Following the Omicron wave, scientists predict the following events in 2022.
Consider a day in the not-too-distant future when you can arrange that summer trip to Italy or when you won't have to remember to take off your graduation mask. After the previous 25 months, it may seem impossible to forget about the pandemic for even a moment — after all, the coronavirus has gotten our hopes up before.

RESET
If you are reading this then we are now living in the year of 2022. Making it this far in life is an accomplishment in itself. I honestly thought we would have flying cars and hoverboards by now. The pandemic has brought all of us an opportunity to look within, rather than looking at the world for answers. It’s given us an opportunity to look more in the mirror, reflecting with our reflections. We all have goals and it’s very important to dream, but it’s also just as important to rest and release the pressures that consume us on a daily basis. You can only dream if you sleep ironically. Recharge, reposition and have patience with yourself. I like to see the beginning of the year as a reset button. Nothing that happened last year matters. Imagine if you treated everyday like this, especially the rough ones. Nothing that happened yesterday matters, all that matters is that you try your best and love what you put out into the world. Do what makes you happy, because all the money in the world won’t fill your void if you are not at peace within. My plans this year are to commit to my growth, and emitting positive energy regardless of what trials come my way. I’m choosing to relax and let everything that is supposed to happen find it’s way to me. Journaling is a form of release for me because I am often overthinking and imagining the worse scenarios. In those intimate moments of writing I am free, abundant, and honest. No one to say that this is wrong or that is right. I look at the pen as my paintbrush, allowing me to be authentic and as imaginative as a child. Storytelling is a fine art and craft that I admire and take pride in. We all have a story, and each of them is important. You are the main character in the storyline. You choose when this page turns. The daily routine of your life creates habits that you want and others you despise. I committed to my daily routine to make sure I feel comfortable in my own skin. I look at our bodies as our true homes. We should all want our house to be nice and neat. Clear that mental trash that’s in your head, recycle your efforts and put it towards doing something productive. It could be riding a bike, giving old clothes to the less fortunate, or even reading a book. Life is an experience that you have a opportunity to do something new every day. Where we can create just as we have been created. I make sure to love myself and the person who I see in the mirror. There use to be times when self love was not a priority on my to-do list. Then I realized it makes a difference in my day to day life. Discipline is needed in this life to reach goals, but if you burn out all your fuel before you reach the goal you’ll never make it there. On the journey pit stops are effective, not only is it a place of rest, its also a point to see how far you came even if you haven’t reached your destination yet. I am open to explore and to adventure, digging deeper into my self discovery journey. Certain things that are within you make you who you are, but it’s also things about you that may surprise and peak your interest. Find those things and share them with the world. The success you seek is right outside your comfort zone!

Fire
The best shower I ever took was the one at my friend’s house after the fire. It was hot and steamy. The beating water draped my body in soothing comfort. The soap was fragrant with lavender and rose. The towels were plush and neatly folded; the dry clothes, smokeless and warm. It was a shower of gratitude, a sanctuary where I could mourn and weep in disbelief. A town wiped out. Our house still standing but without heat or water. We were lucky. So lucky. It was a shower of miracles.

It’s Time We Reconnect Our Bodies With Mother Earth
My feet were sore from having cycled for the last two hours in shoes meant for looking good. It was the first time I had stepped out of my house to meet a friend after five months of a nationwide lockdown. After being cooped up indoors for so long, I was ready to try anything to make me feel alive again — even if it involved a spontaneous decision to cycle in an expensive blouse, tight jeans, and heels. Anything to get the blood flowing.

A Circadian Rhythm Resolve for the New Year
Nature can a be such a resource for us to learn our own natural rhythms. In daily life we can at times pick up the pace or rhythm of the life around us. It's natural to meet the day during life with what we have available to offer. We might have a schedule to keep and it might have a pace that varies.

I Saved the World
How Humanity Saves Itself No matter who we are. We all want to feel better. We want to express ourselves to our emotions. We often externalise these impulses rather than changing ourselves first. This emotional or spiritual need is experienced by most, even by those who don't make a formal religious commitment. Yes, 'we' is the collective experience of all of us. Yet there is no escaping our individual egos and the experience of the "I".
