2025 What a Time to Be Alive 🙌🏾
Happy New Year 🎊🎆🎈
How do you set goals for the new year? For the past few years, I’ve been setting a focus word of the year. Some of my past words were intentional, focused, execute, and flow. This year my word is grit. Grit means to focus on perseverance and passion for long-term goals. I need to push beyond my comfort zone in a few areas. So that’s my word: GRIT
I’ll be helping my son, the boys in the book club, and my students figure out their focus word of the year.
If you want to create one but don’t know where to begin,
Here is the process:
Step 1: Reflect on the Past Year
Wins, challenges, lessons, emotions and experiences that stand out
Step 2: Envision the Year Ahead
How do you want to feel this year? Goals, dreams, intentions…what area needs the most focus?
Step 3: Write down all words that resonate with the energy or outcomes you want for this year
Step 4: Narrow down your word by choosing a word that is broad enough to apply to different aspects of yojr life but specific enough to inspire action.
Step 5: Commit to your Word
Make it your screensaver. For my son and students, I have had them draw ✍🏽 it and taped to their notebooks, on our classroom walls, and even in the inside of their lockers. This year my self-love class will be creating a painting of their word. I purchased canvases and everything 🎨🖌️🖼️
If you decide to create a word, share with your child so they can hold you accountable because they will lol 😆 and have them create one as well and hold them accountable. Share with us here too so that your fellow Healthy Hittas can hold you accountable as well.
Here are some other strategies for an intentional start of the new year that I’ve done personally and with my child and students:
✅ Create a vision board- Cut out pictures and words that represent goals. We’ve done this on poster board and digitally.
✅ Conducting a Life Audit- Write down goals in the major categories of life: finances, fitness, family, fun, friends, faith, and future.
✅ Write a Letter to Your Future Self- write a letter as if it is the end of the year describing all that you have accomplished, how you’ve grown, and the challenges you’ve overcome. Seal it or schedule an email delivery to open at the end of the year.
✅ Create a year of monthly challenges - Ex. January-no sugar, Feb-daily meditation, etc track your progress and reflect at the end of each month.
Which activity will you and your child do to create an intentional 2025?
Happy New Year 🎊🎈🎆
Cheers 🥂 to raising emotionally healthy, healed, and happy children 💕
