Happy NYE! Here is what I hope to have achieved by this time next year in 2022!

Happy New Year’s Eve! This year has been insane, and so much has happened. I relaunched my blog under the wellness and lifestyle niche, graduated with my master’s degree, lived through a pandemic, and learned how to take of myself. 

Now is the perfect time to publish my This Time Next Year blogging challenge answers. Make sure to check the end of this post to see who I am tagging for this challenge!

The Rules Of The “This Time Next Year” Tag

Thank the person who tagged you

I want to thank Bee from Mind Beauty Simplicity and Mummy Conquering Anxiety for tagging me in the This Time Next Year challenge. I know you challenged me earlier this month, but I wanted to time this so that it came out as the year was ending. One of my favorite things to do on New Year’s Eve is to reflect on the year and to create new goals for the next. 

I am so happy to have been tagged because it allows me to share more. I love these types of posts; this tag is perfect for today. It also gives you the chance to know me a little more.

So, here is my This Time Next Year tag without further ado. 

Write Your Goals For The Next Year

To Workout More

One of my biggest health goals for the new year is to work out more. However, I’m still seeking the best fitness routines to fit my busy lifestyle. I lean towards daily jogs and endurance yoga styles such as Ashtanga and Power Vinyasa. 

Most importantly, I want to ensure consistency with whatever form of fitness I decide to do. I have struggled with this last year to be compatible with my routines. There were weeks I wouldn’t work out, and then there were weeks when I worked out daily. 

Be More Consistent In Blogging Scheduling & Planning

Now that I’ve mastered this blogging thing, I want to create a permanent schedule and become more consistent in planning and content creation. So, next year, I will increase my blogging to three times a week. 

I also want to start planning and scheduling content ahead of time, so I don’t fall behind if I’m too busy or working. I aim to prepare content at least one month ahead of time and utilize my new blogging planner. 

To Start Building My Personal Brand

Since I launched Riyah Speaks, I’ve been thinking about where to take this. I’ve decided to start getting my life coaching certifications and creating online courses to help more people. 

I have found a few sites where I can do this; I have to start it. By the end of next year, I hope to have completed these certifications and set myself up for success in 2023. Also, it would be nice to have started increasing the number of sales I get at the digital shop on riyahspeaks.com

Time-Block Everything

In 2022, I am not making the same mistake I made in 2021. This year, I did many things on a whim and didn’t plan much. Next year, I want to time-block everything to have more time to enjoy the things I love, such as going out, reading, or even dabbling into poetry again. I’ve been teaching myself about the Pomodoro method and learning to apply it to my daily lifestyle.

Prioritize Self-Care

Self-care is a huge part of my daily lifestyle. However, I do feel like I need to prioritize it more. Life can get crazy sometimes, and in 2022, I want to make sure that I leave more time to take care of myself. Sometimes, I feel like I put others and duties ahead of myself, and that’s not necessarily a good thing. 

I want to ensure I am doing everything to live a happy and fulfilling life. Whether through daily journaling, a skincare day, going for a walk, or simply sleeping. This also includes taking breaks from blogging and social media as necessary. 

Tag At Least 5 Bloggers
