Like usual, the full extent (however abridged it ended up!) of this process is kept to the confines of my journal. With Niko having entered our lives a month ago tomorrow, I am just glad I was able to get any sort of 'process' for this together! It is in the spirit of this that I actually landed on my centering idea for 2022 . . .
REIMAGINING
Reconfiguring (was a little too mechanical)
Reinventing (sounded like more 'trouble' than I think this will be)
Rediscovering (felt closer)
But 'reimagining' . . . this guiding concept has just the right tonality and timbre. 'Re' suggests a having done already of sorts, an amount of experience, a knowing. 'Imagine'/ 'Imagining' implies the WONDER of last year's centering concept, with my values of curiosity and creativity, as well as an intentionality/ sense of consciousness (a centering belief of mine) - when you 'imagine,' you are choosing, you are going out of your way to consider something, to bring it to life in your mind.
In 2022, I will continue to do what I've been doing here at the end of 2021 with the arrival of Niko: I will continue to reimagine how my life works, what wonder can be squeezed from the everyday, what I will discover, how I will feel, what I will notice . . . having Niko in our lives is allowing me to reimagine what I've already experienced and what I know. I'm so excited to keep reimagining my everyday with him, and to see how this shift will create shifts in how I see other parts of my life - my work, my family and friends, my interests . . . REIMAGINING.
Along with this guiding idea, I've revisited last year's New Years Intentions alongside the way I think of my values and such, and offer the following to myself as continued riffing:
BELIEFS: Consciousness + Love + Wonder + Vitality + Purpose =
VALUES: Simplicity | Kindness | Curiosity | Creativity | Growth
And that's where this abridged version of new year reflection ends . . . off to reimagine :)
