Goals For The New Year - 2025

Hello, lovelies! As the year comes to a close, I can't help but reflect on the past 12 months. I feel like this year has honestly gone by so quickly, and yet so much has changed. I've made big shifts in my career, began a wonderful new relationship with the man I love, and did a lot of personal growth. Though I don't know what the new year will bring, I do have a few personal goals that I plan on pursuing in 2025. Keep reading to dive into the details!

Dedicate More Time To Reading

Reading has always been a great joy of mine. I grew up loving the escape that a good book can provide and I often found myself reading two or more books at a time. As I've gotten older, though, I seem to have less and less time to curl up with a beloved book and get lost in that world again. I still love reading when I am able to, but it just has happened less frequently than before. While I am sure that the free time I will have in this upcoming year will look different than previously, I still plan on carving out those precious few hours to really enjoy reading again. Besides, my TBR (to be read) list is far too long!

Move My Body More

Due to the kind of job that I have, I spend much of my work day sitting. While this is fine for work, I really want to make more of an effort to make sure I am moving around more frequently. It doesn't necessarily have to be super intense workouts (though there is a time and place for those, too!), but I would be content with taking a 30 minute walk several times a week to make sure I get my steps in. I think that physical movement usually helps me to feel more accomplished and awake, so morning times may be the best time to get a good walk in.

Nurture My Creativity

I have always been someone who feels deeply connected to art in various forms. I love painting, writing, journaling, sketching, and more. I have so much fun when I am able to dedicate time to being artistic. Whether this comes in the form of painting something new or writing in my journal about recent events, I find that art is good for my soul. I would really like to dedicate more time to artistic ventures of all sorts. I did not paint very much in 2024, so the new year is a prime opportunity to get back into it. Plus, I have pretty much all the supplies I need already!

I know today's post was a shorter one, but I'm glad that I have been able to put down my goals for 2025 in writing. I hope the new year brings all of you readers peace, success, and great joy. Do you have any resolutions or goals for 2025? Let me know in the comments! Until next year, lovelies!
