2022 word?

I am a list upon list upon list kind of person. I love goals and checklists and all the things. BUT something I've come to realize about myself is that I set pretty high expectations to reach those goals and then some pretty bad emotions that I surround myself with if they are not met or not met in the time that I feel like they should. In other words, I add stress to my life where it is unnecessary.

So this year I have decided against resolutions or a word or big expectations for myself. I am trying to adjust to my new chapter and that will require a whole lot of flexibility on my part and also accepting that I don't have to have an agenda every. single. day.

All that being said, one resolution I set in 2021 has really helped me feel more like me again. READING. I love to read! Over the last year, I have made myself read almost every day before bed (thanks to my Hatch Restore) and I have fallen back in love with it. What a perfect time as well, when I will have a little extra time to curl up with a book! I am putting together a list of books that I read and loved for a blog post this weekend, so stay tuned! I also asked about book recommendations on Instagram and got a lot of good ones that I will share as well! Oh, and before I forget to mention, check out your books new best friend below.
