Studies have shown that people succeed in business and personal situations more often when they set clear and achievable goals. With 2022 already in motion, there's no better time for you to set goals for yourself. Consider striving for some of these four achievable goals for 2022.

Get moving. One of the more popular New Year's resolutions involves getting healthier and exercising more. While many people don't stick with this goal for more than a few weeks, you might benefit by changing how you think about it. Give yourself a break from work or chores and spend time with yourself. Depending on the weather, getting some fresh air can also give you added benefits.

Practice active listening. This interpersonal communication skill allows other people to feel more connected to you because you're taking an interest in what they say. This can help you forge lasting relationships.

Create a work/life balance. With so many people working from home, it can be easy to fall into the habit of working longer hours. You might find work cutting into your time with your family. Give yourself a hard stop time every night in which you don't answer work emails. You should work to live, not live to work.

Stop taking matters seriously. The sooner you understand that taking things personally is unnecessary and exhausting, the sooner you'll be liberated from other people's opinions. You might find that your self-esteem increases and you'll have more control over how you respond to your surroundings.

Take time for yourself in 2022 to make a positive change in your life. Even if you don't know what else you want for 2022, you'll be on the right path to a better and healthier you in your work environment.
