A little tradition of mine is writing a blog post of My goals for 2022; even if no one reads them. I like to look back at them and see what I have achieved. 2021 has been a living hell for me; I can’t describe it as anything else. After a year of hell I have a different outlook on life; it can be taken away so easily or even completely changed in a split second. Throughout the year I haven’t wanted to survive, I haven’t wanted to be on this cruel Earth but I am doing my best for Elara. To be present for her and give her the best life possible. Here are my goals for 2022:

FAMILY TIME

There is nothing, absolutely nothing, more important to me than my family. Mike, Elara and Emmie are my universe. I cannot describe the hurt that I feel that Emmie isn’t with us. It’s indescribable. I need family time so much right now and want to make more memories with Mike and Elara.

travel

I didn’t add this in last year as I had a feeling that COVID would still be around and preventing us. I would love to get back to travelling and seeing more of the world. Elara is now 3 and hasn’t been on a plane yet so I would love to take her on a plane this year. We also love travelling within the UK so short breaks or nights away would be lovely too. We did a little bit of travelling in 2021 and Elara loved it and still talks about our holidays a lot months later.

blog full time

I absolutely love blogging and creating content and I’m manifesting that 2022 will be the year I go full time with my blog and socials. In 2021 my blog started gaining traffic that I had never seen before in my life. One day I even got 12,000 page views, in ONE DAY! The plan is just to continue enjoying it and see where it takes me. Today marks 12 years of blogging which is just insane. I have gone through 3 name changes, a wordpress transfer and a mass accidental delete but I’m still here and still loving it. You can go all the way back to 2016 on here which is even pre-Mike lol.

be consistent

This is something I have always struggled with. Consistency. Having autism and what I believe to be ADHD keeps me jumping from one task to another. Constantly switching up hobbies and focussing on one thing for a couple of weeks and then never touching it again. It’s a battle from within to keep the consistency for me and I’m hoping 2022 is the year I can keep blog posts coming each week and posting to Instagram Monday to Friday.

read more

Forever a goal of mine. In 2021 I only read 3 books. To be fair I did spend almost half of the year bed bound or in a wheel chair so I forgive myself but this year I am challenging myself to read 22 books for the year 2022. If you want to follow along with what I read as I’m reading it you can add me as a friend on Goodreads.

And that’s where I think I should end for my goals for 2022 before I add something wild. What are your goals for 2022? You can find my goals for 2021 here. Each has written some great 2022 Resolutions here that you should check out too and an amazing survival guide for 2022.
