2024: Finish the sentence...
As we close out 2023, I wanted to do a mini-reflection exercise with you just to get you thinking ahead. Finish the sentences! What's the first thing that comes to mind? That may be what you want to focus on. If you're the type who prefers to really think about it, that's good too! At the end of the sentences, you should have an idea of what you want to work on this year.
⭐ In 2024 I would like to...
⭐ To do this, I need to...
My tip is to focus on wellness over resolutions. What do you want to work on and how do you plan to get there?
Revisit your reply to this post often to make sure you're still going in the right direction. Monitoring your progress is key to creating lasting change!

I would like to focus on making more conversations with others. I am discovering that through the years my depression has mostly centered around me being by myself and not opening myself up to others. I too can be a likeable person I just need to be approachable and be ready to help others as they help me.
🌟 In 2024 I would like to
* be emotionally more stronger.
* be able to channalize my worries towards positive productivity.
🌟 To do this i need to
* Expose myself more towards awareness and knowledge.
* criticize myself less.

Wonderful idea, H!
⭐ In 2024 I would like to...
... grow more comfortable in my role as Listener Room Supporter
... learn to set aside more time for activities I care about
... develop a whole (tiny) video game on my own
... appreciate the people I care more
⭐ To do this, I need to...
... gain more experience as a listener on here
... host more listener discussions to gain confidence
... complete more trainings on the training page
... remind myself constantly what the activities that I truly care about are (listening, learning to play the guitar, learning to develop video games, bouldering)
... say "no" more often to events I don't care about
... practice more self-care
... be brave in making mistakes at first
... getting better at managing my time and finding motivation
... believing in myself and my abilities more (even without the need for external validation)
... spend quality time with the people I care about
... suggest adventures to the people I care about (instead of only getting invited all the time)
... gain confidence in being curious about their life by asking more questions
... be bold in reaching out to them even if I haven't heard from them in a long time

Hi H! 😊 ❤️ Many thanks for this thought provoking forum post!
In 2024 I would like to remain centered, remain feeling peaceful and happy.😊
To do this, I need to stay the course. Continue to plan my work and work my plan while practicing mindfulness.
Self...continue to pace yourself and enjoy each part of the process for attaining your goals. Take it slow, enjoy each step of the way and celebrate the small victories 🥳 while doing pieces to execute the larger plans.
Remember to play a little, sing a little and dance a little each day. Remember that "you got this"!
Much of what it is that you need was inside of you all along, continue to tap into that. Continue to listen to yourself and trust your intuition. For the rest, continue to trust in the universe, the powers that be.
When the universe speaks, listen too. The universe hasn't forgotten about you and will give to you what it is that you need.
*high fives* 😊 and *hugs* ❤️ to self also!

I would like to achieve personal and professional growth, explore new opportunities, foster meaningful connections with others, be kinder to myself, have less stress, and maintain a healthy work-life balance. Additionally, I aim to learn new skills, pursue my passions, and contribute positively to this community.
I can achieve my goals by setting clear objectives, managing my time effectively, learning new things, working hard, being open to new opportunities, prioritizing important tasks, improving my communication skills, showing kindness to others, taking care of myself, and contributing to the community as much as possible.
In 2024 I would like to be more appreciative of everything I have.
To do this I need to be happy with everything I have.
In 2024 I need to lose weight.
For this I need to eat less and work out more.
