2025.. New Year New Me
Isn’t that the popular saying. But why not, new year, smarter me. Or new year, stronger me.
I look at the New Year as a chance to restart. It’s like the Mondayiest Monday of them all.
You know what I’m talking about. When someone asks, “Do you want to start a diet or start working out?”, you say, “Oh, I’ll start on Monday.” Or even, “I’ll start next month.”
Now that the new year is here there are no excuses. But I don’t think it’s time to create a new you, I think it’s time to take what you have learned in the past years, and become a better, smarter, stronger.
Might be a hot take, but it’s my take.
If you know me, you know I love goals. I AM A BIG BELIEVER IN GOALS. How can you achieve something, if you don’t know what you want to achieve? You don’t have to have a 7 step plan – but speak your goals and vision out into the world. Even if just to yourself, and believe that they can happen.
In the past, I have been known to set like 10 “resolutions” and don’t normally stick to them, because I make them unrealistic. So this year I wanted to take a new approach. I wanted to try to take the number out of it.
So without further ado here are my goals:
- Be Financially Smarter
- Enter My Dream Girl Era
- Prioritize Relationships
I guess you could say these are areas more than goals. Now, each area is broken down and does have some numerical value in there but the overarching goals/areas are not numerical.
By the end of 2025. I want to be financially smarter. How can I track this? Did I track my spending? Did I eliminate impulse spending? Did we put extra money towards debt? Did we take on new debt? Did we create sinking funds, so we are better prepared for holidays and trips?
But knowing me, I needed something to track. So a big part in being financially smart is eliminating debt, and with that we need to find extra income. Thus I set a crazy goal to make $4K in side hustle income. That is my numerical goal.
More to come with this goal, as I’m going to be sharing my progress across the blog and my Instagram, and showing how we allocate each month’s extra income.
The next area is to enter my dream girl era. It’s okay if you are thinking what the heck, Savannah. This is simply, when I close my eyes what I imagine my life looking like in my thirties, mid thirties.
What am I wearing, what am I driving, where do I work, what does my morning routine look like, what are we doing on weekends, what kind of house are we living in? And I wrote all this out, and entering my dream girl era means thinking about what my 30 year old self would do, and to do that. Would my 30 year old self, stay up till 2am painting? No, she would prioritize rest. Would my 30 year old self ignore bills? No, she would be prepared, have an emergency fund, and pay the bills when they come in. Would my 30 year old self skip workout? No, because she knows movement is medicine. Entering my dream girl era, is honestly growing up and being more responsible but in girlie terms.
And the last area, prioritizing relationships. This one gets broken down a lot as I want to focus on four relationships
- Me and God
- Me and David
- Me and Maeve
- Me and Friends
I can do a blog post more into how I’m prioritizing these relationships, but I have little goals set up to make sure that I bring these back to front of mind.
And of course it’s not a new year, without a vision board so here is my vision board for 2025.
