Well hello to you my reader chums! I cannot believe we're in 2025; how did that happen? 2024 was an incredible year; I'm so grateful for the holidays, the love around me, the success of my business and overall, learning to care for my mental health. 

If you're thinking about your goals and are unsure what's for you this year, here are my 2025 goals. I can't wait to see what this year brings.

2025 goals 

Continue to thrive in my business

I feel incredibly lucky that in 2024, I had a successful year of business. I worked on some brilliant website copy projects, blogging projects and consistent retainer work for digital marketing agencies and social media management. I'm blessed that I could work with incredible clients, form and maintain relationships with other business owners and create leads for potential future work. I hope 2025 is everything and more for the business where I can thrive working with clients and on projects that I love - and continue to grow every day as a business owner. 

Continue my travels

Travelling is my life and I love nothing more than planning my next trip away. I was lucky enough to do some dream trips, including the Canadian Rockies and interrailing through Italy and Switzerland in 2024, as well as weekend breaks to Bath, Edinburgh and Cambridge. This year, as my focus is on financial goals more than anything, big trips aren't as big of a priority, but I still want to travel. I aim to keep travelling more locally and visit European countries and cities. 

Focus on saving and financially preparing to be a homeowner

I've always wanted to own a home; it has been a goal of mine for years. I love the idea of creating a space that's fully mine, decorating it how I like, and injecting mine and my partner's personality into all the décor. 2025 is the year, we're both going to focus on saving as much as possible to put us in a brilliant position to begin our homeowner journeys and to start looking for a house we like.

Edit my 6th book and work on pitching

I finished writing my 6th book at the end of 2024 and with that finish, my biggest focus is to work on the journey to being published. Being a published author is my biggest dream, I can't think of anything better than seeing my stories in the book shops. This year, I want to work with an editor, helping get all of my books ready for publishing level and ready to pitch again to agents.

Embrace the power of slowing down more

As a people pleaser, and someone who always needs to be productive, slowing down and relaxing is something I struggle with, and I've been focusing on doing more. It's difficult to learn how to relax, however, I've found that embracing it has really helped with my mental health. In 2025, I'd like to focus on that a lot more.

Continue reading often

I'm a self-confessed bookworm and I adore reading new stories, there's something magical about this. I'm proud in 2024, sticking to my reading goals and nearly reading 30 books. I've even spent evenings reading, rather than only reading before bed or in the morning. Reading every day has done wonders for my mind and I can't wait to see the books I read in 2025.

Find an exercise routine I love

I've always enjoyed working out and last year, I've leaned into Pilates and think it's my favourite way to exercise. This year, I'd like to get into more of a routine, with a weekly plan of various exercise types, including Pilates/yoga, walks and dance workouts, and even running.

Learn to make clothes/get better at sewing 

When I was younger and obsessed with That's So Raven, I wanted to be a fashion designer. Since then, the thought of making clothes has been magical to me. Also as I struggle with finding clothes that fit me perfectly, learning to make clothes and improving my sewing skills can help this dream.

Continue focusing on appreciating and feeling content every day

Embracing and learning to love the little things is incredibly important for a positive life. I've spent years getting better at this and want to continue this in 2025, to help me feel completely fulfilled every day.

I hope you enjoyed this post. What are your goals?

Thank you for reading <3
