“The ticking clock of the New Year reminds us: time is not to be spent, but invested wisely in purpose and meaning.”
― Aloo Denish Obiero
I cannot believe it is 2025! It seems surreal that Y2K was 25 years ago!?!? I cannot be that old… can I? I remember being on the “landline” phone with my BFF freaking out right before it changed to midnight and….. nothing happened!
This quote really got me thinking about my goals and what I wanted to do with this next year. What do I want my year to look like, who do I want to become, what do I want to do with this next year, what are my goals?
Although, sometimes I wish there was a pause button to freeze time here and there, one thing that I do like about the new year is a fresh start! I am a very goal oriented person so I love making and setting goals for myself.
This year, I want to focus more on being consistent (Yes, my word of the year is “consistent” more on that later!). If anything these past few years have taught me that I cannot pour from an empty cup. For me to be the Mom, Wife and Teacher I want to be, I need to take care of myself too.
Other goals I have include:
⭐ Working out at least 3x a week
⭐ Reading 2 books a month
⭐ Gratitude/Devotional each morning to start my day
⭐ Mindfulness and being present in the moment
⭐ Daily morning & evening routines
⭐ No scrolling on my phone before bed
And I am sure I will have more to add to this list eventually! But I think this is a great start for now!
Why consistent? Because I do not need to be perfect in what I do or how I do it to see growth, progress or change. What I do need to see those things is being consistent. Doing a little each day is better than not doing anything at all. Small steps each day matter too!
What are some of your goals for 2025?
Do you have a word of the year for 2025?
As always, I hope that you have found this information useful and helpful to you!
Merci,
