50 Ways To Invest In Yourself In 2022

Happy new year It-Girls! I know we're already over half way through the month already but I definitely needed the extra time to ease into 2022. The first two weeks of the year can make you feel invincible, but for most of us, that new year glow doesn't last as long as we'd like. The spur of motivation we feel to change our lives begins to fade and those old habits start to creep back in, threatening to make us feel stagnant again. For some of us, that fresh start feeling doesn't come at all and we end up feeling like we've failed at the first hurdle. That was definitely the case for me and based on a lot of the responses from my Instagram polls, perhaps it was the same for you too! Whether you're still relishing in the 'new year feels' or in desperate need of some inspiration to get you going, this blog post has tonnes of ideas to help you kickstart your level up journey! Check out my 50 ways to invest in yourself in 2022 and let me know in the comments below what ways you'll be investing in yourself this year!
