For me, the beginning of a new year is always a time for self-reflection. A time to consider if I'm where I want to be, what changes I may want to make, and what goals, if any, I want to set. And it's a time for me to reset my focus for the upcoming year. Because if I don't clarify my thoughts and write down my goals, dreams and intentions, then I won't accomplish anything. And there are definitely some changes I'd like to make in my life, because I am still a work in progress.
So, here's the short list of things I want to be more Intentional about doing this year:
- Self care
- Being mindful in the moment
- Breathing
- Seeking God, and trusting Him
- Having fun!
- Kindness (towards others, but also towards myself)
- Gratitude and Gladness
- Connecting with others
- Being open to new adventures
Mostly, I hope that 2025 turns out to be a good year for all of us.
Happy New Year!
Spero proprio che il 2025 ti permetta di realizzare i tuoi sogni 😄
ReplyDeleteGrazie mille! Buon Anno. :D
DeleteThat's a great list of goals for 2025. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I hope you have a Happy New Year, too. :D
DeleteHappy New Year! I'm using the holiday (day off from work) to do some of the same. I've found writing goals down (physically, not typing them) helped me focus and remember last year, so I have my notebook ready.
ReplyDeleteI love notebooks! I have a new bullet journal I'm going to try out this year to track my goals and books and adventures in. Happy New Year! :D
DeleteGreat list. A happy new year to you.
ReplyDeleteThank you. :D
DeleteLark, I love this post! I'm with you - I want to be more intentional, mindful this year. Such a great list! Happy New Year my friend!! Wishing you the best in 2025!!
ReplyDeleteI think mindfulness and being more intentional helps counter stress, worry and anxiety. At least, that's my hope. I wish you all the best in 2025, Nadia! :D
DeleteYour list could serve as a guide for all of us in this new year. And a very happy New Year to you.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Dorothy! :D
DeleteHappy New Year, Lark! Great list! We have some of the same goals! I'm going to try to be more intentional, mindful, and focused on God. Wishing you a wonderful 2025! :D
ReplyDeleteHi, Ashley! Good luck with your goals this year. Maybe we can help each to stay on track. :D
DeleteI like your list. Being kind to yourself is probably the one we should do more of. Happy new year!
ReplyDeleteI can be really hard on myself, which isn't good. So this year I'm going to try and be more positive and give myself a little grace.
DeleteYou've got a solid plan to work on all parts of you for 2025. I like to do goals for progressing forward with a plan.
ReplyDeleteI do, too! Without some specific goals, I tend to drift and do nothing. ;D
DeleteWonderful list of goals, Lark! Hope for good things and experiences for all of us. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI do wish for good things and good experiences for us all!
DeleteHappy New Year! I love your goals and I hope you have a wonderful year.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteHappy New Year, Lark! These are all great goals. I think this year I am going to work on letting go among other things.
ReplyDeleteLetting go is a good goal to have!
DeleteMy favorite things from your list are "Being mindful in the moment" and "Gratitude and Gladness." I do some breathing exercises most nights to help me go to sleep, but I do stay up too late.
ReplyDeleteI hope we all have a good 2025.
Breathing exercises are so good...any time of the day. I need to do more of them. And gratitude and gladness is something I started working on in 2024, and really feel the need to continue doing this year. Happy 2025! :D
DeleteA good list of goals Lark. I am wondering if habit trackers are a way to accomplish our goals. They have some nice ones through Amazon and you list 5 or 6 goals for the month that you need to do each day and check them off each evening. It's something I am thinking about. Have a very Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteIf you get one you'll have to let me know how you like it, and if it does actually help you stay on track. And I hope 2025 is a good year for you! :D
DeleteI like 'I am still a work in progress'. I'm quite a lot older than you, but I still feel that way. Lots to learn still, things to do, places to go. :-) Happy New Year, Lark.
ReplyDeleteYes! I hope 2025 brings you lots of good things, and no big sad things.
DeleteI could use some of your goals too.

DeleteHappy New Year! A lovely list of goals.
ReplyDeleteI started my new year with a cold. (Bleah!) But so it's got to get better, right?
Colds are the worst! Hope you're feeling better. :D
DeleteHappy New Year, good luck with your goals.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you, Mary! :D
DeleteHappy New Year! Good luck with your goals--they all seem so lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you. :D
DeleteHappy New Year, Lark! One of my words for the year is Intentional as well!
ReplyDeleteThat word just felt like a good theme word for me for 2025. I think I've been letting life happen to me, and I want to be more intentional about choosing the life I live this year...if that makes sense. :D
DeleteSounds like all good things to shoot for in 2025. I love the idea about trusting in God more. Hope you and your loved ones have a great one!
ReplyDeleteTrusting God should be so easy, but it's something I struggle with, which is why I need to work on it this year. :D
DeleteGreat list. It seems like we have similar goals.
ReplyDelete:D Good luck with yours!
