The following are a variety of ways I prep my mindset and body for the new year. Take whatever resonates and leave the rest. Do what works for YOU. Remember, when we’re talking about true wealth, it has to do with ALL areas of your life.
More or Less
As the year winds down, I’m spending time considering what I want more or less of in 2025. I don’t set “resolutions” per se… There’s too much perfectionism in that for my taste. For instance, if your goal is to “workout 5 days a week,” you’ve already failed the second you miss that 5th day. Often, that causes us to give up on the goal completely. Using a “more or less” mentality gives you the flexibility to stick with your intention for the long term.

Meditation 🧘🏻♀️ – When my mind is clear, I think better, trade better, and sleep better. Plus, I have more patience for the things or people in life who are frustrating.
Time in nature 🌲 – This is simply about booking more mini-adventures in my calendar. I’m a better human overall when I take time to recharge in the natural world.
Structure & discipline in my business – Life is short. I want to focus on the things that move me toward my goals instead of just being busy for busy-sake.
< Less:
Scarcity mentality – Many of you know of my money struggles over the years. Our thoughts create our reality so I’m leaving thoughts of lack and scarcity in 2024 (to the best of my ability).
Sugar 🍪 – I’m all good with natural sugars in fruit, but no one needs added sugar. Sugar creates inflammation, and inflammation causes all kinds of negative things in the human body.
My Word for 2025
Each year, I pick a word to focus on. “Savor” is my word for 2025. I found myself rushing through a lot of the past year so, looking forward, I want to savor more. e.g. I read A LOT of books in 2024, but for many of them, I couldn’t even tell you what they were about because it was just “on to the next.” This coming year, I want to slow down and savor the books, experiences, and people in my life even more.

The New Year
The new year is about fresh starts, planting seeds, and getting clear on what we want. But here’s the thing… It’s not about wishing and hoping.
It’s only when you have the focus and grit to climb your personal mountain ⛰️ that you’ll be able to get to the top. Whether that’s building a business, improving your health, or creating a more aligned life. This isn’t about quick wins; it’s about laying solid foundations for meaningful, sustainable change.
Reflect, Plan, and Align
Pause and ask yourself:
What truly matters to me?
Where do I want to invest my energy in 2025?
What am I ready to release so I can move forward freely?
When you ask powerful questions, Life often shows up with the wisdom and clarity you’re seeking. You’ll see the steps you need to take and feel renewed confidence in your ability to follow through.
A Final Thought
This isn’t just about setting goals—it’s about becoming the version of yourself who can achieve them. You have to be willing to put in the hard work to become the person who can manifest your long-term vision.
Take some time to dream boldly, plan intentionally, and trust the process. Here’s to a dynamic start to 2025. 🌑✨
