2023 Goal Review

We can all agree that 2023 was a weird year, right?

The thinking that went into my goals for 2023 was weird. I think I over stretched myself in so many areas, you can read that post to see how cryptic and delulu I was. I tried to follow Dave Ramsey's idea of the seven areas of life to set goals in. I set two goals in each category. (What was I thinking?!) In 2021, I followed this same principle BUT I quote " I am not going to put pressure on myself et al" HAHAHA 2021 Gabrielle seemed to be thinking more clearer than 2023 Gabrielle. I honestly don't know why I was so cryptic either. Was I embarrassed I was setting so many goals OR was I worried that if I shared my goals then I wouldn't accomplish them? I would love to have a conversation with 2023 Gabrielle when she wrote out her goals. 

SEVEN areas is a lot of different areas to focus on in one year. I took it even a crazier step forward by setting TWO goals in each of the seven categories. I was truly delulu with a lot of things last year.

My 2023 goals are as follows:

Out of the 14 total goals, I accomplished,4 goals; I attempted 7 goals; and I didn't even try 3 goals. 

I am pretty pleased about my accomplishments and attempts. The 3 goals I didn't even try, I can honestly say, I was very gung-ho about starting a business BUT it didn't get past that stage.  With the other two goals- Library/Gravity Vault Events and Learning Six new skills, those are definitely up in the air. Thinking about it now, I don't think I attended ANY events at the library and I stopped going to Gravity Vault in March so it was just both matters of circumstances. Learning Six new Skills..... I learned ALOT last year but skills I am not so sure about. 

I was REALLY proud of the two financial goals I completed: $5 Bill Challenge and the 100 Envelope Challenge. I was continually getting excited every time I was able to save a $5 Bill or stuff one of the envelopes. If you want to read more about those check out $5 Bill Challenge and 100 Envelope Challenge . FYI, For the Envelope challenge, all you need is envelopes you can get from Dollar Tree, you don't need to buy a binder or special envelopes for that challenge. 

You can read all about the 12 5K's I ran this year, under the label 12 in 12. It was a fun experience and I am pretty proud that I accomplished 10 out of the 12 5K's. One of the 5K's I was sick and the other one it was rainy and cold. I learned that I love a race with a great theme and if I can dress up, its even better. 

Check back tomorrow to see what non-delulu goals I am setting for myself this year. 

Did you set your year goals yet?
