Goals for 2023
It’s the last day of 2022 and it’s been a pretty good year. Sadly, towards the end of the year, we said goodbye to a few friends, but we were lucky to be otherwise happy and healthy. This post isn’t about looking back though, it’s about looking ahead, and my goals for 2023. I am bringing many of my goals from 2022 into this year because I wasn’t great at them. I’m also leaving my reading goals for a separate post which will go up on 14th January 2023.
Check out my blog posts from 2022 here
Word of the Year
For the first time I’ve decided to have a “Word of the Year” and my word for 2023 is “Cleanse”. I decided on “cleanse” because it encompasses the majority, if not all, of my goals and what I want to focus on this year. Through my word of the year, I intend to live my life how I want to. Cleanse out all the toxic shit and be me. For example if I want to get a tattoo (and it’s within my budget) I’m getting a tattoo. This is why at the time this post went live, I am sitting and having my hair dyed blue.
Take Time for Self-Care
I wasn’t too bad at this in the last year but I feel like this is a continuous goal. I also want to do more things that make me happy, like dyeing my hair etc. I might set a day aside each week to do facemasks and things.
Clear the Attic
This is not a goal I “want” to do this is a goal I HAVE to do. I have been saying for years that I am going to go through all of my stuff but now it’s ridiculous. As part of cleansing the house, it definitely needs a good clearing out.
Budget Better
This is the biggest goal for me. I want to save hard this year but I know my terrible willpower. Rather than saying I’m not going to buy anything for myself, I plan to give myself a monthly budget, pocket money if you will, and anything I want comes out of that. Plus if I don’t spend my full budget then I don’t need to take the full amount out the next month. Who knows, if it works, I might have a post next year about how I did it and how it worked.
Work on the Blog
Finally, I want to work on my blog. I have lots of older posts to go through and update. I want to replace photos, do some rewrites and fix some links. Plus, I would like to have a few posts scheduled in advance so if I need to take a break? I have content to fall back on!
I hope 2023 is going to be a great year for us and for you all. I also hope that I am better at my goals this year than I was in 2022. We can only wait and see.
