My 2025 Goals: is this Too Much?

Last year was the first time I actually shared my New Years resolutions publicly. If you haven’t read that post already, make sure you do! And, a few weeks ago, I also discussed here on the blog whether I actually stuck to those resolutions or not. Spoiler: I did. I actually felt that by putting my goals out there, I kind of had to. So in a way, I pressured myself into achieving my goals/sticking to my New Years resolutions. Or, put more nicely, I held myself accountable. So I thought it a good idea to put my 2025 goals out into the internet as well, in hopes that it keeps me accountable once again.

Pondering My Goals For The New Year

Over the Christmas and Twixmas period, I actually chatted to a lot of friends and family about their goals and ambitions for the year to come. I didn’t really know what goals to set for myself. I definitely want to re-apply my New Years resolutions from last year: spending more time with loved ones and/or doing absolutely nothing, and be even more conscious about my buying/consuming habits. Especially that last one is something I can still do some improving on.

But that’s a work-in-progress kind of thing. I also really wanted an actual goal to work towards.

The One Big Thing I NEED To Achieve In 2025

There is one thing that I have been thinking about A LOT over the past year. And that is – drumroll – to get a new job. Either something within the industry I am currently in (sports therapy/rehab). Or something entirely different. Either way, I am determined to find something new this year. The reason being that I really don’t like the clinic I work at right now. It’s really hard for me to describe why, I don’t even know why to be honest. I’m just not happy there. And since I have got 35+ years of working still ahead of me, I need to get a move on and find something new. So cross your fingers and toes for me!

And One More Thing…

Another thing I want to do more in 2025 is practice gratitude. I have a really bad history of not seeing/appreciating the wonderful things I do have. Instead, I focus on everything I don’t, or all the things in my life that aren’t perfect. I think that is also why I am so unhappy at my current job: I see what other people I studied with are doing, or the amount of money the people I went to school with make… And I forget to look around me and appreciate the wonderful home I have, the amazing vacations I get to go on, and, most importantly, the incredible people I get to call my friends and family.

I haven’t quite decided how I’m going to practice my gratitude just yet. Maybe I’m going to do a bit of journaling, just for myself. Or I’m going to do it here on the blog, maybe for one of my Thoughts on Thursdays. I think it could be quite helpful to remind some of you to look around you and appreciate what you have as well. So do let me know what you think!
