Hello everyone!

I used to love having New Years Resolutions. I used to always write down a plethora of goals, 'I want to lose some weight, I want to go to the gym 5 times a week, I want to pass this exam, and etc.'
But in 2021, I kept it simple. I had one very simple goal: be more physically active.

I guess, despite the pandemic, I didn't do so bad!

I did a lot of salsa dancing, walking, and I even went on the longest hike of my life (24 kilometres!) So, I'd say that I achieved my goal.

That's looking at the past. What about the future?

For this year, I have much deeper, mental goals:
I thought of three different traits or 'things'.

One that I already have but want more of, one that I want to remove from my life because it's not doing me any good, and one that I don't have but would like to add to my life.

1. I want to increase: my patience
2. I want to remove: my self-doubt
3. I want to add: strength

Here's a short article I published about my self-reflection in detail, titled 'A Different Kind of New Years Resolution.'

What about you? Is there anything you want to increase to, add to, or remove from your life? Share your thoughts with me, and let's inspire each other!

Wishing you all a beautiful 2022, filled with love, health, laughter, and some learning :D

Hi Yara, After the last lesson, I thought about my New Year's resolutions again and wrote below them. 1. For English, I need to increase my speaking opportunities compared to last year. 2. For health, I want to train my inner muscles. 3. As a mental aspect, I'll try not to blame the other person, and be grateful for at least one little thing once a day. I'm looking forward to seeing you next lesson!

Happy New Year, Yara! This year , I want to increase my curiosity, remove my laziness and add the thinking ability. I used to try plethora things what I’m interested in before pandemic. So I eager to challenge something new dispite hard situation. And I should think deeply in my work. By doing so, I will make fewer mistakes and be more efficient. I’m looking forward to talking about this with you in the next lesson.

Hi Yara, Did you enjoy your lives in Beirut? I miss you. I read your short article of "New Years resolution" now. But it's difficult to understand to me. My New Years resolution is squatting 100 times a day, and finding one good thing that happened during the day. I'm looking forward to seeing you.

Hi Yara! Thank you for giving me a great opportunity to set goals in 2022. The thing I want to cultivate is my communication skill in English. The thing I want to get rid of is to browse social media, especially in the morning. The thing I want to incorporate into my life is to learn something new and enhance myself. My kids are grown and starting to be able to take care of themselves, so I want to do what I couldn't after I've got married. Have a great year!
