Welcome to Week 1 of the “52 Weeks in a Year Photo Diary” project! My intention with this project is to complete a 356-day challenge of photographing one image a day. I have always wanted to stick to photographing every single day for a year, and this project helps me with that goal! Take a look at my New Year’s blog post here. Additionally, this is a great way to continue to sharpen all aspects of the foundations of this website: art, just for fun, lifestyle, and reflections. My plan is to also create blog posts every Friday for the next year (get some discipline and consistency in completing a creative task). For Week 1, take a look at how I have been resetting for the new year.

Something that I have been doing around this time of year is reflecting on the past year. I try to journal every single day to record events that happened during the day and process thoughts and situations. I have realized that I am my own “historian,” who documents my life. At the end of the year/start of the new year, I do a little highlight reel/recap of the past year. It’s been fun going through the different events that happened in the past 12 months.

Every year, I try to keep track of some healthy habits. I am trying to keep track of my sleep duration (💤), exercise/steps I’ve taken (❤️), and water intake (💧). When I get a new planner, I add in these little “emojis” on the monthly spreads to keep track of these habits.
