My New Years intention is to "make space", meaning that I don't need to fill all my moments with productivity or outcomes. Leave more room for nothing, maybe it gets filled up, maybe it doesn't.

This is so thoughtful! I think I will practice this as well. My last year's resolutions failed. I ended up didn't get even one of my resolutions done at all. Though I realized not failing your resolutions is hard, I'm trying to make my resolutions more positive and detailed this year, such as getting a B2 level in Spanish. My last year's resolution was don't be lazy to learn Spanish (and I ended up being lazy). Another resolution is to take a walk every day, either during lunch or after work, because I feel refreshed after doing so.

My intention for 2022 is to consistently work toward learning new things, and growing both mentally and physically.

I don't need to do everything everyday, but as long as I keep coming back to the things I'm trying to learn and focus on, over time that will compound. Right now I'm learning javascript and SQL, but in a few months I will be on to something new! I'm also trying to grow my strength through kickboxing, yoga, and calistenics. Again that might change in a few months, but the goal is to keep coming back to these and exploring new things as I go.
