Every January, the same. How will I start this year better than the last? How will I achieve my goals and fulfill my purpose?
Well, one super quick way to really clarify things is to get a breast cancer diagnosis. That’s what fall of 2024 was for me. More on this later.
So as I observe some of the trends for kicking off 2025 (“more of/less of”, “leaving/taking”, one word theme, etc.) here are my thoughts:
GOALS:
Be cancer-free by Dec 31, 2025
Share my “journings” (journey and learnings) so others can benefit
Enjoy my life, be more content by experiencing the following each day/week;
the joy of LEARNING;
the pleasure of CREATING;
the fun of ADVENTURE /being in the “now”;
the pride of RISK-TAKING; and
the happiness of SELF-CARE
METHODS:
Less coffee, More water
Less screen time, More quiet mornings
Less planning, More enjoying
Less Future & Past, More Now
Less Control, More Freedom
And most importantly; Less “hoping for the best, but setting the bar low to avoid disappointment”… and More creating, doing, and ultimately, manifesting.
BRINGING INTO 2025
Wake up between 4:30 and 6:30 AM
Yoga, stretch, or walk by 7:30 AM
Breakfast by 9:30 AM, switch from coffee to water
Last coffee before lunch
Late morning: creating and doing while my brain is super active
After lunch: learning and self-care while I’m calmer
“When at home, dock my phone”
Short walk after dinner
In bed by 9 PM
