10 Personal Goals for 2022

The year 2022 is just around the corner, waiting for its turn to face the world. With that, have you listed your personal goals already?

Another year is about to come, another year of writing our own New Year's Resolution which we never keep. Not to mention, instead of writing another resolution for myself, I thought of listing goals that I want to achieve this 2022. I thought of a lot of things, but I just want to focus on 10 goals that I want to reach before the year ends.

Here are the 10 goals that I have in mind:

Improve Financial Management

As I try to reflect on the way I handle my money this year, I could say that a lot of lapses were going on especially on the expenses that I had. I never thought of saving more money, and just buying the things which I thought were needed, but they are just my wants alone. With that, I thought of reading more books about financial management or even watching videos that could help me grow into someone who's more disciplined in terms of the in and out of money in the wallet. I'll also find a financial advisor that could help me in this matter.

Wellness First

I realized this year that I need to prioritize my well-being, be it physically or mentally. I will not be able to move my limits if I'm not well and my mind is in chaos. With that, I'll start by taking care of myself first, like eating healthy food, drinking an adequate amount of water, sleeping early, and even doing regular exercise. Needless to say, my mental being will be well as long as I'm physically healthy. I'll also practice healthy habits, and prioritize my health above all.

Speak Up More

Just so you know, even though I write a lot of words here on the platform or even in Noise, in real life, I'm not the wordy type. I'm usually shy, so whenever there's a social event where we need to exchange ideas, I usually talk less. It's not that I have nothing to say, or no ideas to give, but I'm just afraid to speak up. That's actually what I want to improve next year. I want to speak up more, I want to conquer the fear I have in my heart.

Learn and Invest

I always wanted to learn the nitty-gritty of investing. I believe that a lot of books are available on the internet, and there are a lot of videos as well which explain how investing works. Above all, I also need a mentor to this one for me to fully understand what would be my next move.

Practice Time Management

Just so you know, I don't have an iron-out schedule, I'm prone to procrastination which I hate. Even though I can do the work now, I'll soak myself in entertainment stuff and just do the tasks in the eleventh hour. I feel bad about that as I could be more productive if it's not because of this habit. I'll surely work on this as I want to make the best out of my time.

Gain New Skills

I wanted to learn the art of carpentry. I want to craft stuff like cabinets, tables, and name a few. I also love watching videos about it and I find it easy, but I just lack the time to practice it at home. This coming 2022, I'll surely share some time to learn how to do carpentry, so that I will no longer pay for others to do crafts and I will just do it on my own.

Travel

Amidst pandemic, I still want to travel places that I want. I have a long list of places that I want to visit, but I don't have time to do it. So I set it as a goal that before the year 2022 ends, I will visit a place that I long to go to, a place which is not that far but I surely love to visit.

Be More Present

I am guilty of the fact that I'm not that present especially on the happenings that are going on around my circle. Not to mention, I guess the biggest thing you could give to anyone is the gift of being present no matter what the event is. The thought of connecting to the people and engaging with them means a lot already. But I will still work on that as this year I'm too focused on my work that I forgot to connect with the people around me.

Grow as a Writer

I am not a writer. If there's a description I would give to myself, that would be a frustrated writer. I believe that I still don't know the nitty-gritty of how to write, but I'm trying my best to learn about them and grow like the others. I want to improve myself in this field. I hope that I will be able to grow into a better writer before the year ends.

Reach One BCH or More

I may be new to the Read and Noise platform, but I have this goal in mind to reach one BCH. I know I still have a long way to go, but I don't lose hope. The goal may still look far, but I'll try my best to work on this goal. Nothing is impossible if you have the mindset of not giving up despite the challenges.

The goals that I have in mind may be a lot, but I look forward on making them come to life in year 2022. I presume I will encounter a lot of challenges in my journey towards them, but I'll continue to have faith and work on them. One day, I'll smile and say that "At last, I made it!"
