The year is almost over nonnies! Let's discuss our goals for 2022!

What were your new years resolutions for 2021? Were you able to achieve them? Did you manage to achieve anything else in 2021 that was unplanned? What do you hope to achieve in 2022?

2021 New Years Resolutions thread: >>>/ot/644632

No. 993471

I suppose I kept my resolution, to start a business..but I've fallen behind. Last month and a half all blend together and I don't think I've done anything at all. My resolution for this year is to bring structure into my life, and to go outside every day.

No. 993478

To leave this dumpster fire shithole masquerading as a civilized country.
Although this was my new years resolution last year as well. Let's hope I succeed this coming year. Fingies crossed

No. 993479

My only resolution is to beat all the video games in my backlog. I stopped being ambitious because everytime I finally have an opportunity to do literally anything some crazy shit happens. Covid included. I'll keep posting about my backlog in the vidya thread, as usual.

I posted this in another thread a while back, but my big goal this year was to not buy any new clothing, and I've actually done that! It's been very freeing, and actually a lot easier than I thought it would be. I think I took the challenge on hard mode because for about 6 months of the year, we were dealing with bedbugs and I had to have almost all of my clothing in storage so I was forced to overcome my retarded fear of being judged for rewearing the same handful of clothing items over and over and I've come to the conclusion that honestly no one gives a shit as long as I don't look unkempt kek. I will admit that I had to buy a blazer for a job interview in the middle of those 6 months, but then returned it afterwards

When I browse through stores or look at my favorite brands, I don't know if things this year are just poorly designed or if my whole view on clothing has changed so I actually very rarely feel that intense want for new clothes. There's some stuff that's really cute and I'd really want, but nothing has been so amazing that I was willing to break my new years resolution for it. For 2022 I don't think I'm going to keep the same goal of no clothing at all, but if I want to buy anything at all, I think I will set a limit of 1-2 pieces per month and they must be 100% natural fibers and from small businesses only. I have my eye on some brands and their clothing is quite expensive but fit the criteria, so 1-2 a month seems like all I'd be able to afford anyway. No limit on any clothing I decide to make though kek.

For 2022 I have a few goals in mind.
>Learn to drive.
Every year I say this, and every year I pussy out because that shit is scary. Here's to leaving my comfort zone!
>Rollerblade more
Picked it up last month and having a blast despite being 100% awful.
>Read at least 1 book a month.
I feel like my brain is melting and I gotta keep it from melting out of my ears. It helps that I'm only interested in reading nonfiction books now, but doesn't help that they can be boring and put me to sleep.

No. 993489

I got nothing this year, so same stuff for 2022:
>complete my education and then
>apply to college
>buy a ps4 or ps5 for my mom
>buy a computer
>finish reading the books I started this year
>get healthy/gain some weight
Won't do more than that because something always goes wrong when I do that stuff. Honestly if I just stop being poor and move from this town it's gonna be a great year.

I want to get more experience gardening as I want to work towards a self-sufficient garden by time I graduate (not for a couple of years). That's my very main goal. Other than that it's not failing at uni I guess.

No. 993506

File: 1639409095584.jpg (69.78 KB, 540x691, 1637965344350.jpg)

My goals last year were to draw more and get a PC. I did both and managed to upgrade my tablet as well as study art more. My overall social media activity fell but I think that's a good thing.

For 2022, my goals are to draw more than I did this year. I clocked about 340 hours so far this year, so I'm guessing I can hit an average of 1 hour a day. In 2022 I'd like to get that up to at least 2 hours a day.
My other resolution is to learn Japanese through a more organized effort. I've been keeping at it on and off since November and I hope to be able to slowly read raws of mangas by the end of next year without having to look too many words up. I'd also like to write a letter to my JP friend in full Japanese.
More concrete, smaller goals would be:
>Exercise at least twice a month
>Stable-ish sleep schedule
>Finish a short comic

My resolution list always gets out of hand.
>eat vegan
>exercise (gym and rollerskating)
>write in my diary constructively
>get back in to knitting
>no electronics in bed/bedroom
>create and follow a budget
>get a pixie cut
>get botox and laser eye surgery
>keep track of books I read
>practice german
I actually did pretty well with these, and fulfilled the more wholesome ones. I really got in to going to the gym, and in the summer was at my fittest. I knitted my first pair of socks. I shaved my head. Botox is out, having discovered radical feminism and gotten better at critically analysing why I'm scared of wrinkles. I don't write in my diary, but I do scrapbook - which is definitely more positive and constructive.

2022 resolutions:
>primarily plant-based diet
>Reach out to people more. Don't keep compliments to myself. Keep social media use to a minimum, but interact with friends and acquaintances when I do go online instead of just lurking.
>find a new job
>use my holiday more wisely - don't hoard it until christmas, have fun in the summer!
I have loads of other plans and hopes for the year, but I think those are the ones I will need to try the hardest and will give the most reward. Apart from veganism. It's just tradition to list that and then fail or give myself a vitamin deficiency.

Drawing at least 1 full artwork a month

No. 993697

Only resolution for 2021 was eating less junk food, which I managed, at this point I'm only eating it when someone explicitly offers me something. Resolutions for 2022 are
>upping the distance I walk every week by still a bit more
>stretch every day and consequently get back to being able to do splits
>reach kanken level 4
>study enough to deduct half a year of training at my job
>study maths
1 and 3 are very realistic, and if I keep at it like I'm doing right now I'll reach it within the first half of 2022, with 2 I might get a bit lazy but even then I'll try to at least keep doing it at the weekends and 5 will definitely suffer in favor of 4 but I don't need it for anything (I just feel stupid for not being able to do even highschool maths, so this is a complete ego thing lol) so that's fine I guess. 4 will be the hardest, because I actually have no idea how to study anything but languages (and even that's mainly just reading anything and everything until the grammar and vocabulary sticks), but I've always had good grades without studying (except for maths, obv), especially in the subjects needed for my job, so I'm hoping I'll somehow manage if I actually sit down and try to study for real.

my biggest goal is to find a job within the next 3-4 months because that will open up a ton of possibilities/freedom.

-drop out of grad school
-get my own place
-finally get my adhd assessed properly (and then hopefully medicated)
-lose at least 20kg until the end of the year

easier goals are to continue reading a lot, to watch more movies and to pursue some knowledge for fun, without the pressure of academia behind it.

i also want to finally see my best friend again since i haven't seen her irl in over 3 years and she has a cat now! i must pet the kitty.

This one is pretty specific but I want to start practicing better self-love, specifically loving and respecting myself like I’m my own best friend. Recently I’ve noticed I’m keeping certain behaviour from my friends for fear of being judged, but I had a lightbulb moment that it’s only because they know it’s not what’s best for me and don’t want to see me making bad decisions that are going to hurt me in the long run. I also realised that if any of them were behaving the way I was and they were ignoring my thoughts and advice the way I’m tempted to ignore theirs, I would be fucking pissed.

Good ones anon

No. 994187

I looked up my last year resolution and it was about making small changes to improve my quality of life. I did OK I think. 2022, as ambitious as it sounds, has to be a formative year for me, because I was shocked to find out the events I was thinking happened last year actually happened in 2020, as if the year didn't happen. So I think that while it's good to achieve small things I should aim for at least some big things too. This year I moved into a new place in a nice town that met my expectations that friends said were too unrealistic (absolutely quiet with a city nearby but also very close to forests and nature) and became for the first time fully absolutely independent. All my living expenses paid for fully by me and not subsidised by the government or anyone or anything.

But I do fully plan to, once my work contract ends, take 1-2 months of being unemployed in the summer. For me it's too hard to juggle interviewing with holding a full time job, so I took the first offer that's marginally better than my first job. I'm also currently living in a foreign country i'm not sure I want to settle down in. So by the end of my sabbatical, I could have decided to take my life in a completely different direction. It's going to be a big year, and I hope I don't disappoint myself. Last time I revealed myself as looking for a job employers were chomping at the bit to have me (I was overqualified for each interview offer), so I'm not too worried about not being able to find anything.

In early 2021 I also got tinnitus. I went to an ENT specialist who told me my hearing is perfect and it's just stress, and imperative that I reduce stress if it's bad enough to trigger tinnitus. I'll try, but sometimes it feels impossible because whether I stay in a non ideal situation that is stressful or work on improving my situation (like moving somewhere new, getting a new job), it all creates stress. I guess I'm a little confused on what to do, and need some more time to think about it.

This is a great one, when I'm mad and miserable I push myself to go online and compliment/catch up with friends, it feels nice to not perpetuate misery, and sometimes helps me feel better.

lmao i forgot my new years resolution. i think it was just to focus on doing well in school but i dont think that worked out because life threw me several curve balls. i'm not mad about it because that's life i suppose.

i've started the upswing of improving my health and learning a new language. so my new year resolutions are:

- continue improving my health, get to the point where i can run a 5k, and then am running 5k at least twice a week. there are weight loss implications with this but even as someone who used to be disordered, i've found so much success in exercising regularly and focusing on beating my PBs, reaping the benefits of sleeping + breathing better, having lower anxiety and having more energy instead of being really meticulous about calorie counting and weighing every single component of my meal. the weight will come off but i'm focusing on becoming stronger.
- complete the language learning book i got as a birthday gift, improve my pronounciation, etc.
- improve cooking and baking by trying a new recipe at least once a month.
- make an effort to read semi-regularly but this isn't that strict, i'm just more interested in minimizing screen time.
- be more consistent with my studies because even though this year was really hard for me, its not an excuse for putting it on the backburner this much.

Managed to tick some new years resolutions for 2021. Got a new car, started learning Japanese, actually have a proper book to record all my monthly spending in 2021, managed to survive a one month social media fast, managed to survive another year of covid and lockdown alone and away from my family and I also tried my hands on gardening. But of course there's a lot of things that I have failed to achieve in 2021 due to the pandemic but I try not to beat myself up over it. Everyone has had a hard time these past two to three years.

New years resolution for 2022 is trying to complete the rest of my 2021 resolutions. The most immediate ones are:
>trying my hand on investing in stocks. I'm scared of this one because I'm not a risk taker at all and only have slight knowledge on investing. But most investing vids and journals I've watched/read mentioned that it's better to start investing earlier than later in life and just push yourself to start even if you don't know much because you'll learn by doing it.
> get myself a good quality mattress to save my poor back
> get a gym membership or enroll in a yoga class (I keep saying this for years but it never happens lel maybe this year?)
> and the most important goal of all is to get myself a proper fitting bra! Goddammit! Why is it so hard to find a good bra that doesn't break your bank or your boobs? After a bajillion years of living in this godforsaken planet I still can't find a proper fitting bra. Whyyyyyy

Would highly recommend "I will teach you to be rich"! It's a personal finance book and he does cover investing in the book. I think it's a good place to start because a lot of resources on the internet tend to be very overwhelming. You don't have to invest in stocks if you aren't a risk taker, you can also do index funds which are usually safer and aim to match the market (which grows at about 10% a year) rather than beating the market (very rare and waste of time). Roboadvisors are also a thing but I personally do not like them because many will just keep a portion of your portfolio (maybe like 20% or something) in cash, and cash does not do much of anything if it isn't invested.

Good luck nona! Once you get the hang of the basics I think investing choices will become a bit easier.

I didn't meet any of my 2021 goals but I'm an incorrigible optimistic so I think things are looking better for 2022. I actually have more planned out, less generic goals and deadlines for said goals as well, so that motivates me way more.

I actually managed to greatly reduce my drinking and weed habit greatly and replace it with exercise and other hobbies which where previously consumed by my substance abuse.
That was about March last year, and I feel a lot better both mentally and physically since then.
I have also managed to get a new job starting next year that pays a lot more than my current one.
For next year I want to try my hand at sustainability/homecraft shit. I already make my own mead, bread and jam but I need to go deeper.
Also I think I might be a closeted lesbian so I need to explore that.

I want to spend less time on my phone. My phone is telling me that I spend like an average of 9 hours per day on it and I think part of it is because it also takes into account the time I spend on my iPad (mainly for youtube, which I also just put on for background noise), but it's still ridiculously high.

Tbh, I don’t remember if I had a resolution for last year. This coming year, I’d like to try to focus on getting help for my undiagnosed mental illness again. The last time I tried, I basically couldn’t keep appointments consistently because of my memory issues, so I was dropped as a patient. Which, to me, feels paradoxical, but I understand that it probably seemed like I didn’t want the help from their perspective. I did want it, but it feels like my brain has deteriorated and even with appointment reminders, it still slips my mind like 5 minutes after. The same effect as reading a text and not replying right away, so then you forget you ever got a text in the first place.

I want to get more fit/get a six pack, significantly improve my art, study the foreign language I'm learning almost every day or make more progress towards fluency, get really good at cooking/baking, eat healthier, read more books, spend more time studying for uni (computer science so practice writing code outside of classwork), and start learning to sew/pattern draft

Three years ago I was the fattest I've ever been. I shaved my head just for fun, enjoyed wearing funny clothes and had lots of self-confidence and belief in myself. I knew I wasn't pretty or appealing, but I felt free. Then I moved in with my boyfriend who took it upon himself to become my life coach and personal trainer. I've grown my hair out, wear all black and feel ugly and dirty and dumb despite having lost weight. My boyfriend dared to complain last summer that I wasn't my fun, colourful self anymore. I left him a few weeks later, but I'm still struggling with feeling worthless. I want to spend 2022 building my confidence. I don't want to gain the weight back or shave my head again, but I do want to feel that sense of freedom and fun that I used to have. It's strange to know that I once loved myself despite my flaws, and now I can barely stand to look at the "improved" version in the mirror. In 2022 no one's gonna be my life coach but me.

I used to shave my head, I don't have the greatest face shape for it but I loved it anyway.

I've gone back and forth a bit over the years. I'm straight but kinda butch and I've toned aspects of myself down to 'match my sexuality' aka please bfs and social norms. It makes me miserable and my misery makes me feel uglier than anything. When I've been single and doing my own thing I get way more people interacting, strangers starting up convos with me, I'm approachable. I attract the right kind of people for me. I could 'do myself a favor' and style myself to appeal to more people but you might as well appeal to people that match you.

I'm tatted aswell and while they are rarely out on show, I have bumped into a few people lately who are heavily tattoeed too and got chatting to them about it. I'm new to a rural area where I wasn't expecting to make friends easily so my thing for 2022 is that I want to connect with some of those people I bumped into before. I want something more to come of it. Friendship, one of them was hot so maybe more.. I mainly want to come out of my shell more. Coming out of my shell is an ongoing thing I think I'll always have to work at. Throw it on the list for every year lol

My goals for the next year are:
>Find a graduate job
Will start applying once I get my uni papers in order. Maybe make a linkedin although it makes my skin crawl.
>Get into drawing again
Basically stopped because of uni and lack of motivation caused by uni stress.
>Improve my health
My bf and I have agreed to join a gym in January lmao, my current job is fucking over my health so finding a new job would help in this regard as well.
>Read 5 books
To not become completely braindead now that I'm out of education kek.

I'm quite optimistic but also scared about the new year, have never been out of education before and have reached the point where I can't tolerate staying at my current workplace much longer but also I will miss it. Atm I'm as broke as I have ever been due to needing to cut down my work hours for health and studying reasons, it's quite humiliating honestly. Have picked up some new hobbies this year so I'm hype to have more time to dedicate to them as well. Have a good feeling about this year and I'm normally quite pessimistic!

my new years resolutions are as follow:
>lose weight (60-70lbs to be exact)
this is a given. i've been overweight for the past 3 years and it's fucking with my mental and physical health. the reason why i haven't been able to deal with this properly is because of my mentality, i've always either ate nothing and starved or ate everything, hence why i've never been able to sustain weight loss. this changes now and i will no longer fall into these cycles that i know will end tragically
>exercise more and get fit
for my health. i'm so young yet feel like i can't do much physical work without getting burnt out. exercise also helps my mental problems
>improve my mental health
try to find ways to deal with my anxiety and depression, body image issues, eating issues etc etc better. get professional help when/if i need it instead of dealing with it on my own in unsustainable ways
>being nicer to people in my head and being less judgemental overall
i'm never mean to people out loud but i do catch myself having negative thoughts about people in my head. i want to stop that because it's a clear sign of my own insecurity especially when those thoughts are about physical appearance
>start dating (or at least try)
well i have no experience because of my insecurities so hopefully by getting healthier i will gain confidence to finally start experiencing things in that department
>finally move to (redacted country)
if everything works out, that will be the case. and i can't wait for it

>Fix my car or trade it in for a better one
>Send an email to a friend I lost contact with a year ago
>Stop watching porn

The last two are stress related which is hard because I'm starting a new semester of college in January

No. 1008048

My first resolution is to be more socially active, digitally if not in person because 'rona. Although that sounds counterintuitive - I don't want to be a "terminally online" person anymore than I already am, but I'm not active in any communities other than anonymous imageboards these days. My main motivation is self-promotion of my content and it's shit shilling stuff on those places.

My second resolution would be actually promoting my content, which is quite intimidating to say the least. Do people just shill links to their shit on reddit and the like?

And I guess a third resolution would to go through my journals of the past couple years and try to organize it in a more meaningful way.

Can we also talk about the lack of a resolution? Every year I get excited because it will be a new year and you can "start over" and do better etc.
But for some reason this is the first year I feel completely grim about things. I don't feel excited like before. It truly is just another year and I'm sad that my brain sees it like this. I just feel like things won't change and I'll still be living the same life and the same situations and etc.
I dunno if this is because of the pandemic, me growing up, being kinda frustrated in my life, etc…

Actually , another resolution would be getting my own apartment. I'm 27 and still live with my parents because of covid reducing my chances to get a permanent work contract, and having 6 months long work contracts means landlords won't even look at my applications if I even start looking for an apartment. So hopefully I can extend my contract, negotiate a salary increase, and get my own place so I can escape my batshit crazy family.

I think I want to throw away as much of my current bedroom as possible (Give away, sell, etc)

Want to actually make stuff specifically to sell

put more effort into my cooking (meal prepping for the sake of laziness, etc)

Not pick up any new hobbies but work on improving the ones I already have

I had a great first new year nonnies. I exercised and stretched, got 10,000 steps, cleaned for a bit, repotted some plants, and tried some winter themed nail art!
My resolution is to spend less time online and do things that improve my health, style, and environment.

i have a lot of regular personal resolutions but specifically for this hellsite, i want to be so busy and distracted with positive irl things that i lurk here less (no offense lol)

also on that note, any time i get a big urge to like alog or post about some bitch i consider a "personal lolcow" i am going to step back, write it in the notes app instead, have a good hard look at how pathetic and vendetta cringe it probably sounds, delete it and go for a fucking walk or something

Gonna try and get my driving confidence back (had a really bad experience during my second ever time driving, got bad anxiety and stopped, then practiced again for a year got my open license, haven’t touched a car since.)

I also want to get my writing passion back. No one will probably ever read it but it’s fun.
Rooting for you all nonitas

First day was back at work today and i called off because fuck it. I don't care anymore, and it's a snow day on top of it, so it's extra enjoyable. Happy 2022

This is the year I will stop allowing destabilizing forces into my life and make way more money as a result. Then I will find a ditzy, dependable, very loving, emotionally intelligent skelly bf that doesn't try to pointlessly bicker or compete with me intellectually, financially and emotionally.

You go nonny. I hate to say it but I sort of wish this site went away at the end of the year because it's pretty much all I do. My resolution this year is to have less screen time and view it as a reward or treat rather than a necessity.

This year I want to continue my college classes like I've planned out. I want to continue to be motivated so I do very well so that I can try to get grants and scholarships for when I transfer.

Never made a resolution, but I need a new job this year. I'm so over my current one, and want out by no later than March, being realistic.

Rather than "be fit/get toned" I want to become more comfortable in my body. I already workout almost every day before work. I'm not going crazy lifting weights or running miles on the threadmill, I usually do yoga or bodyweight work outs in the morning, and I enjoy it. It's a good, feasible routine for me and I've kept at it for almost 3 years now! I've become more flexible, and some of my body pains have lessened as I get a little bit stronger.

But I'm skinnyfat and always feel like what I do isn't enough. I need to work out more, work out harder. I can't enjoy the fun physical hobbies I pick up like rock climbing because it quickly turns from "this is a really fun thing to do! and a nice bonus is it gets me moving" to "I need to do this with more frequency and get better so I can burn more calories and get fit" and then I burn out from whatever physical activity because it no longer becomes fun because I'm upset that I'm not working out hard enough.

I don't like to wear revealing clothes, I don't make money from looking good, I don't even post selfies on social media, nevermind body or outfit pictures! So I just want to be happy with my body, so I can enjoy my morning routine and hobbies without burning out from them. If I want to start moving towards harder workouts, then I'd like to from the angle of "I want a new challenge" or "I think this will be fun" rather than "this will give me a nicer body."

Find a well-paying job (just graduated), pay off debts, get into a good cs masters program, get more plastic surgery (superficial but oh well), focus on bettering my mental health, lose weight, travel to visit family aboard and move out from my parents place
