You know what? As difficult as this year has been, when I think about what I'd like next year to look like, a lot of it "more of the same," and that makes me feel a little better about myself. That is to say, rather than kicking off a bunch of new habits, I want to get a little better at some already-established healthy habits.

I exercise daily, but I'd like it to become a little more intense. I keep my home somewhat tidy (tidier than I've ever kept it before), but my work space is a bit messy, so I could focus on that, too. I took it upon myself to go back to talking to strangers more this year out in public, and maybe next year I will try to rekindle a little more of my bubbly, friendly warmth that I feel like I've been missing for about a decade now. But I'll have to take that one especially slow, because it's easy to run out of steam, and retreat back into isolation. Baby steps.

Good luck with your goals, Eve! I think you have a real shot at achieving them. We can do this!
