There are just 30 days left in 2022.
This entire year has sped by; it feels like it should still be May or June. I am focusing on spending this final month as intentionally as I can. This means slowing down, paying attention, and being mindful.
Somewhere on Instagram, I saw the suggestion to create a “To Feel” list. (I can’t remember where, unfortunately. I need to jot down more in my commonplace book.) I love this idea because it helps to clarify not just what we need to do, but how, or even if, we want to do it.
My “To Feel” list includes:
- Confidence
- Wonder and curiosity
- Delight
- Pride (in both my choices and accomplishments)
- A sense of safety and belonging
- Peace and groundedness
Now, I’ll backwards plan and prioritize decisions or events or opportunities that spark these feelings.
This process will be helpful going into the new year, too: centering your values, and assessing to what extent your current life overlaps with them, is a useful tool for goal-setting.
