Episode 190: Do These 5 Things NOW To Start Your Year Strong And Set Yourself Up For Success In 2025

As we dive into 2025, it's time to reflect on how we can make this year our most successful yet. This week, we explore five key strategies to ensure that you start the year off on the right foot. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by the holiday aftermath or eager to jumpstart your goals, these actionable steps will help you thrive both personally and professionally.

 

First, we emphasize the importance of self care. Simple things like nourishing food, drinking water, getting enough sleep, and moving your body are what build the foundation for feeling good, and can make all the difference in setting up for success in all other areas of life.

 

We are also continuing to touch on setting clear goals and intentions and making sure you are being thoughtful and reflective about your vision for the year, and continuing to check in with yourself along the way to make sure things still feel aligned, and you aren’t going in the wrong direction. 

 

It’s easy to get caught up in planning mode, but to make real progress we also have to make sure we are doing, so an action strategy is also a crucial part of your 2025 plan. Embracing the messiness that can come along with trying new things, and taking chances will be huge in moving forward with your goals. 

 

We couldn’t talk about planning without touching on time management. We love talking time blocking here on the podcast, and this is no exception. Making sure you actually prioritize blocking out chunks of time for important tasks that allow you to really focus on the work at hand. Also don’t forget time blocking isn’t just for things you have to do, it’s also key in making sure you make plans for things that fill your cup, like family time, hobbies, vacations and self care so you don’t run into burn out. 

 

The last thing we discuss is clearing clutter and unneeded things from your life. Just starting small, and tackling an area, or a room can make a world of difference when it’s done. This will open up space in your life for ease, creativity and new opportunities to come in.

 

These five things seem simple, but performing them regularly has the power to change your year. By prioritizing self-care, setting authentic goals, taking action, managing your time effectively, and creating an inviting space, you'll be well on your way to making 2025 a year of growth and success.
