23 wishes for 2023

Disclaimer: This blog post is more journal entry style and hasn’t been edited *too* much, so it might be a bit choppy and have a few errors because: 

1). Remembering I’m not alone  - I created this space in the hope that my words would somehow be relatable or inspire others. I believe that when we are transparent and raw, the Universe connects us with who we are mean to connect with.

2) For now, this feels right - I have barely posted to this space because I am a perfectionist. For now, it’s a place to just be completely raw and unedited, authentically me.

 

2022 was my most magical year yet. The biggest takeaway from last year was that our dreams can become reality if we let them. I went from being depressed, anxious and burnout to creating my dream life. I got engaged, landed my dream job, stopped binge eating, traveled to 3 different countries, found the perfect apartment and so much more.

Not everything you want might come true and that is okay. What is meant for us will be but shoot for the moon and land on the stars, things will happen that you didn’t believe were possible.

Note, I know this isn’t the exact same as the picture, tweaked it since then to match what I was feeling most deeply.

It’s easy to be motivated at the beginning of the year but how do you keep momentum? For me, it’s breaking these goals out into weekly, monthly, and quarterly action steps. As well as, finding a bestie to do it with and each month set a cute date to check-in on your lists, see you progress, and figure out what is needed to make your wishes come true.
