Reflections & Lessons of 2022: Powerful takeaways on what we've learned going into 2023

Things we learned in 2022 and things what we're leaving behind

The end of the year is always a time to reflect on our lives, the events of the year, what we've gained, what we might have lost, and as many are set to make their resolutions or intentions for the coming year, I wanted to ask people what they have learned in 2022 and what are the main takeaways from this year as we head into 2023. So I asked some of my favorite people on Twitter in my personal growth, lifestyle blogging, and travel community what they have learned this year.

For many, this year was the year the lockdowns were lifted. For others, it meant starting new paths after the stress of the pandemic and for others, it was about trying to get back to 'normal' life after the pandemic. So many world events have happened around the world as well.

“In the New Year, never forget to thank to your past years because they enabled you to reach today! Without the stairs of the past, you cannot arrive at the future!” ― Mehmet Murat ildan

What have I learned in 2022?

On a personal level, I have learned so much about myself this year especially in terms of what I can achieve when I set my mind to it. I am also so grateful for the incredible people I have in my life. I have learned this year even more than ever that true friendship really is being able to pickup where you left off even after not seeing each other for a decade! I have worked on my uncomfortable feelings regarding public speaking, going 'live' on Instagram and Facebook, and not minding the public spotlight. I have to admit, this has NOT COME NATURALLY it's the EFT! I have been working intensively with EFT for public speaking and putting myself out there all this year and a year ago, I would never have been OK going live on Instagram :D . Looking forward to way more live events next year!~

On a professional level, I started a super intensive Level 3 Master program which has opened my eyes even further than I could have imagined and made me so incredibly grateful to have this incredible gift of confidence, clearing the emotional charge to past events, and helping people move forward. I am constantly learning from my clients who are a constant source of inspiration for me and I am blessed every day with this job.

So without further ado, let's see what people learned this 2022 to take into the new year. What about you? Leave your learnings in the comments below!
