Happy New Years! What are your resolutions for 2025? 🎇🎆

[CynthieLu]

Happy New Years everyone! 🥳 🥂

With 2024 is coming to a close I wonder what everyone has on thier resolution list for 2025?

I think every year being more active is on my to do list, but this year I want to set some real goals and maybe get some inspiration and input for everyone here on BIC. Maybe writing it down will help us stay on track. 😉

What are you hoping to accomplish in 2025? Do you set resolutions for yourself, what have you been thinking? 🤔💕

So I came up with a few new resolutions ideas for this year,

• Finish two books I've been reading 📚 
• Exercise 3 times a week
• Learn something new 😀

But I might add to this list, it's not finished yet. 

 

Tagging a few community members to chime maybe with some of thier resolution ideas for 2025 but anyone is welcome to share and contribute in any way they like.

Lose weight, make money and improve my mental health. I'm also thinking about getting another dog. But since I found fleas on my dog ​​and have already ordered Nexgard Without Vet Prescription . I hope this will pass soon and I can get a new family member.

Love all of these for you @dinadore. 💓

What's your approach to staying on track with your goals?

[CynthieLu]

I did end up adding a few items to my My final resolutions for 2025 after reading through everyone's. Thank you for the inspiration everyone. 🙏 🌸

• Drink more water daily 🥛
• More thoughtful/mindful spending  💸

On top of my original 

• Finish two books I've been reading 📚 
• Exercise 3 times a week
• Learn something new 😀

Water should be simple. My plan is to bring any of my reusable water bottles to work and empty it twice a day, I work 8 hours shifts so I'm aiming for one in the first half and one in the second half of my shift. 🩵

This is inspired by everyone who posted their efforts during low buy/no buy's over the last couple years. I want to work through my stash to hopefully become more mindful in the items I choose to take home. My goals this year are to empty my stash of foils and gwp and stop purchasing backups. 

I'm hoping to make time during the day/week you get out and active. So far so good, I just want to keep this up during the year.  I've been keeping a journal and trying to stay organized by planning out which days in the weeks have the least going on so I can squeeze in more active activities. 📒 It's been pretty helpful during a busy start to January.

I am waiting for inspiration on the newness resolution that I plan to try this year. I'm not in a rush to figure this out, and I think it'll come to me when I'm ready.

@CynthieLu another set of very achievable goals.  I have to add drink more water to my goals.  I get caught up in what I am doing and forget to hydrate.

[CynthieLu]

Achievable goals were definitely done on purpose @CorgiMommy I feel like I was reasonable without going to intense on myself. I think stayiing realistic is very mentally healthy. 👌🧠

For anyone looking for inspo or something new, @itsfi for a great workshop, dare I say "skillshop" for flatlays in 🏫🎓BIC University 🎓🏫

[CynthieLu]

Happy New Year everyone!🎆🎆🎆

My resolutions for 2025 are:

1- Continue reading 3 books a week minimum. This has helped so much with cutting back on online shopping.

2- Get a massage at least once a month. 

3- Put more effort in using up my beauty products. I have so much stuff to get through and my backup drawers are overflowing.

Happy New Years @faeriegirl 

It’s been amazing getting to know you on threads! The book goal is so admirable I feel like that is such a great way to learn or just enjoy a good read, I’m with you on organization! These are fabulous I hope your year has been amazing so far ❤️

[ather]

@faeriegirl  These are great resolutions!’ Smart way to keep yourself busy too!

[AMK721]

@faeriegirl those are awesome. What kind of books do you like to read? I'm a reader too, even though I'm in a bit of a slump right now and taking a little break.

[faeriegirl]

@AMK721  I mostly read romance/ fantasy romance. 

[Shosh85]

@faeriegirl  Yes, yes and yes!
Oh man, I'd love a massage once a month! That sounds so nice!

3 books a week?! That's awesome! I can barely get through 1 book a week 😅 but you made an excellent point - that would totally help cut down the online spending! I like your thinking!

Good luck accomplishing your goals and Happy New Year!  🎊 🥳

[Titian06]

Love your resolutions, @faeriegirl ! 💖💖💖  Especially reading more frequently. 📚

[CorgiMommy]

I am in for the massage once a month @faeriegirl .  Great resolution 

[Mellmars1185]

@faeriegirl Happy New Year! Thank you for sharing! I love your resolutions. The reading resolution is so smart. I remember in the summer when I was reading more I did a lot less online shopping. Here is to more reading, less shopping and to using up our stashes!! Cheers🥂

[CynthieLu]

Ahhhh @Mellmars1185 @faeriegirl clearly I need to join you all and hit the books 📚 📖

Happy 2025! I thought of another resolution. I am a ballet dancer with VERY thick hair. The uniform requirement is a bun. I’m very bad at them, and I’ve even been criticized by my teachers about how I do it. They never seem to understand, but anyways, this year I really want to get better at it!!

[ather]

@ChickenGurlie  Great idea! I feel like sometimes it is our hair types that make things more difficult. A girl at work has the best bun and I asked her for advice but she made it seem so easy. I blame my hair! You’re so lucky if you have thick hair!
