So I wasn't able to achieve all of my 2021 resolutions... and I kinda expected that. My intention was not to check as many boxes as I can from that list. It was to just get myself moving closer towards my bigger goals and with that, I can proudly say that I've succeeded!
My 2021 resolutions were
1. Graduate with at least 3.5 CGPA
2. Build micro habit system
3. Upload more kpop covers that I did in 2019
4. Rebuild that emergency fund
5. Upload a blog post at least once a month
The only goals I didn't achieve were those which were no longer my top priorities as much as I thought it was.
Sure, I love to have myself upload a post here every month. Trust me, I did draft something each month. But I guess, there's just other things I wished to spend more time on than writing a post for the sake of it.
A lot of things happened and I kinda lost touch from them since I didn't record the events at all. Well, to me, that is somewhat a good sign because I used to write when things get tough to vent out my frustrations. So when I write less, it also means that I am less stressed.
All in all, I'm truly happy this year. My life received so many intangible blessings and intrinsic satisfaction. I learnt a lot about myself. I achieved so much within my own capacity that matters a lot to me alone. It just felt good to be happy about yourself on your own. I kinda stop worrying wanting to show people what I can do and what they might think of it. Sometimes, I get proud of myself for doing things for myself. I just love that I am always my own priority, as selfish as that sounds oops.
But it's true. My ultimate goals won't matter if I'm NOT doing those for myself.
So to end the year, here are my 2022 resolutions that I'm not putting much thought on in listing down because I already have the bigger picture in mind.
1. Finish 3 self-help books.
2. Invest RM5000 in total.
3. Limit my spending to lesser than RM600 per month.
4. Reach 3500 skips a day.
5. Be more generous with friends and family.
6. Complete a Javascript course.
7. Complete a Laravel framework project tutorial.
8. Fast every Monday and Thursday for 6 months (excluding Ramadhan month).
I do have more smaller goals but I'm putting the hard or almost impossible ones here so that I am more keen in pushing myself further.
It might seem a lot to focus on in that list, but I've actually been partly doing all of those in my life already. I'm just enhancing what I've already been doing so that I could stick with it longer to reap more benefits in the future.
I'm so excited for the upcoming year. I'm saving so much for a travel trip and hoping I could save the amount I expected by the end of 2022. Pray for me!
On an ending note, I pray that everyone reading this have an amazing and blessed year ahead! InsyaAllah~
Dropping by,
Melynn.
