2023 Realistic Goals

Each year I always set out aspirations for myself, such as continuing to work on reducing my anxiety, becoming more confident in my work and everything that I do, things like that. I also like to put broad travel goals out into the world, as well as create specific, small, attainable goals (also known as SMART goals). I am going to write them all down in my blog for my own reference, as well as for whoever is reading this to get inspiration for your own goals!

Below are my various goals divided into categories:
