We want to start 2022 with a positive, hopeful note. So we reached out to visual artists and photographers who inspire us. We asked them to share resolutions for the next 12 months. It’s important not to pressure others or ourselves but to be mindful and have fun. Are you interested? Continue reading if you are!
My main resolution for 2022 is to have a little self-doubt and doubt as possible. I want to channel this energy into believing that I can do it, that my ideas are possible, and that my projects will succeed.
For a long time, I have been dreaming of moving to Berlin. Unfortunately, it hasn’t happened yet. However, I would like to live in Berlin for a month this year. This big dream can be turned into a small experiment. I hope to travel to Japan to visit the tea farms finally. Finally, I would like to organize an adventure with my mom.

Each year, when I get to the New Year’s resolutions question, I always come up with the same conclusion: “I won’t make any.” Freelance creatives and artists like myself have so much pressure and expectations. I will do my best not to add any more. This can also require effort. Maybe it sounds like a solution already?

I am looking for activities that allow me to get away from screens. You could surf or create something with clay. Your hands are busy, and you can’t just reach for your phone and get lost in endless social media feeds. Bicycling is my favourite form of exercise and meditation. Rodrigo Moraes is a great inspiration, and I would like to be more like him. I want to join other trekkers on long, challenging trips, meet them, and exchange greetings.

We are Serbian brothers. Our New Year’s resolutions reflect the current state of our relationship. I am the older brother, so I need to be more responsible. Bojan, a younger brother, is reckless, easygoing, and lives as though it’s his last.

I was looking for a solution that went beyond the usual areas of my life (education, career, home, etc.). Volunteering was my first idea. It used to be my primary source of joy back in Kazakhstan. It gave me a strong sense of community, which I greatly missed since moving to Germany. Next, I considered writing a cookbook. This was a dream I had for a while, but I don’t believe I’m qualified enough to do it.
I don’t know much about music. I have never studied music. I was also rejected by a school choir I wanted to join. Music is not for me. You have to devote a lot of time since childhood. I would not recommend music to my impatience. I discovered handpan music when I was a teenager. Since then, I have wanted to learn it, and I would like to do it this year!

It’s all in the end.
It can be exciting to start a new year, but it can also be daunting and stressful. While some of us may have big goals that scare us, others don’t know what we want. All of these scenarios, as well as others, are normal and valid. These resolutions should inspire you to take small steps and have more fun on your journey. Let’s make 2022 a year of creativity and fulfilment!
