Kelsea Ballerini has been writing "pages" of her thoughts and what she wants to do better in 2022, and then well, she ripped them all up and choose to take one day at a time.

Kelsea wrote to fans in a long post on Instagram, "Y’all. I’ve spent the last few days writing pages and pages of things I want to do to ‘better’ myself, my body, my relationships, my career, my life this year. PAGES. and then I realized that was only going to bring more anxiety and unrealistic expectations into my world, and I just don’t have the room for it this year."

She added, "So I ripped the pages out and replaced it with 'doing my damn best.' And that’s it. That’s the goal for the year. Because maybe the ‘better-ing’ happens when we just show up and see what meets us simply where we are. Just thought I’d share in case any of your algorithms were also sending you into a shame spiral of not being good enough already. We are. 🤍."
