the first time. Not for any particular reason, but there has been a lot of transitioning since post-grad that continuously hasn’t settled down just yet. I was curious and encouraged for a professional and outside perspective of assistance to navigate this next chapter of my life. As open of a book that I thought I was, I turned out to be more closed off than I expected. The positive outcomes in 2021 were all because of over-communication. This is something that I am still struggling with to this day but will continue to work on and claim as my intention for the year.
Instead of a new year’s resolution or goals for the year, my main focus that I would like to work on is over-communication. Whether this is at work, with my partner, roommates, relationships, etc. Being more open and sharing how I felt ended up helping me, versus hurting me at the end of the day. Life is too short to hold a grudge, be angry and someone you love, feel anxious for something that is under your control. I challenge you to set a yearly intention for yourself and have a monthly check-in if you have met your goal or if there’s something you could’ve done better. I wish you all a happy holiday and a prosperous new year. 💗
