You know what I just figured out? 26 times 2 is 52. Riveting, I know. But math has never been my strong suit. You’re probably wondering, why do I care Kim? Well there are 52 weeks in a year. And I am currently 26. And if you’re into doing more math, 52 is divisible by 13, which is Taylor Swift’s favorite number. I am focusing on those three numbers this year. A lot of my goals this year have to do with these numbers. When you think about 52 weeks, it honestly does not seem like a long time. But 2021 felt like it was 10 years long! So who’s to say? All I know is that giving a numerical value to a goal will help you achieve it (so they say). And I really like crossing things off a to-do list. So here are my 2022 resolutions and goals.
I’m looking at the list below more as a list of “goals”. I work well when I have a “to-do” list so I like making lists. Check out my 101 Things list while you’re at it!
New Year’s Goals
- read 52 books
- go on 26 dates
- make 52 blog posts (so 1 a week at least)
- develop 13 disposable/film cameras (an expensive hobby but a good one)
- run 26 miles in races (I’m already signed up for a 10 miler and half marathon)
- clean out 52 items from my closet (26 in January, 26 in July)
- clean out 52 items I don’t need in my apartment (26 in January, 26 in July)
- sew 13 items by myself
- go to 26 restaurants I’ve never been to before
- do 13 photoshoots where I step out of my comfort zone
I can’t put every goal I have into a numerical value. But there are still resolutions I want to mention. I don’t want to put too much pressure on myself, but I look forward to achieving things and crossing things off a list. (I am an Ennegram 3, if you couldn’t tell). This blog post has quickly turned into a “oh! I need to do this, and this and this…”. But I’m trying hard to differentiate between “need to do” and “want to do”. My therapist says I have a problem with doing things because I feel like I should and not because I want to. So below are the things I want to do for myself this year.
New Year’s Resolutions
I want to eat more green foods. I want to go on more walks. I want to not be on my phone as much. I want to stop this war I have with my body. I want to dress up more when I leave the house. I want to drink more celery juice and water. I want to be good about taking my vitamins. I want to write in my “one line a day” book again. I want to shop more locally. I want to listen to new artists. I want to take more fashion risks. I want to write more. I want to shop less. I want to visit places I’ve never been before. I want to be more sustainable. I want to be kinder to myself. I want to cut myself some slack.
Here is a mood board I made on Pinterest for 2022!
