not big on fresh starts at new years or birthdays but for some reason I'm feeling compelled to set new intentions for being 24

want to dedicate this year to repairing my relationship with my body and food bc I've been in a very bad place with that lately. it'll be a lifelong journey but I need to start somewhere.

want to dedicate this year to realistic but serious goals for ocd recovery. overcoming fear of recovery and addressing the avoidance habits I've developed both stand out as really important for me right now.

want to work on feeling more secure in knowing who I am. less unnecessary second guessing myself. less over-reflection on the specifics of things I said or did (this is tied to ocd but not the point necessarily)

want to work on being much more intentional with my words and actions but also much more forgiving of myself. want to start having conversations with myself the same way I would someone in my close circle. high standards but unconditional love.

want to deepen and expand my Jewish practice. level of observance is not necessarily a linear spectrum but ideally I'd like to look back when I turn 25 and see that I became "more observant" this year.

there are a lot of baby goals that fall under the deepen and expand Jewish practice goal but I definitely want to boost my Hebrew reading fluency! I'm at a decent decoding level but I wanna be ~~ fast ~~

started this thread with serious goals and ended with ~I wanna read FAST~ lmao oop
