SETTING MY INTENTIONS FOR 2025 – HOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL
Approaching 2025, and this time of year I’m always excited about the chance to reset. A new year brings a fresh slate, and an opportunity to refocus on what truly matters. For the past few years, I’ve chosen three words to guide me through the new year. Last year, my words were CONNECTION, CALM, and CARING. They were easy to refer back to as opposed to a goal. I kept these words written down in my “NOTES” on my phone, to easily refer to and be reminded of. This is how I’ve set my intentions for 2025…
CHOOSING MY WORDS FOR 2025
This year, my words are a bit similar to last years….. I suppose maybe I still need to work on them? Slowing down, improving my relationships, and striving to keep it all together! That’s what these three words exemplify!
1- STILLNESS. This will remind me to slow my mind down and find joy in the present moment. It will also help me immensely, with my migraines!
2- BOND. This is to help me remember that every phone call, every visit, and every text matters more than I realize sometimes. My focus will especially be with my three sons.
3- BALANCE. This is always a challenge for me. Keeping my physical, spiritual, and mental health in check is a daily effort. Thinking about my priorities helps in this department.
STARTING SMALL AND STAYING REALISTIC
When it comes to setting goals, I’ve always believed in starting small. I like to think of it as baby steps. Honestly they are how it starts and how I keep moving forward. Achieving big things doesn’t require giant leaps. It’s really about consistency, and deliberate actions over time. Being realistic is also important. Break each thought up into smaller parts or pieces. Make sure you look back every once in a while and notice your progress!
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GOALS AND INTENTIONS
To me there’s a difference between setting goals and living with intention. Goals are specific and measurable…. like growing my business or steps towards personal connections. Intention, on the other had, is about how I want to feel and show up each day. This year, I want to approach my work and personal life with more clarity and purpose, and stay true to what brings me joy and fulfillment.
REFLECTING ON YOUR YEAR AHEAD
As you think about your goals or words for 2025, consider how you’d like to be remembered. What are your values? What makes you the happiest? Start small, stay realistic, and let your intentions guide you. Here’s to a year of STILLNESS, BONDING, and BALANCE!!
