Instead of the usual January pressure of resolutions, people across the web are shaking things up. Forget restrictive promises – 2024 is all about the #InsandOuts! These viral lists blend trend predictions with personal aspirations, creating an idea of what’s hot and what’s not in the coming year.
Think of an #InsandOuts list like a personalized mood board.
“It’s about what speaks with you, not just social media trends,” senior Isabella Sanchez said. “My ‘in’ for this year is exploring different mediums, but my ‘out’ is comparing my work to others online.”
Mental health awareness takes center stage in many lists. Self-care practices like meditation and mindful journaling are trending “ins,” along with unplugging from social media to combat negativity.
“It’s about taking control of my digital space,” senior Channing Arkless said. “My ‘out’ is mindless scrolling before bed, and my ‘in’ is using that time to read a good book.”
The beauty of #InsandOuts is their flexibility.
“It’s not a one-size-fits-all thing,” Arkless said. “My list changes as I do. I might add a new skill I want to learn, or take something out if it’s not working for me.”
The fluidity empowers teens to set goals that feel authentic and achievable.
So, ditch the pressure and embrace the #InsandOuts trend. Create your own list, share it with your friends, and make 2024 a year of growth, exploration, and feeling good about who you are.
