22 Things I Learned in 2022 (Short Version)

2022 was a year like no other for me.

I went through online classes at the beginning of the year, a summer of growth in the middle, and face-to-face classes towards the latter half of the year.

I didn’t expect to learn as much as I did. But as I did my reflection in my journal, I realized I was a completely different person before and during the beginning of the year in comparison to how I am now.

So here are the 22 things I learned in 2022

1. I learned that the world isn’t going to end. (not anytime soon)
2. I learned I was free to make mistakes.
3. I learned to try new things and explore.
4. I re-learned how to make friends and talk to people.
5. I learned how to listen and be more interested in people.
6. I learned how to be more confident around people.
7. I learned how to set boundaries.
8. I learned how to have a better, more positive mindset.
9. I learned how to be grateful for the little things.
10. I learned how to take action and actually improve the things I noticed about myself.
11. I learned how to accept and be ‘more myself’ with other people.
12. I learned how to expel my negative thoughts.
13. I learned how to build and follow habits.
14. I learned how to organize my tasks.
15. I learned how to utilize systems (i.e. software) to help me achieve my goals.
16. I learned how to study better.
17. I learned how to ‘take notes’.
18. I learned how to make the most of what I read.
19. I learned how to write stories.
20. I learned how to clearly analyze and synthesize my ideas.
21. I learned how to take my ideas and turn them into something ‘more’.
22. I learned how to share my thoughts and ideas.

In conclusion, 2022 was a year of growth for me. I tried so many things and in the process, I learned a lot. All of these items on the list can be expanded into their own little stories.

I don’t think this list begins to capture the true growth that I went through during the year, and making it did help me to reflect on the things I did which will guide me to another year of growth and change for 2023.

I’ve broken up this article into smaller, mini-lists with longer explanations for each item. I’ve also compiled everything into one. long article.
