In Progress. So far:
Put significant effort into a significant romantic relationship. Maybe it’s a couple months, maybe it’s longer, it could even be shorter. I’ve found that in 2023, my romantic relationships, while painful, have been life-giving and something I am excited to put effort into moving forward
Be okay with losing at sports. I can be a hyper-competitive person on a field. When I lose, I can become sulky. I try not to take it out on others but unfortunately have found myself quicker to anger/resentment on the field. I take a lot of pride in my athletic abilities, especially despite my physical stature, and when I’m let down by myself or others, I get frustrated, which, in a meta way, frustrates me. I don’t want to lose at sports, but I will challenge myself to be better at losing when I do.
Look better. It’s a combination of being insecure of my weight and appearance, combined with a desire to take advantage of my physical peak during the lifestage that that is possible.
Feel more. I think this one’s easier. I want to add a “feels wheel” on my door such that, everytime I leave my apartment, I consciously take stock of how I’m feeling.
Earn a promotion and raise. I was actually more intentional about my wording in this one. I don’t want to be given a promotion. I want to feel the accomplishment in earning a promotion, by succeeding at what I do. I’ve lied to myself about taking my career seriously for, frankly, a lot of my career. I don’t need to be an Executive, but I want to take the next step. That being said, I’m okay letting this one go if other priorities take precedent and more time/effort/energy than I expected.
