How to Prioritize Yourself and Build Confidence with Your 2025 Goals

 
 

Happy January!

A brand-new year is here, filled with fresh opportunities and possibilities to uplevel your life, prioritize yourself, and have your glow seen. So let’s pause for a moment. Before we dive headfirst into the new year, let’s take a gentle, loving look at where we are right now, since “now” is always the only moment we truly have.

If you’re anything like me, a recovering perfectionist with big dreams and exciting visions, you might have set some big, beautiful goals or resolutions last January. Maybe you even crafted a beautiful vision board, physically or digitally, that lit your heart on fire.

If you keep putting yourself last, do this

As the year unfolded, perhaps some of those goals got pushed to the side. Your endless to-do lists, work and life responsibilities, and the weight of always being there for everyone else can make it hard to focus on yourself. If you’re someone who doesn’t want to disappoint anyone and tends to say “yes” more often than your energy allows, it’s easy to fall into the trap of putting yourself at the bottom of your priority list, and you end up feeling exhausted and tired often, with little to no space for your own dreams.

If this happened to you, that’s okay. Here’s what we’re going to do about it: Let’s do better this year. Let’s put yourself first as much as you can this year. Let’s listen to your body and your intuition in terms of what feels right for you. Let’s not forget about your dreams this year. They are valid, important, and you deserve them all.

Simple journaling questions for clarity on your 2025 goals

Let’s take a moment to pause and reflect with love. Now is the perfect time to revisit those intentions, not with judgment, but with curiosity. Set aside a quiet moment (glow tip: schedule it into your calendar!) to reflect on the following questions. I recommend you take your journal to jot down your thoughts:

  • What am I most proud of?

  • Which goals have shifted or evolved?

  • If there was only one thing I would want to work on this year, what would it be?

  • How do I want to feel by December 31, 2025?

This isn’t about checking boxes or perfection. It’s about connecting with your heart, realigning with what matters most to you, and moving forward this year with crystal clear clarity and a powerful intention. I want you to focus on the things that light you up, and that feel great in your body.

Glow Tip: Let go of the guilt

If you find yourself saying things to yourself like “You didn’t stick to your goals” or “You’re so behind already in this new year”, take a deep breath and let those thoughts go.

It’s okay if life didn’t go as planned.
It’s okay if your priorities have changed.
It’s okay if you’re starting fresh now.

When life feels overwhelming, it’s easy to fall into the habit of keeping yourself busy, such as writing to-do lists, just so you can check off tasks, without taking time to reflect on what truly matters to you.

This isn’t about being perfect; it’s about being present.

Read that again.

Now, release the guilt, and forgive yourself for not doing better. You did the best you could already. And now is always a good moment to shift gears, and realign.

Let’s create a year that feels so much like you

Picture yourself at the end of this year: How do you want to feel? What habits, practices, or boundaries will help you step into that version of yourself? Rather than looking good on the outside, what priorities really feel exciting in your heart?
