Official Resolution Declaration Beginning March 2022
Setting year long goals and reporting out each month.
These are my yearly goals. It's a little late to call them New Year's Resolutions. Hopefully, this will lead to consistent reflection and personal growth. Thank you Matthew Dicks for the idea. Here they are.

120 push-ups per month
4 full-body strength training sessions per month using Apple Fitness +
4 yoga sessions per month via Apple Fitness +
Log at least 120 mindful minutes each month. This can be a combination of Apple Fitness + meditations, Journaling (DayOne), and the Calm app.
