2022 for me was all about transformation. I divorced my alcoholic husband of 35 years, sold and cleared out our house of 31 years that we raised our kids in, got an apartment of my own and while I had a great job, pay and benefits wise, workload was slowing killing me so I also went out and got a new job. I now look to 2023 as a time to figure out exactly who I am and what, besides my wonderful sons, makes me happy! (Oh and am a fellow Coloradan here so looking at where do I really want to live...stay in my town or discover a new part of the state).
Proud of you.
Happy experimenting!
Wow, that's so amazing Susan! That all sounds really hard to go through, so proud of you!! 💗 Best wishes for 2023, you got this!
❤
2022 was a year of accomplishing goals(I lost 63 lbs and am considered to be in remission for type 2 diabetes). 2023 will be more of the same now that I know I can do it! I did not know you have aphantasia. I do too! I'm 53 and only found out a couple of years ago in an insomnia CBT course. I have always struggled to draw because of it, but am going to try some "draw my day" types of courses. I'll also be drawing from your doodle book.
2022 was very much about acceptance for me. Once I accepted my mental health and some life circumstances, I was able to find joy and do the things I needed to do to thrive.
My end of the year reflection for 2022 is not a word but an old school image - Angela Bassett in Waiting to Exhale in front of the burning car.
I'm so amazed and impressed with how much you do while feeling crappy. AND, the quality of your content is great. Not compromised one bit. Big back pats and high fives to you! Happy New Year.
I hope you do feel proud about how you keep going, because not only do you do that but you help the rest of us do that as well. You keep going and you keep an entire community going. That’s an impressive feat.
My word for 2022 was DIFFERENT. It helped me get thru rough times by reminding myself that I'm a different person from who I used to be, my life is different from my past, and, to quote Mama Cass, "It's not so bad to be different." I've come to terms with the fact that I'll always face struggles because I'm neurodivergent--my brain works differently from others. It's okay to make changes as I go because that's how I grow. It's okay to not be consistent with some things. I've learned that the way to keep my planner system working for me is to constantly make tweaks so it still feels new and interesting to me. And thanks to you, I've learned I don't have to apologize for the way I am. I don't have to explain my mental health issues to everyone or even anyone. (I still do sometimes out of habit, but it's less often now than it used to be.) I don't have to waste my energy trying to make people understand what they're never going to. Because they are not me.
Wow, this comment was actually therapeutic for me! Thank you, Cindy, for sharing your thought processes and doing all that you do. You're an amazing person. Much love to you and your family.
2022 was for us, and it sounds like you too... "challenging." With our medically complex girls and with covid restrictions really lifting, my eldest complex kiddo has spent 63 days in the children's hospital...5 of those stays were on the PICU floor and 2 of those stays were intubated. Her disease really took a turn this year that we weren't expecting, but we also learned so much more about advocating for our kiddos and learning what their thresholds are for illness.
One word: exhausting.
Stressful could also work, but exhausting was the first to come to mind.
"I want to model my authentic self without shame." Holy crap, Cindy. That is the most powerful mantra I've heard in forever. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us!
Your observations about the "visualize yourself in a year" type excercises from the POV of someone with aphantasia (also me!) was incredibly helpful for me to pin down why I've always had such trouble with them! Thank you!!!
2022: progress
In life, health, every element of my life I have progressed
My end of year review word would be "slacker"
I kind of slacked on all of goals. I just felt super overwhelmed and when I'm overwhelmed I tend to draw into myself and do even less of what needs to be done.
I feel like your word should be overwhelm instead of slacker. It gives yourself more grace.
@Susan DeNapoli that's probably a better way go view it. I just feel super lazy for not doing things I know I should!
Despite the fact that your reflections are deeply personal, I appreciate your willingness to share with us.
I totally have that too. I literally see nothing in my mind when I close my eyes and never really understood visualization I always just thought of words and ideas.
The best word I can think of to describe 2022 is bumpy. Ups and downs, and often uncomfortable, but hey at least I'm in motion.
2022 was overwhelming
Def recommend using a medication app! I use Round. You set a time frame for when you want to take each med, and it’ll send a reminder on the hour and 10 mins before the time frame ends if you hasn’t recorded it yet. It’s very customizable (and simple to set up), with both scheduled and as needed meds. I also get a ton of brain fog so it’s been VERY helpful, both to remember to take stuff and to check if it’s been long enough to take the next dose of a PRN med
Cindy, you did a "letter" to yourself, it's this video.
My word for 2023 is Reset. In 2022 lots of things in my life stayed minimised by the world events of the last few years and I need to reset and reboot my life and engage more in the world
2022 for me was about growth, as a family, as a person, and as a partner. It was a lot of change, but im looking forward to seeing how next year will build on that growth even more.
😮 omg. I’m also an artist that can’t see images in my mind! Have about 2-4 layers of thoughts running stream-of-conscious at all times, and can, with much energy, imagine the steps to take to make something -cook or bake, rearrange the house, make repairs or build something.
My word for 2022 would be loss.
In January I realised that despite trying for ten years, in not going to be able to walk, then I broke my hip falling from a chair to the floor so my joints are really messed up now.
I haven’t been able to pee for a whole year, so I’ve realised that I’m going to be dependent on catheters for ever now too.
However I survived my doctor cutting my pain meds from 8 a day to 2 a day suddenly without warning, which has changed the way I can do things and narrowed my world down, but I survived it without becoming an addict of anything, though I can see why people would choose to go down that route.
I had a phone call a week ago that the doctor is going to stop all my pain meds, but my prescription still went through for this month, so that’s a bonus.
There ARE some movements happening to restore a reasonable amount of pain meds to chronic pain sufferers (including non terminal). I’ve been following some things on UA-cam and certain institution and advocacy groups, although they vary from state to state…if you want more info LMK. Best wishes to you!
Rollercoaster. This year was so up and down for us. A lot of fun stuff, a lot of big milestones, but also a lot of challenges.
When you said it was hard to be an adult without your parents, I felt that. And my parents are still alive even. But that makes us stronger. Another reflection I’ve done that I wish I would have done before setting goals was I wrote down my top 10 moments of 2022. Not top 10 best but just the top 10 moments that defined this year for me. I got it from Rhett and Link’s earbiscuits podcast.
I'm very impressed with your honest and candid examination of your 2022 goals, Cindy. It's both educationally practical and also inspiring to see how you powered through the Reflections (and Makeslife really did a good job with the questions and prompts!). Thank you for this video!!
I hope, though, you don't mind if I point out that maybe 2022 reflections should include more context in your case? What I mean by that is: 2022 is the first full year of your life in Denver. You'd lived all your life in CA and moved to Denver in summer 2021. This was such a major change for you and for Jesse and both kids. Would it make any difference to your review if you had kept the context of such a life-changing move in the forefront of your mind? Maybe give yourself more acknowledgement and recognition for simply coping with Change and, especially, with the heavy lifting of new school systems for the kids and new health systems for you and Sunny? To me, you were an absolute POWERHOUSE this year, Cindy. Love and lots and lots of hugs
I’ve finished my 2022 reflections already. It took me a few days to complete it in between everyday life. Thank you for sharing yours, I was looking forward to hearing about it.
My word for 2022 is exhausting, honsetly...
Boundaries describes 2022 for me
2022 We got custody of my step son so he now lives with us full time. I got a 2 jobs for the first in 13 yrs. We decided to make a big push to paying off our debt. We are feeling good about the changes to come in 2023.
Letters to my future self never made any sense to me. I can't visualize things too far in the future. I have enough to cope with today and the future will take care of itself. Not that I don't do goals but chronic illness can so mess with that as you know. One word for 2022 unexpected.
Tfs Cindy. 2022 was EXHAUSTING...physically, mentally and spiritually. I've spent the last several days reflecting and setting up my new catch-all. I'm praying that 2023 will be about resilience and refocus.
Thank you so much for this. I’ve been trying to work through it, seeing your approach has given me some new ideas/thoughts on the prompts. 😍😍
Thanks for sharing this exercise. I need to do something similar. I've only recently found your channel and I really think you're cool peeps. The hubs is on the transplant journey after finding out in 2018 he had unchecked fatty liver disease for most of his adult life. It's been a ride and things are well so much so that risks outweigh benefits currently.
Also MUSE is hands down the best concert experience I've ever had. Ever. Mind blowing and awe inspiring.
Also, I used to be a dialysis nurse. Hemo, not peritoneal but I bet it does make you feel better. Sending positive vibes.
My 2022 was about clearing. My 2023 will be about simplifying.
The word that comes to mind for 2022 is enlightening
A letter to your future self could just be your favorite fart joke? Then you'd be guaranteed a giggle when you're reflecting.
My dad died from Alzheimer’s last month so I’m holding off on doing any reflecting for a while since I don’t want it to be overly focused on sadness. I really hope getting on dialysis goes well for you Cindy. ❤
I can't do the letters to my future self, either. It's just too...squishy? Ephemeral? IDK. Not for me, either.
Interesting. There were more good times than bad but 2022 came with “interesting” challenges both to who I thought I was, who I am, and who I want to be. My word of the year was “grace” and I needed to give it as much as accept it for myself. I’m still in the midst of ‘becoming’ so my word of 2023 will again be “grace” for transformation isn’t easy for the one being transformed nor others in the sphere.
🌈☀️🌺enjoy your last week 2022😎🤩🥳
Thanks for this.
2022 was emotionally exhausting.
I have aphantasia too, and I try to be creative and artsy 😂
Changeable
For the "letter to myself" bit, I just drew the stick figure meme of the guy with a stick with the "c'mon, do something" XD I too have aphantasia (and also know how weird that is as a creative!) but I never really thought of that being a correlation as to why I hate these types of visualization woo. Makes total sense, however.
One word for 2022, rollercoaster. Started taking better care of myself (yay!), hearing the details of how my friend was killing in the Chirstams parade last year (heartbreaking) but the bastard got life in prison.
2022 for me was change. I started a new job and my big kids started highschool… So lots of changes this year…
To sum up 2022 in one word would be unfocused. Pretty much none of the things I wanted and needed to accomplish got done.
Me too
