Thought I’d share a bit more on my word of the year, heal. Here’s my loose plan to heal in 2022.
Breaking down the idea of healing into 3 categories: Mind, Body, and Spirit.
Interestingly enough, as I was in Target one day last week, I found this 52 week journal of self-care.
My favorite kind of book/journal: hardbound and with beautiful photographs throughout.
Each week starts with a bible verse, then has space to write positive thoughts and ways to improve in each area.
This week, the focus is on the body. I’ll put myself out there a bit and share my 3 areas for my plan to heal in this area.
My Plan to Heal the Body
- Eat less sugar/more healthy foods
- Drink more water
- Exercise (yoga or walking)
- Spend more time outside
Results I Hope to Achieve with Body Healing
- Not to start with the obvious but of course, to lose some weight
- Hopefully, the weight loss will help with these dry scaly patches on my legs (pretty sure it’s psoriasis)
- More energy to get things done
- A healed body that naturally defaults to a happier mind and lighter spirit
None of my plan is really complex or new I suppose. The difference is that this year I’m going to take the time to actually take care of myself. Thinking of those tired oxygen mask/empty cup analogies but they are true.
Next week, if I’m not working, I’ll talk a bit about my plans for healing my mind or spirit and what happened this week in regards to healing my body. Pretty sure the chocolate chip cookie for breakfast wasn’t part of the plan but hey, the Christmas season doesn’t end around here until January 6. And I did drink my glass of water after breakfast and another one with lunch.
Jean, I love this! And your four steps are exactly what I hope to do. I have tried other things but I think your approach is the most attainable and logical. I plan on joining you in these steps. So thank you, my friend.

Glad to have a friend joining in with me! I’m so hoping to end this year feeling a lot better than I do right now (and it’s not that I feel bad, it’s just that I know I’m capable of feeling so much better). Hopefully, we’ll both have great success and feel great just not at the end of the year but throughout it as well! Happy New Year!
