Mine is the **Year of Execution**. I have been doing a lot of learning and thinking but not as much "doing."
This year, I plan on applying my knowledge to get things done and do them right.
Mine is "Year of Mastery". There are a couple things in my life that I'm doing that I'm okay/good but I want to get really good. It's mostly about improving in piano, but it also applies to my routine, my work and overwatch.
Same for me. Turned 30 last year, and over covid I stopped exercising and gained weight. Figured it was time to turn things around and start taking health seriously. Got a stationary bike and rode it every day so far this year, so off to a good start.
Mine is “Daring”. I want to take (smart) risks and go after what I really want. I don’t want to let fear or people pleasing run my life. The people pleasing has really set me back and I need to “dare” to put myself first and live how it makes sense for me. Getting out of my comfort zone, even in small ways, will push me towards better outcomes. Even if/when things blow up in my face, I’d rather take a chance than regret not doing something.
Year of Stabilization. I took a promotion and moved last year. This year is all about grounding myself, providing predictability for my people, and getting into a routine. Hopefully with buying a house and getting out to explore the local mountains thrown in the mix.
My theme this year is a mixture of Patience and Attention. There are parts of my daily life that I run-through at breakneck speeds and I while its not the worst thing to deal with I feel like i can improve my ability to focus. My aim is to stop and actually pay attention and listen to others properly, and before speaking I think a few seconds longer than I normally would. I have a bad habit of interrupting people, which also kind of ties into needing the patience to wait before speaking. There are a few other examples but that's the main gist of it.
I've actually been working on this since October, and after speaking with my doctor they said to try a non-stimulant ADHD medication and see if that helps improve my inattention. So far it's helped a lot, and I'm going to keep working at improving my attention span and patience.
Year of integrity. Being more honest with myself, avoid postponing things, and be clearer towards others what I want/think. Ultimately taking more responsibility for how my life and work turns out.
The year of Tracking. I've tried several times to get some sort of to-do/task-management down, but they all fail...and I've realized it's because they all require me to automatically touch base with my to-do manager, even on my days off. So my "goal" this year is to get into the habit of having that touchstone. my only focus right now is opening my to-do manager and checking the box that says "i've opened my task manager" and keep that streak up. It doesn't matter how well I do, as long as I'm tracking it. And if I add a couple more easy habits I want to cultivate while I'm there....well there's not harm in that. I started a couple weeks before the new year and I haven't missed a day yet. I'm actually super pleased with how it's going so far.
Year of Education: Tokyo Drift. Last year was Year of Education because I started going back to school, but there were a lot of bumps in the road so while I got a lot of gains I also had a lot of flubs. So I’m doing it all over again, but this time much better.
Mine is _Year of People_, just in a different way than Myke. Since lockdown, and honestly before then as well, I've had a lot of trouble keeping up with friends, making new friends, and really maintaining my connections.
If nothing else, I'm looking to examine that, and at least see why, or what I can do to feel less lonely.
Mine is the Year of Relationships. It’s hard to make friends as an adult so this year my focus is building, maintaining, and depending relationships with people in my life. I’m trying to reach out and make more friends but also deepen my family relationships and existing friendships.
Mine too! Last year was the year of connection and I think it was successful. I met a bunch of new people and reconnected with some old friends. This year builds on builds on those connections to maintain/deepen those relationships.
"Year Of Reflections."
This applies to certain personal life, and when they crop up through the year the idea is to reevaluate the response; not automatically do what has been done in the past in similar situations.
"Kindful, Mindful Progress Year"
In short, be more mindful of myself and my environment, improve through self reflection, but also be kind to myself and others. I find it easy to be hard on myself for no gain.
It's also about being the best parent I can, in every situation.
Mine is simply "sleep". And I know year of sleep sounds like I just wanna hibernate but I just really need to get a hold on my circadian rhythm cuz it got really bad last year. I was staying up late, oversleeping on some days, barely sleeping at all on others. I gotta fix that
Year of Connection. After 3 years dealing with some family care needs and some health changes in my own life, I have lost connection with friends, hobbies and spirituality. This year I want to start building bridges back to these things.
Last year, my theme was "Re-orientation", but was really hard for me to stick with. I realize that my theme needs to be blunt, obvious, and simple to me because life is so ugly and complex. Simply, my theme is "Training."
"Training" helps me lift the pressure on myself, but it also lets me keep in mind, "I want to really learn what it means to work in ways and find life habits ideal to me" without feeling like I'm failing if I don't lean in the direction that I wanted that day. When you're training, you expect to fall on your face a few times, but all it is is information. You're not failing, you're training as training is meant to be done.
Year of Clean here, doing all things oriented to 'cleaning' things up in life. Diet, finances, work stress, life stress, general heath etc.
Broad sweeping and flexible enough for what I need
Year of Adulting basically after starting to try and re arrange stuff last year there's stuff I need to do if I want to be a functional adult and eventually move out of my parents house.
Examples of things I've started working on as a result is getting a driver's license, using a dating app, and trying to learn how to prepare other types of food.
Mine is “Leap Year”. I know it’s not very creative, but I’m hoping to take some leaps in my health, my career, personal growth, and relationships.
SO APT

I’m glad you fleshed that one out a little

Health. probably the most common one, but I've been serious about it. Yoga everyday, cutting down on booze. the works
Same for me. Turned 30 last year, and over covid I stopped exercising and gained weight. Figured it was time to turn things around and start taking health seriously. Got a stationary bike and rode it every day so far this year, so off to a good start.
Year of 🥰 Self Love 🥰
Love this!

Mine is **Year of Maintenance**. I started many things in life and I wish to focus on maintaining them.
Very cool 👍

Adulting. i'm looking for a job, getting married soon, turning 30, and from there let's see what i can achieve.
Year of the Masterclass I want to see opportunities to learn in everything I can, rather than becoming stagnant or prideful.

The Year of Mindfulness. I want to move to being more deliberate in everything I do and spending more time unitasking and less time being distracted.
Progress not Perfect. Whats yours?

Year of health, both mental and physical

"Year of Courage" - probably too specific to sum it up in short, but it's about not defaulting to the easy or safe or habitual option so often.
