At this time of year, we think about setting goals for next year. I don’t usually set specific resolutions and instead choose a word that is my guide for the year. I wrote a blog about this strategy last year. You can read that here.
My word for 2021 was Creativity.
I started the year doing some sewing but as the year progressed, I did more writing and some art related projects (including attempting to draw cartoons). In the latter part of the year, I became a more creative cook (although still not a very good one)!
Another aspect, perhaps the most important, involved being more creative in my thinking. Specifically, I tried to look at challenges differently, I tried to see alternative ways that I could approach my daily life and I sought inspiration from different sources.
I’m delighted with what I achieved. From starting a regular blogging habit, to creating a website, to designing a newsletter, to tapping into different reading material and new contacts for advice and encouragement.
Looking forward my word for 2022 is Belief.
I intend nurturing my self-belief, encouraging others to rise above self-doubt to believe in themselves and above all, I will hold the belief that anything is possible.
This time last year, I didn’t think that in 12 months I would have a website and almost 50 subscribers to my newsletter, which is called “Belief Building”.
But I have a website and with an additional 10 subscribers, I will hit my target number of subscribers for 2021.
This is a link to a sample newsletter which is hosted on my website. Future newsletters will be delivered by email and I intend to create one per month in 2022. Each will offer an inspirational story about someone who achieved something that may have seemed impossible, some advice on maintaining motivation and some quotes from encouraging people.
If you know anyone who would like to join me in Belief Building in 2022, please feel free to share this link to subscribe.
Happy New Belief Building!
