Happy New Year! There’s something magical about the start of a new year…it’s like opening a blank journal, knowing you have the power to fill its pages with whatever story you choose. 2025 is here, and it’s bursting with potential for growth, change, and moments that will shape us in ways we can’t yet imagine. I usually put together my intentions for the year alone, but I thought I’d share my process with you this year, in case it helps you too!
Set Intentions, Not Pressure
Instead of overwhelming yourself with resolutions, try setting intentions. Resolutions often come with the weight of “success or failure,” but intentions allow room for growth. I usually think about how I want to feel this year. Energized? Grounded? Creative?
Ask Yourself:
- What brings me joy? Do more of it!
- What small steps can I take toward my dreams? Don’t forget that it’s the small steps that get you to the big step!
Embrace Progress, Not Perfection
Nobody’s journey is linear, and perfection is an illusion. Growth comes in waves, and sometimes the most meaningful changes happen in the small, everyday moments, such as the times you chose to keep going, even when it felt hard, and you may have felt like giving up.
My mantra for 2025 is Progress over perfection. Celebrate the little wins. They add up in ways you might not even realize. Think about what you want your mantra to be?
Be the Energy You Want to Attract
If you want 2025 to be a year of positivity, kindness, and opportunity, start by embodying those qualities. Smile more, compliment strangers, and support the people around you. The energy you put out has a way of finding its way back to you.
Dream Big, Act Small
Dreaming big is important - it’s what keeps us inspired. But achieving those dreams starts with the tiniest of steps. Break down your goals into manageable pieces and focus on what you can do today.
The Year Ahead
2025 is a blank canvas, and you are the artist - spoken like a true creative! There will be highs, and there may be lows, but every experience is shaping you into the person you’re meant to be.
Remember, you don’t need to have it all figured out. Just take it one day at a time, stay open to possibilities, and trust that you are exactly where you’re meant to be.
Here’s to a year of living fully, loving deeply, and embracing the beauty of the journey. I’m so excited for you!
