22 Hard Things In 2022 | HOW I MADE MY LIST

[@aphoenix5681]

I literally kept pausing this, taking notes! It's been an honour following your IG. Your explanation of how you made your list is so so helpful! I'm looking forward to making my own for next year. Honestly, thank you so much! Biggest takeaway, my list should encourage not create pressure. 🥰

[@KatieZornes]

Yes!! Things we want to do!

[@WendyFoundHerHEA]

Thank you for posting again. When I found you about a month ago, I made a list of 5 daily things to do…simple things like get outside everyday, wash up and change clothes…I’ve been adding to that list and changing up the daily goals. I’m now going to the gym and working out 5 days a week. I was able to apply to jobs and landed one…and I actually feel strong enough mentally and physically to go back to work…Katie, your life is creating ripples. I’ve been contemplating what things I might put on my 23 hard things in 2023 list…and for the first time in a couple months, I have hope again and am looking forward to the future.

I love that distinction- focus on what you can do (what's actually in our control), not on the outcomes (often out of our control)

Watching this was so weird, because I think we're living the same life, but I'm a year behind. From our ages to weight loss/gain stories to struggles with depression and crawling out, it was like watching a video of what could be me at the end of next year. Thank you so much for sharing your story! Now I'm off to start my list 😁

[@knitty781]

And in the finding of yourself, you helped and inspired so many others. An unexpected side effect of your public declarations. First, I am proud of you. So proud and inspired. What you have done is amazing and for many so attainable. You showed us how to break down these hard things in to smaller bits to get through. You understand that getting through the fire of depression is a personal and solitary experience. My own list of 'hard things' has 13 items so far. Many include going through the mounds of stuff left by my husband after his death - paper, items, clothes. Keep going Katie. You've shown us all a path we didn't know existed.

You came up in my IG feed one day a few months ago. I normally don't look at suggested accounts, but your smile was the first thing I noticed and it was so warm and genuine. I've really enjoyed following you these past few months. Congratulations on all you have achieved and all you have worked for. I look forward to seeing 2023 in action!

[@nicolestapleton6564]

Her smile caught me too! Good job Katie! Hope you accomplish everything you set out to and more. Thank you for the inspiration ☺️

[@Afrikabyrne]

Yep me too. So infectious. She’s an incredible woman

[@jmw2114]

I started following you on TikTok a few weeks ago. Your story is similar to mine but I am steps behind about goal setting. Which is a goal for 2023! What I loved best was "Your list should encourage you, push you, grow you..." Wise words to goal-set by! Thank you!

[@alisiachiara]

I obviously don't know you personally, Katie, but I'm so proud of you! ❤ I so enjoy listening to you and watch you succeed, so thanks a lot for sharing it all with us! 🥰

[@suzannenolan70]

Thank you so much for sharing your process. I found you on TikTok and have sat and watched in awe of your achievements. Thank you so much for putting yourself out there and sharing with us. You are truly an inspiration!

[@angela897094]

Those last couple of lines made me tear up. Going from hairbrushing to half marathon running is incredible. I'm starting from the bottom just like you did, and knowing you got there is very inspiring. I'm looking forward to trying some hard things in 2023!

[@juliafukuda8583]

Sooooooo thankful I stumbled on this. Literally took out note paper for inspirational quotes and gentle reminders. Thank you!!!

[@debbiekoortzen1154]

Hi Katie, thank you for sharing your journey. I share so many of your feelings, fears and anxiety. You have no idea how encouraging your videos are to me. Thank you. 💐

[@jamiemcdonald2261]

I am working on my list. You are inspiring so many people including me. Thank you for sharing!

[@sarahross1079]

Thanks for all this back story. I appreciate you so much and I understand this journey very much.

[@NONAME-ne3oj]

thank you for sharing your story! this ist Nat... Coming over here from your instagram. ♥

[@MsLoganBailey]

You are so inspiring, and a list of hard things is just what I needed coming into the new year. I love your approach and how you explained listing the things that will help reach an overall goal. Life is a marathon of processes, not a sprint of gotta have it now. Thank You, Katie. Happy New Year!

[@theresadeaver1843]

Thank you for the inspiration! I am so happy you came up on my Instagram. ♥️

I’m so glad I came across your page on IG. Thank you for this video. You’ve given me a place to start.❤

[@lorenahanna1313]

I wonder when you started your list you could have imagined one effect would be that you would be an inspiration to others! That's a huge bonus!! Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing that!

[@KatieZornes]

I could not have imagined and I’m so grateful. 🥹♥️

[@karenjames1381]

I need more of you in my life!❤

Wow, I absolutely love this and am so glad I stumbled upon your Instagram page! I just lost my Dad on Thanksgiving and have been struggling with facing this next year. I feel so inspired by your list and the ways you came about deciding what to add - I definitely want to do some version of this! Also, I'm a therapist in private practice and I am going to be telling everyone to go be inspired and uplifted by you! So so awesome and grateful for you sharing!

[@dianekeppel5071]

Hi Katie. I am thoroughly enjoying your Instagram account and watching your videos on KZbin. You are an inspiration to me. It was very interesting to hear how you came up with your 2022 list. I'm starting a list for 2023 and I'm using the questions you asked yourself. Looking forward to following you in 2023!

[@KatieZornes]

I’m so excited for you!

[@Leeannsmiles]

Thank you for sharing you have been an inspiration and I can relate to a lot of what you have gone though. I’m going to make a list for this coming year for myself.

[@jenniferbroad3951]

This was SO helpful. Thank you. I’m going to use your questions and rework my list for 2023 ❤

[@KatieZornes]

♥️ However your list works for you is what’s best!

[@mhp2013]

Thank you so much for sharing this. I can’t tell you how encouraging and inspiring this is for me. ❤

[@pelorusjack007]

Love the list, planning my own this year! Can I ask where your swimsuit was from (the one you wore in the Tetons)? Thanks!

[@KatieZornes]

Hi! It’s a Speedo! I got it off Amazon. I do have it on my list on my website if you need it. Katiezornes.com But they have several options. I sized up one size.

[@pelorusjack007]

Thank you!!

[@alicemarchetti4340]

Hi Katie, so good to see you again🥰 I've already said, multiple times, that you're such an inspiration for me, and I think that the fact that I found your instagram account some months ago wasn't a coincidence. I struggle with anxiety and pretty bad fear of failure, and that's why I've always been a perfectionst and usually also a people-pleaser; at the end of the last year I wasn't feeling good, many self-destroying thoughts and very little hope in a better future, even if I was accepted in the med school of my dreams, just a couple weeks before. As you said, despite all the good things I had in my life, I couldn't really see them, cause I wasn't feeling good with myself... but at the beginning of 2022 I decided I didn't deserve any of the bad things I said to myself, and that in order to be a better person, I needed to start showing me, the exact same love and respect I've always shown to others. It wasn't simple, but I did it and guess what? I did pretty scaring things, definitely hard things, this year, that 2021-me couldn't have done! So yeah, I definitely can understand what you say, and I can't wait to see what we both can do in the future!!😍

[@KatieZornes]

Thank you 🤗

[@mcecil1]

You are amazing. You did 22 hard things and likely inspired others to do thousands of hard things too. That is amazing too! Thanks for sharing with us. 🤍
