2025 "Ins" and "Outs" or Goals? or...
I like the idea of a fresh start. The odds are we ditch our resolutions in the first week, right? I’ve seen people try goals for each month of the year…it makes it less intimidating. I’ve seen people just choose a word they want to represent their year. I think whatever works for you or motivates you or gets you excited…go for it!
I used to create actual vision boards. Then it transitioned to me saving images on a Pinterest Board…then me totally forgetting. This year I put one together on Pinterest, wrote out some goals and chose a word, so here we go….
My Word is “Build”. I actually saw someone else have this word, and it slapped me across the face. I knew that was my word too.
Here are the images I saved on my 2025 Vision Board:
ANDDDDD Here are my resolutions or goals:
The biggest for me this year is to stop buying stuff!!!!! I’ve seen so many people also share they want to stop with over-consumption. It’s not surprising. Every person I follow influences me to buy something. I get perfectly curated ads based on the videos and posts I see and like…it’s incredibly easy to purchase something in one click. That’s why we’re all just buying crap non-stop. NON-STOP!
In the past, when I’ve encouraged something like a “no buy July”, I had small business owners DM me and rip me…saying it’s posts like that that kill them. Now I refuse to take the blame for that, but I understand it’s gotta be hard af to be a small business owner. I don’t have set rules other than…do I really need this? Let’s wait 24 hours and see if I really do. I’m starting off in January only buying necessities. I will have a few vacations this year, a wedding etc…I know I will be buying things that aren’t necessities, but I refuse to just be doing it daily. I just read this book-an easy read-and the author gave up spending for a year.
2. Have a Mommy/Olive day once a quarter
3. Read 20 minutes a day-yes, audio books count
4. Read Ingredients in food/products
5. Stop Scrolling
6. Reduce Added Sugar
7. Take a Class-Learn Something New
I hope 2025 treats you well and is your best year yet!
Love,
