Here are my 21 goals for 2021. Some of these are things I didn’t have the opportunity to complete in 2020 or are things that I want to continue working on. Some are brand new.
- Move to Japan
- Write the JLPT N4
- Write the JLPT N3
- Visit three new prefectures in Japan
- Cycle the Shimanami Kaido or walk part of the Shikoku 88 temple pilgrimage
- Eat at a Michelin starred restaurant
- Read 50 Books
- Read all the books I own
- Continue embracing intuitive eating habits. Eat what you are hungry for when you are physically hungry
- Try 50 new recipes
- Exercise a couple of times a week (Go to the gym, do yoga, take extra cycling trips, or go on big walks)
- Meditate before bed each day and during the day at least twice a week
- Get seven or more hours of sleep consistently (try for 75% of days)
- Be a regular volunteer or make charitable donations (at least once a month)
- Do center splits/middle splits. Stretch everyday
- Make a capsule wardrobe filled with clothes I love
- Dress up nicely at least once a week. Take a photo each time
- Go to therapy at least once a month
- Spend more time relaxing freely without expectation. You don’t have to try to be productive all of the time.
- Do my skincare routine each day
- Keep my space clean and tidy. Stick to a relaxed but consistent cleaning schedule. Wash my dishes everyday.
I will revisit an item if it isn’t working for me.
I also want to work on the more nebulous goal of being more open and sharing more of myself with other people. I want to feel that those around me know my authentic self. I want to tend and deepen my relationships with others.
