Happy New Year! 🎆🎇Here we are in 2025. As I’ve been doing for the past few years now, I started my 2024 year by writing out some goals and resolutions, which you can find here. Out of the 6 goals and resolutions, I successfully achieved two and a half, which was “Upload Two Blog Posts Every Month,” “Ten Photoshoots,” and one collab. WOO-HOO!!!
This year, I want to continue to work on goals and resolutions from last year. I want to make sure I have creative goals and personal resolutions to set up my 2025 year. Make sure to
Goals
Upload 30 Blog Posts for the Year
I tried my best to upload at least two blog posts in 2024. At times it wasn’t easy to create something, but I think that pushed me to pursue different photo sessions and content ideas.📝 My goal for this next year is to continue to create more content and also get myself out there to do some fun things.
12 Photo Sessions for the Year
This one is tied to the previous goal. Again, I want to pursue different content ideas, put myself out there to continue to hone my skills, and enjoy the art of photography.
Shameless self-promo here! If you want to collaborate or book a session with me, make sure to click on the following:
Complete Two Illustrations for My Second Book
Something I’ve been wanting to do (forever!) is work on my second self-published book. I have a few ideas ready to go, but I want to have my hand in illustrating the book as well. Drawing and illustrating are not my strong suits, but I really want to push myself into doing something that will be a “growth moment” for me.
Resolution
Read at Least Four Books📚
I’m bringing this back for 2025. For a while, I’ve been utilizing the Libby App to listen to audiobooks, but there’s just something about picking up a physical copy of a book. Reading is also a great skill to continue to sharpen, so my goal is to read four physical books or e-books. If you have any book recommendations, please let me know!
Create a Consistent, Healthy, and Solid Morning and Night Routine 🌅
In the past, I had a pretty solid morning routine that I stuck to consistently… this past year has been rough lol. I’m bringing this back and I want to wake up early to spend time with God (read the Bible and pray). Additionally, having a solid night routine will help me get a good night’s rest (another psych fact for you: sleep is so important for your functioning! Make sure you get your rest!), which will set me up for success in waking up earlier!
Financial Savings
This year, I want to prioritize my finances just a little more. This will help me with wanting to travel (one of my resolutions last year!). And also keeping up with my many hobbies haha.
