In my last article, I shared how much I wanted to let go of 2024 without attachment and unfinished business. Now that the calendar has been flipped, the year 2024 is behind, and I have opened myself up to endless opportunity in a new journey 2025. I wouldn't want this to be a year like another; it's the year in which I'm going to rise and grow and, finally, to become the person I always longed to be. I know this journey begins with reflection, intention, and purposeful action. Are you ready to take the same journey as mine? Then let's get into action.
Reflect on 2024: The Power of Self-Reflection
Before we get into the new year, let's hit the pause button and take some time to reflect on what did work in 2024 and what didn't. Self-reflection is a superpower. It’s like shining a flashlight on your past to guide your future.
Ask yourself: What went well in 2024? What didn’t? Be honest with yourself. Write down three things you’re proud of from the past year and three things you want to leave behind. This isn’t about regret; it’s about growth. Use this time to look inward and set the stage for positive change.
Did I, do it? Absolutely! However, I believe in keeping few things to myself that way I can avoid unnecessary attention and focus on my growth without any kind of interference from outside world.
Set Meaningful Resolutions That Actually Work
Instead of something vague like "I want to get fit," set something very specific and doable. Like, commit yourself to doing workout three times a week for 30 minutes. It gives you a tangible target and lets you measure where you stand and what you are aiming for. And hey, do check out my fitness training if you are really serious about fitness.
Another example, when you say you will save money, just say, "I am going to save money." Save something each month by avoiding wasteful spending. It is an activity that makes it easy for you to measure the progress made towards your goal and take actionable steps toward freedom in your financial life. The key is to make your goals specific, measurable, and meaningful, so they align with a deeper purpose and are easier to stick to throughout the year.
Tie your resolutions to a purpose. Why do you want to get fit? It’s not just about looking good; it’s about feeling confident, energized, and strong. Why do you want to save money? It’s not just for the sake of money, but to build a future of freedom and opportunities. Purpose fuels discipline.
Steal my approach to achieve a meaningful and fulfilled life
After dealing with narcissistic people my life fell apart for a period of time. It took me significant time to come back to myself again. However, that setback did bring me tremendous growth and made me realize a lot of things. One such thing was, I need to work on building the foundation. Building foundation is my three pillars approach to live a meaningful and healthy life- Health, Wealth, and Joy. If these three pillars are strong then it's not just 2025 but every year will be successful year with this solid foundation.
Pillar 1: Health – The Powerhouse of Progress
Your body is your engine. If you don't take care of it, how can you expect to go far? Health isn't just about hitting the gym or counting calories; it's about balance. Prioritize the basics: sleep, hydration, and movement.
Fitness isn't about perfection, it's about consistency. Find activities that you enjoy—whether that's dancing, hiking, yoga, or just walking. Small daily habits will add up to huge results. Focus on building a routine that fits your lifestyle. If you wish, take my help to guide you. Check my fitness training where I focus on Holistic fitness to get you on your fitness journey by using my expertise in MMA, Yoga and Meditation.
Pillar 2: Wealth – Create Freedom, Not Just Money
Lately, I have become very mindful about money. Money isn’t everything, but it gives you the freedom to focus on what truly matters. This year take control of your finances. Start small and make small adjustments that add up over time. Create a budget, cut out unnecessary expenses, and look for ways to increase your income.
Maybe that means starting a side hustle like me or learning about investments. Little steps can snowball into big results. Remember, wealth isn't just about accumulating money, it's about building a foundation that gives you the freedom to live the life you want.
Pillar 3: Joy – Find Happiness in the Little Things
Happiness isn't found in big, shiny moments. It's found in the little things. There are things in life that can bring more joy than any material possession: a good conversation, a walk in nature, or time spent with loved ones. It's easy to get lost when the world is trying to pull in multiple directions in today's excessively digitally connected world. But trust me, you don't need too many people or followers on social media. What you need is just a few good meaningful connections with people who genuinely care for you.
Practicing gratitude is very underrated, but it makes a big difference. Just take some time to think about what you are thankful for. Write down three things that make you feel grateful each day. And remember, happiness is not something you chase; it is something you cultivate. It is a matter of valuing the present moment and deriving joy from it.
Turn Obstacles into Opportunities
When I started travelling solo, I came across a lot of challenges and one such challenge was Uttarakhand solo trip which later turn into a beautiful meaningful relationship with local family is something will always have special place in my heart. How I got into dwelling more about sexuality is also through a challenge I faced at Goa holiday.
Challenges are bound to happen, and they always bring growth. There's no year without its quota of obstacles. The difference lies in how you react to the challenge. You cannot beat up yourself when the going gets tough. Instead, you ask, "What lesson do I get out of this?" Failure is not the opposite of success; failure is part of success. Each obstacle has something that can carry you forward.
2025 is a clean slate. Make this your year to rise, grow, and achieve it all.
