i don't know about you, but i'm feeling 22

Hi all,

Okay, I'm just gonna say it. I’m jealous of the 2000 babies! They’ll be feelin 22 in 2022. How catchy, how memorable! That’s a good omen for all of you 22 year olds or soon to be.

Anyways, how are we all feeling after last year? That was weird right? Like, collectively weird? I could be projecting, but alas, let’s not go down the rabbit hole. Today we start anew, baby! Everyone knows that the REAL New Year starts on the first Monday of the year. So, how’re you faring today?

If you’re sick, down, or not feeling great right now - that is okay. And if you are feeling amazing, motivated, ready to take on the year - also okay! Basically, what I’m trying to say is that whatever you are feeling right now and about 2022 in general is 100% valid.

The only thing I ask of you is to set an intention for the year. Take a minute and really think of how you want this year to feel. Now create a mantra based on this intention and let it guide you throughout the year, even when unforeseen challenges and changes arrive.

My intention for the year is to be more open, and my mantra is “courage over comfort” (thanks Brene Brown!). I want to break out of my shell more and invite adventure, growth, and opportunities in my life. Maybe this sounds silly or dorky, but you know what? I don’t care! It's helpful to me. “Courage over comfort” is something I will turn to when I’m choosing whether to stay in or go out, workout or lounge around, or say yes or no to a new opportunity. So that is what I am working with this year.

I would love to hear what your intention and mantra is for the New Year. Feel free to write back or connect on socials :)

Talk soon,
Emily
