I found out something shocking about myself few days to the end of 2022 and even though that character or should I say emotion shocked me, It just made me realize that I need to be more aware of myself and emotions better.
It really troubled and disturbed me a whole lot that I had sleepless night because I didn't see myself as that kind of person.
But since there was no use crying over spoilt milk, I put it at the back of my mind to discover myself and emotions better this year. Knowing and understanding my emotions would help me sort through them better and be at peace with myself.
We welcomed a new year yesterday 01/01/2023 and as much as I want to write down my goals for the year, I haven't been able to and I don't know why.
I try to review how I spent my year every 31st of December and after carefully assessing the previous year, I would like to say it was a good run.
I ticked off most of what I wrote down in the beginning of the year. Even though I wasn't able to completely achieve my goals I did achieve some of what I didn't even write.
A few of my goals for the previous year
FITNESS
One thing I want to take more seriously is my fitness life. I started last year but I stopped since school resumed. It's not easy starting back though but I have to because I don't understand where this big stomach is coming from.

SKIN
That being said..I really want to be intentional about my skin. I want a glowing and flawless skin especially my face.
I have had really bad reactions on my face before and I know how I felt then.
One thing a clear face does is boost your self esteem and confidence so I want to take care of my skin properly this year.
FOR THE LOVE OF BOOKS
In 2022 I wrote about wanting to read a lot of books. I did not read a lot but I did read a few good ones and they impacted me greatly so this year I'm going to take that goal more seriously and read a lot of books.
Hopefully I would be able to do a lot of those book reviews too.
HIVE ☺️
Im going to be more intentional about HIVE also. I'm still getting to know my way around here but I'm sure using it frequently and connecting with people on here would really help me faster.
Because hive has helped me know more about myself and I'm not even going to deny that.Writing on here would make me understand myself better as a human being.
NURTURING FRIENDSHIPS
I'm also trying to nurture a lot of relationships. Good relationships build you into a better person and I'm trying to carry my friends along with me in any great opportunity I come across so we can all win together.
I would like to build my circle of friends from now so by the time we start achieving big things we would have a community of like minded individuals that started from somewhere together.
I still have a lot of personal and financial goals I want to achieve so I'm going to make use of this new year's goals rush to motivate myself and get things done faster without pressuring myself too much.
FINAL TOUGHTS
Because one thing I have realized about myself is that even though it might take me longer than my peers to achieve something I'm at peace knowing that on my way to getting there I'm having life changing experiences.

Happy New Year ❤️🎊🎆
Quite an interesting post dear friend.
You sure have a lot on your bucket list for this year...
Self-improvement and attainment are sure a way to start your year.
It is great having you here on the hive blockchain, do have a wonderful year ahead and wishing you luck on all your above listed achievement list.
Thank you! I'm very focused on self improvement this time around.
I wish you a wonderful year also.
Hi Teminike,
Nice to meet you. Your goals are achievable. It's just about intentionality and consistency.
And, you are so pretty 😘
Yeah it is.
Thank you for the compliment ☺️
Hi @teminike
It is a positive sign that you want to grow and better so many things about your self. It's inspirational.
We even have some similar goals, I can absolutely relate on the part of nurturing relationships. Sometimes I get too comfortable in my relationships with people that I forget to check up on them, have meaningful deep conversations about things that matter or even make them smile.
It's one major thing I need to pay more attention to.
Since one of your goals is to read more books, I want to recommend "Atomic Habits" by James Clear. It will help you in your quest to accomplish your goals.
Good luck dear☺️
Thank you! It’s nice to see that we have similar goals and I can relate with the part where you get too comfortable and not check up on your friends. I hope you also do better this year and nurture your friendships 😊. Atomic habit is a great book, I started it a while back but didn’t get to finish it but I will definitely pick it back up and finish it this time around.
Did you also include glowing in your new year resolution? Because that's what you've been subconsciously doing, it's what you're still doing hahaha. Goal-getting is attractive, I'm hoping you can count your blessings by the end of the year
Dear @teminike,
Our previous proposal expired end of December and the Hivebuzz project is not funded anymore. May we ask you to review and support our new proposal (https://peakd.com/me/proposals/248)?
Thank you for your help!
