7 Goals To Change Your Life in 2022
Start now to make a real difference next year.
At the beginning of each year, it is customary to project oneself on the year to come by defining goals to be reached to change one's life. I find this approach important because setting goals is the best way to stay motivated and to continue to progress over time.
The problem with this approach is the timing in my opinion.
I feel that it's already too late to project yourself like this when the year has just started. So I prefer to define my goals for the next year as early as December. From then on, I start to act directly without waiting for the beginning of the new year.
This approach avoids putting too much stress on you when the new year starts. You will already be ahead of your goals and will have more chances to achieve them. So in what follows, I'm going to detail 7 goals you need to pursue in 2022 to change your life.
Once you have defined these goals, it will be up to you to take direct action to make sure that achieving them changes your life.
Invest more in yourself
You are your most valuable asset. Your success in life will only depend on your knowledge and skills. With this in mind, your goal should be to constantly increase your knowledge and skills.
Constantly look for ways to invest in yourself. For those of you looking for the money excuse, I reveal 9 ways to invest in yourself for $0 in this article: “You Are Your Most Valuable Asset — 9 Ways To Invest in Yourself for $0”.
Exercise more
Life is a marathon, not a sprint. You will go as far as your health will allow you to go. Those who work more than 100 hours a week trying to copy Elon Musk will sooner or later pay the price. Rather than going to that extreme, you need to find the balance between your personal and professional life.
To keep your mind healthy, you will need to cultivate a healthy body. The two are intimately connected. So you'll start now to exercise at least 3 times a week. Also, choose to walk more often. Avoid elevators when you can climb stairs.
In short, do everything you can to stay active every day.
Own more assets
Inflation has reached 6.8% in America in November 2021. Contrary to what Jerome Powell or Janet Yellen, the US Treasury Secretary, announced, this inflation will not be transitory, but persistent.
If you keep your money in a bank account or cash, you will mechanically lose money. So you need to look for ways to own more assets. There is no shortage of investment options to protect you from this inflation that is insidiously attacking your wealth.
My choice is Bitcoin, but you are free to choose other assets. The important thing is to limit cash to your emergency fund.
Make more money
If money doesn't make you happy, it contributes greatly to it. In 2022, you will still have to look for ways to earn more money to take the best possible care of your future. There is no shortage of opportunities with the Internet. The important thing is to get started. Aim to create at least one side hustle that makes you money in 2022.
Don't be too ambitious right away. Remember that the hardest part is the first step. Once you've taken that first step - your first few dollars from your side hustle - you'll have even more motivation to keep going and grow your income.
Starting now will put you ahead of the game when 2022 rolls around.
Read, read, then read again
Books are an inexhaustible source of knowledge that you will have to exploit to invest in yourself. Books, but also articles. The important thing is that you read every day to try to reduce your ignorance. Because in life, it is your ignorance that costs you money.
For example, Warren Buffett says he reads up to 500 pages every day. To me, the number is not important. It's the process that is important. The fact that you want to become a better version of yourself every day through books is the key.
Cut out negativity
Achieving great things in life is not easy. If you make the mistake of being your own worst enemy, then you'll have an even harder time getting there. So you must do everything you can to say goodbye to negativity. Choose to be optimistic now so that your 2022 year changes your life for good.
Look at every mistake and failure with a growth mindset. These outcomes are lessons that will allow you to do better the next time. Learn the lessons that need to be learned, then adapt. All successful people do this.
You must do the same.
Spend more time with your loved ones
Time is your most precious resource on earth. So you need to use your time wisely. Among the essential things that you need to put at the center of your concerns is spending more time with your loved ones. Having ambitious professional goals is an important thing.
However, your professional success should not come at the expense of your well-being and the time you will spend with your loved ones. This precious time will contribute to making you happier. You will enter a virtuous circle that will allow you to perform better professionally while being more fulfilled.
Final Thoughts
Setting short, medium, and long-term goals is the key to staying motivated to do your best day after day. Even more important to me is timing. The key to changing your life for the better is not to wait until January 1st of the new year to start this operation.
The 7 goals that I have presented to you are in my opinion a good thread that you can start following right away. This will allow you to achieve great things in 2022. That's all I wish for you.
