This will be worthwhile for your life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I just spent this afternoon doing a 2021 year review and 2022 goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I actually have been looking forward to it all week! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I first started this in 2019. I got some ideas from one of Michael Hyatt&#8217;s books, <em>Your Best Year Ever<\/em>, and Rachel Hollis&#8217;s podcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">First, I do a year review, in this case of 2021. I sit down with my planner and start back in January flipping through it and have 3 columns on paper: what happened that was awesome, what I never want to do again, and what made me feel like I was living my best life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">So some things that were awesome for me in 2021:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><li>I started working with a career coach<\/li><li>Took painting classes<\/li><li>Left a toxic job and took time off<\/li><li>Went to Florida to see family<\/li><li>got my Fellowship from the AGD (Academy of General Dentistry)<\/li><li>Started working on my health by investing in a nutritionist\/accountability coach<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Some things that I never want to do again:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><li>work FT in dentistry<\/li><li>move across country<\/li><li>be underpaid for my worth and value as I was in a position I had <\/li><li>get a dental license in another state<\/li><li>continue to eat poorly, gain weight, and have high cholesterol<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">And finally, things that made me feel like I was living the good life: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><li>getting regular massages<\/li><li>Being fitted for my own golf clubs<\/li><li>having time off and time abundance<\/li><li>sitting out in our backyard in NC<\/li><li>celebrating<\/li><li>travel (going to FL, back to OH to see fam, Austin for AGD conference)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I hope you can see already how insightful and amazing this is to do! And these are just a handful of items from each of my 3 columns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Then I made goals for the year in 9 various categories &#8211; spiritual, intellectual, emotional, physical, marital, social, vocational, avocational, and financial. I usually try to list 3-5 goals in each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">These are to be S.M.A.R.T. goals &#8211; specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. I&#8217;ll admit mine are not always that but it&#8217;s good to have something to keep working on \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I&#8217;ll share a few below to give you some ideas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><li>Spiritual <ul><li>Meditate daily<\/li><li>Practice gratitude<\/li><li>Keep working on developing my intuition and listening to it<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Intellectual<ul><li>Read 2 books\/month<\/li><li>Write 1 blog post\/week<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Emotional<ul><li>Continue to see my therapist<\/li><li>Take time to slow down and rest<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Physical<ul><li>Daily walks<\/li><li>Strength workouts 3x\/week<\/li><li>Get back into running (possible 10 miler 10\/22\/2022)<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Marital<ul><li>2 vacations\/year together<\/li><li>Fun date nights (other than just going out to eat \ud83d\ude42<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Social<ul><li>Make friends here<\/li><li>Running store group runs<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Vocational<ul><li>Keep working on what&#8217;s my next<\/li><li>Coaching training or ?<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Avocational<ul><li>Golf at least 2x\/month<\/li><li>Explore &#8211; new cities, hikes, things to do<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Financial<ul><li>Get back on track saving<\/li><li>Pay extra to mortgage<\/li><li>Keep having our budget meetings<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Again, it took just a couple hours to do this. Some people may block out a half or even whole day. I love reviewing the year and realizing how much happened and how much I&#8217;ve done. It&#8217;s great to think on what you don&#8217;t want to do anymore, have on your calendar, or what is not beneficial to live the life you desire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Be deliberate about your time! I strongly encourage you to take the time to plan your year ahead. And, look at the year behind to help know what you want in year ahead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Cheers! Happy New Year! Let&#8217;s do 2022! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"479\" height=\"359\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liveplayrun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/istockphoto-1333992332-170667a.jpg?resize=479%2C359&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-529\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liveplayrun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/istockphoto-1333992332-170667a.jpg?w=479&amp;ssl=1 479w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liveplayrun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/istockphoto-1333992332-170667a.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 479px) 100vw, 479px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you spending more time planning your next trip, your next vacation, your weekend plans, what&#8217;s for dinner than your year ahead?
