These last two years have been full of ups and downs. Quarantines, covid, car accidents, remote work, returning to the office, and training for a work merger. That’s why I’ll be focusing on balance in 2022. Balance is my word of the year.
I need to find balance for my health, both physically and mentally. These last couple of years have been confusing and mentally draining. I don’t understand how people are acting so selfishly. It just weighs down on me.
And now that I’m commuting again, it’s added back stress that I forgot about while I was working from home for over a year. Arrgh.
Balance. I need to find balance, especially through yoga and meditation. My husband even commented during the past year that I need a yoga class. The only problem is how far the studios are from where we live (Orlando is a sprawling, commuter nightmare.) What I need is to make it a regular home practice–not just a once-a-week thing.
Balance in what I eat is also needed. I will admit, I’ve gained weight during the pandemic (and before.) I’m working with my doctor to get back on track so being able to make healthier choices is going to be important in the coming year.
Balance. Mentally, emotionally, and physically. That’s my goal and my word of the year. What’s yours?
Ooo, I haven’t decided yet what my word is. Balance is a good one though. I could always use more of that. And I’ll pulling for you–hope you get back to your yoga.
Balance can be applied to so many areas. Thanks for stopping by and I hope 2022 is wonderful for you and your family.
I have to plan and focus on so many things because my life was basically on pause for two years and now it’s on slow motion. I haven’t been able to get back to normal because we still aren’t at normal. Every week looks like Groundhog’s day of right before quarantine of March 2020. So I’ve been holding my breath waiting for the other shoe to drop.
I know what you mean and NY locks down more than most. On the other hand, I live in the state of “we don’t care about anyone” aka Florida. I felt safer in March of 2020 than I do right now even though I’m vaccinated and getting my booster on Saturday. I don’t trust anyone who isn’t wearing a mask because odds are, they aren’t vaccinated, they just don’t give a damn.
Now, we have a new mayor who is inexperienced so things are going to be along the way of common sense.
Jennifer – I wish for you the balance you desire.
Thank you, Janet.
Yes, one of the hardest parts of this year was seeing how fellow Americans refused to wear masks or get vaccinated. There’s no rhyme or reason. Stay happy and healthy this year, Jennifer, and may you find the balance you’re seeking.
I haven’t picked a word this year or made a resolution. I’m just going with the flow and hoping things will become sane again..
