As the we bring in the new year, the age old question comes to mind. What will be my new year's resolution? What will I accomplish this year? How will I make this year better than before? Certainly, just getting here is an accomplishment in itself but how can we make the most of being here. The internet, books and wisemen are filled with guides, steps and advise so much so that just researching can be enough chaos to persuade anyone to give up. In an effort to streamline all that noise, here are my favorite picks to making the most of 2025!
1. First Step
All it takes is the first step whether you're wanting to improve your health, master a hobby or start a business. It all starts with the first step. The first step is the hardest but taking that step, be it, to the gym, picking up a book or reading what might just become your favorite blog ;) will give you the first breath of confidence in what you want to accomplish this year. Remember, don't sell yourself short you've made it this far!
2. Write it down
Take a marker and write where you want to be by December 31 on your mirror as a daily reminder that each day you are following your map to your destination.
3. Reflect
As we reach for that next chapter in our lives don't forget to take a moment to look back and celebrate your accomplishments thus far. Revisit those moments you'd like to do differently and stand tall, life is far from easy, be proud of remaining triumphant over life's journey.
4. Find your team
Find that person who is going to help hold you accountable to your goals this year. Set up a weekly chat to discuss progress. Work through challenges and help celebrate each step as you get closer to the new you.
5. Let go
There may be previous failures or countless reasons as to why you shouldn't stretch yourself beyond your comfort zone. This year work to let go of those emotions and fears. Understand that failure is simply life telling you to find another way.
Don't forget water, rest and good times with better people is life's fuel! It's my greatest wish that this year you accomplish all your goals and move forward to the next chapter in your life.
