We’re a few short hours away from the new year over here on the west coast. I don’t know if it’s just me but it doesn’t feel like the end of one year and the start of another. It feels like any other day. In light of the start of a new year and many of us setting intentions, I thought I’d share 2 tips to be successful in 2022.
2 Tips to be Successful in 2022
1. Be ok with going at your own pace
This is a toughie because goals and deadlines can be a good thing. It gives us something to work towards and we feel that sense of accomplishment when we reach the finish line. But on the flip side, it can also put unnecessary pressure to do things when it’s not the right time for you yet.
I’ve had many moments where I felt I needed to do something right away. I stress myself out because it’s not thought out properly. I feel much more at ease when I know I have a goal and I can work on it at my own pace. It might be slower than I want but it allows me to be more mindful about my actions.
2. Ditch unrealistic timelines
I’ll admit I am very guilty of this so this is a reminder to myself as much as it is to you. Again, there’s nothing wrong with goals and deadlines but putting some thought behind it helps.
Here are some things to think about:
- What do you want?
- Can you realistically accomplish it in x amount of time?
- Do you have what you need to accomplish this goal?
- Will the end result be the same if you extended your deadline?

I’m not super big on resolutions or NYE but I do plan on implementing the above to my life going forward. It’s easy to be caught up in the resolution-hype and begin planning these grand goals. I’m scaling it back a bit and taking things one step at a time. I have some big things I’d like to accomplish in 2022 and these tips will help keep me on track. I hope it does the same for you!
