I saw a lot of Reels and Instagram posts at the beginning of the year about prioritizing rest and a slower pace of life in January, instead of spending the first month of 2024 trying to “start over” and reinvent. If I had my act together, I actually would have preferred the starting over—to finish all my goal setting in that week between Christmas and New Years so I could start off 2024 with a plan already in mind. But instead, my procrastinating self unintentionally took the Instagram girlie route, and I ended up spending most of January reflecting on what I want to accomplish in the new year.

I find myself feeling overwhelmed today. Suddenly it is a new year, and I don’t even know where to begin in deciding what I want out of 2023. It’s so unlike me, to have not already brainstormed a lengthy list of habits and goals that feel so promising yet probably won’t be achieved. It’s my MO—I’m very talented at dreaming but oftentimes less-so at doing. I reread my 2022 Plans and Goal Setting blog post, as well as last year’s recap… I laughed at some of the goals I set and completely forgot about. I felt a tinge of surprise and pride when I realized what goals I did accomplish. And I found myself wondering, have I outgrown the “awards-style” blog post I’ve published on past New Year’s Eves? What else did I outgrow in 2022?
