I’m not the type of girl to set goals at the beginning of the year. I’ve always just been the “do it when it feels right” kinda girl. This year feels different than past years though. It feels like things are about to change for the better.
This year, I’m writing my goals out and I’m working on changing my mindset. I’m more motivated and determined this year than I have been any other year. It feels like a fresh start and I’m so excited to speak my goals into existence, and put in the hard work to make them happen. Here are the 5 major goals I want to accomplish this year.
- Take control of your mindset. You’re the only person who has the power to change it. How you think is so powerful. The best part about it is, nobody else can tell you how or what to thing. It’s totally in your control. This year I want to take active steps to change my mindset about certain things. Specifically, things that I may find hard or don’t want to do. My goal is instead of looking at tasks or hard things as something I HAVE to do, they’re something I GET to do. I’m taking back the power and strengthening my perspective this year.
- Continue therapy. Be the most mentally sound you’ve ever been. I started therapy in about the middle of 2024 and it has made such an impact in my life. I didn’t start therapy because of a certain trauma or event that happened. I started therapy because over time I was beginning to feel less like myself. I was feeling sad, lost, and confused. It was beginning to affect my relationships with other people. Specifically, my relationship with my partner. After a lot of hesitation, I finally decided I wanted to begin therapy, and it’s one of the best things I did all year. Just having an unbiased individual there to give me advice and feedback has been so beneficial, even it’s just talking about the simplest things. I want to take that into the rest of 2025 and continue to be mentally healthy.
- Make better financial decisions. Think of your current and your future family when making big purchasing decisions. I’ve never been great with money, but now that I’m married, and we’re planning our future, it’s going to be so important to make good financial choices. I want to get up on our feet this year and really figure out how to work with our finances correctly. Money is such a hard thing, but I’m determined to learn how to manage it properly.
- Run a half marathon. Take care of your body and prove to yourself that you can do hard things. This is the scariest goal on the list. It terrifies me. I don’t want to let myself down and I don’t want to be looked down upon by others if it’s something that I can’t accomplish. One thing I’ve realized is that I miss being an athlete. Being an athlete has made up a majority of my life. Then after high school it all stopped. It was by my choice, but I miss that part of my life. However, I am scared to take the steps to get to where I want to be. I’m scared because it’s going to be hard. I’m going to have to work harder than I’ve ever worked before to accomplish a half marathon. But, I want to prove to myself that I can do hard things. It’s going to hurt and some days I’m not going to want to keep pushing, but I want to prove to myself and to everyone else, that with hard work, you can do whatever you put your mind to.
- Be the best wife. Communicate and make space for each other. I want to be more intentional with my actions this year. This goal shouldn’t be too overly hard to accomplish because my wife is incredible. She takes such good care of me and always knows exactly what to do. I want to be the best version of myself, so I can be the best wife to her. Building a foundation over the course of our first year of marriage is going to be so important. I’m so excited to keep growing and evolving with her. I learn something new about her every day. I still get butterflies and nervous bubbles in my stomach when I’m around her. All I want is to make her happy. As long as I’m working on the other 4 goals above, while trying to be the best wife, I think I’m going to crush this goal. The best version of me, will translate into being the best wife to her.
That’s it. 5 big goals that I have for 2025. There will probably be smaller goals that I would like to do and achieve along the way, such as writing more, reading more, etc, but listed above are my big ones. It’s not going to be easy and it’s going to take a lot of time, practice, and patience, but I’m excited. This year is about making things happen. It’s about speaking my goals into existence, learning to rely on myself, and proving to myself that I can do hard things. I hope you prove to yourself that you can do hard things as well!
