Welcome, 2025!
Aloha, 2025! Each new year brings a fresh opportunity to reflect, reset, and realign with our purpose. As I look back on 2024, I’m reminded of the growth I’ve experienced and the lessons I learned. I never stop learning. I’m focusing on the goals and aspirations that will guide me through this new chapter.
2025 Focus
Here’s what I’ll be focusing on in the new year:
Be in the present moment. Getting caught up in plans or dwelling on the past is easy and familiar. This year, I will continue practicing mindfulness and finding peace and gratitude in the present moment.
Focus on things I control. Instead of getting overwhelmed, I’ll direct my energy into areas where I can make an impact and let go of the rest. It's easier said than done, but I’ll do my best.
Set smaller, manageable goals. In the past, I’ve sometimes set the bar a bit too high, which has led to stress and burnout. This year, to stay balanced, I’ll break my goals into smaller, achievable ones.
Be patient and kind to myself. Self-compassion is an ongoing journey. I’ll work on embracing my imperfections and treating myself with the kindness I’d offer a dear friend. Why do we often treat others better than we treat ourselves? Let it be a reminder to extend that same care to ourselves.
Continue to take risks. Though sometimes scary, taking chances has helped me grow unexpectedly. I’ve learned that I’m braver than I think. In 2025, I’ll keep stepping outside my comfort zone and embracing opportunities to live life fully. YOLO, baby!
Keep rediscovering myself. Self-discovery is progressing. Each day brings new insights about who I am and what I am becoming. I’m excited to keep learning and evolving.
Cultivate new friendships. Building connections can be challenging, but they are also so rewarding. This year, I will continue seeking meaningful relationships with people who inspire me and enrich my life.
Many of these goals are easier said than done. Nonetheless, I’ll give it my all. If I stumble or revert to old habits, I’ll remind myself of Maya Angelou’s wisdom: “Do the best you can until you know better. Then, when you know better, do better.”
Let's Get It!
As we step into the Year of the Snake, a symbol of transformation and renewal, I’d love to hear about your goals and intentions in 2025. Let’s encourage and support each other on this journey.
Happy 2025! May it be a year of beginnings, kindness, triumph, aha moments, and resilience. Let's get it!
Cheers!
