It’s back! The FUN annual activity my family and I have been doing for the past four years. The name changes slightly every year but the concept is the same. It’s called ‘22 for 2022′ and it’s essentially where you capture 22 FUN intentions for the year.
I first heard about this idea on one of my favorite podcasts and I’ve adopted it and been encouraging my family and Happy Healthy Caregiver community to join in on the FUN. I even created a fresh new FUNsheet for you to use!
Resolutions and goals can be heavy but this activity is all about whatever your definition of FUN is.
Steps to Create your 22 for 2022 List
- Download the FUNsheet by entering your information here.
- Write down 22 things that you want to do, try, have, achieve, be, or go to at some point in 2022.
- Post it where you can see it. Perhaps on your desk, fridge, walk-in closet wall, or bathroom mirror. You could also add it as your computer desktop or phone’s wallpaper.
- Optional: Share it socially for even more accountability and use the hashtag #22for2022 and tag Happy Healthy Caregiver on Instagram.
To offer you some ideas, here’s the list I created for 2021. This may help spark some of your own ideas!
Since I’m looking at this sheet all year long. It’s fun to make it colorful. If you can’t think of 22 things, don’t stress about it. Having some blank boxes allows you the flexibility to add something mid-year.
Tip: If you want to do something a specific number of times, draw little checkboxes. Like 12 checkboxes for each month.
Some ideas I’m pondering for 2022
- Get a monthly massage or facial
- Visit Dollywood
- Get a new car
- Learn a TikTok Dance
- Try Dim Sum
More ideas to come! I’ll share my list with you once it’s complete.
A FUN family tradition these past few years has been that my family finalizes and shares their list on New Year’s Eve day. We go someplace yummy for lunch and do a big reveal. Doing this activity with your family allows you to share some of the same items and help each other check them off. Get your care recipient involved in this activity, too!
