I’m Feeling 2022: Goals for the New Year – January Update

Dear Adventure Avenue,

Last year, my monthly goals were an adventure of curiosity and personal growth. This year, I’m feeling 2022 (Taylor Swift fans out there will get the reference) and plan on working on things that I enjoy doing or that I want to accomplish this year. Let’s get to it!

Goals for the New Year

1. GROW A GARDEN 

I realized once gardening season started last year that I should have made gardening one of my goals for last year. I love to garden, but with this as a goal, I plan on keeping better track of my gardening adventures. This year in the garden, I plan to:

Plant zucchini in the new plot I started. I’m trying a no dig method to deal with bad soil and weeds.

Plant the tomato seeds I saved from my favorite tomato plants of 2021.

Plant herbs and/or strawberries in my new Vertical planter – affiliate link here.

I haven’t started anything in this department yet as the weather has been all over the place, but I saved two of my tomato plants from last year! They both have tomatoes growing on them! I also still have some green onions growing from last year.

Picture taken after a massive windstorm – some of the tomatoes need to be re-staked.

2. DO YOGA 60 TIMES THIS YEAR – THAT’S JUST 5 TIMES A MONTH!

I love yoga, and it’s so good for my physical and mental health.

I have been doing amazing on this goal! I started a 30-day yoga challenge on YouTube with Yoga with Adriene.

In January, I practiced yoga 22 times! (How fitting!)

3. READ OR LISTEN TO 22 BOOKS

I like to track the books I read throughout the year. Since I love to read, this is a great 2022 inspired goal.

So far this year I have read:

Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendency: Chaos Rising by Timothy Zahn

Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy: Greater Good by Timothy Zahn

I’m still working on Marie Antoinette: The Journey by Antonia Fraser and Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy: Lesser Evil by Timothy Zahn. I like to have multiple books to read at once.

4. DECLUTTER 1000 ITEMS

After reading Declutter Like a Mother by Allie Casazza last year, I decided to give decluttering a go. I started this goal on December 3 and had already decluttered 179 things. Now I have decluttered a total of 501 items! Halfway there already, but I have a feeling that the last 499 items will take longer than the first 501!

I’m just using a piece of graph paper to track mine, but Let’s Live and Learn is where I got the idea to declutter 1000 items. She has a printable that may be helpful – link here.

This month I received my results back from a ThredUp order I had sent of clothes that had been listed on Poshmark forever but were not selling. This got rid of a lot of items! Check out that post here in case you missed it to see what sold and what didn’t!

5. MAKE 100 POSHMARK SALES

This goal goes along the same lines as goal #4 as some of the things I’m decluttering are nice clothes that just no longer fit or serve me, but still have lots of wear left in them. Check out my review of Poshmark here. If you’re interested in Poshmark, use my code asposhadventure to sign up and get a $10 credit.

In January, I sold 36 listings!

Let’s achieve our goals and I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling 2022!

Sincerely,

A
