At the end of each year, I reflect on the year I experienced. For most people, this is a common practice that occurs over and over again throughout their life. They wish to see how much they have changed in their relationships, jobs, financial situation and more. Although, for me, that’s not always the case. I look at what has changed over the year and what I can change to accomplish more in the following year. For a few years now, I have written myself a letter that I can only open at the end of the year. I write goals and things that I hope I can accomplish, and the ways I plan on achieving them. When I open the letter, I reflect on if I was able to achieve my goals or if the goals have changed. Here are just a few things from this year’s letter.

Reach a Milestone Goal on YouTube and Twitch

A goal that I have always wanted to achieve is to have a successful gaming/lifestyle YouTube and Twitch channel. I have wanted to pursue this goal since I was 15. I have started this goal three times now and I always struggle with something new every time. Last time, I made a significant attempt at it and found it starting to go somewhere. This year, I want to continue that effort and reach a milestone. Whether related to follower count or content, I wish to achieve a new milestone.

Now, I can do this in a few different ways. First, I can start posting more content and hope things work out. Secondly, I can make a plan and stick to that plan. My problem last time was that I got busy with school, then everything else automatically went on the back burner and was hardly ever seen again. I don’t want that to be the case this time. I want to learn to manage my time and schedule so I will have the time to do what I want to do. By the end of this year, I aim to achieve better time management habits and upload more content.

Work on my Mental Health

I am a huge mental health activist and strive to help end the stigma around mental health. Although, one thing that has always bothered me about how I handle my mental health is that I slowly let it consume me before I even notice something is off. This year I want that to change. I want to recognize that something is off and see what I can do to change that.

There are a few ways I plan on accomplishing this goal. First, I want to start journaling again and writing down how I feel. Hopefully, this will help me to recognize when I am starting to feel more anxious or sad about something. Secondly, once I see that something is off about my mood, I can work toward what I think needs to change.

I believe that I have a solid plan for each of these goals and hopefully will achieve what I want by the end of 2023. It’s all about taking small steps in order to accomplish something big and that’s what I plan to do with these goals, as well as a few others. Let’s make 2023 the best year yet!
