Ever seen how stores offer all the sales they possibly can, to get ‘out with the old and in with the new’? Take a page from their book! As for you, here’s how to set meaningful goals and prepare for the new year, 2025.
Reflect on 2024 as We Usher in 2025
Spend some time journaling about your achievements and lessons learnt. You can even introspect in moments when you environment and your mind is still. Be sure to be honest about your feelings as you reflect and introspect. Speak kindly to yourself as well, affirming every step of your reflection that you are valued, worthy and will become an even greater version of yourself in the coming year.

Set SMART Goals for 2025
Focus on goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time bound. Remember too, to prepare for the goals you are setting.
There’s an old Italian story of a man who went to a statue everyday, asking the statue to allow him to win the lottery. Of course, the statue was a symbol of giving in the society and the man had set a goal to ask the statue every day for his windfall. One day, out of exhaustion from the requests, the statue came to life and told the man “please buy a ticket!”

You see, I’ve come across so many wishful thinkers and sometimes I’m tempted to ask- so how have you been preparing for this wish? Other times, I ask straight away. So, while you set goals for the new year ahead, ensure they are SMART goals, and also be sure to prepare for the things you pray about!
Create a 2025 Vision Board
Vision boarding works! If you work the plans to achieve the goals anyway. Here’s how you can get started: Get a cartridge paper, cardboard or even a literal wooded board that is the perfect size and aesthetics to fit in your house. Cut out images and quotes that inspire you, and display them prominently. Let your genuine desires and creativity shine through.
Feel free to make it a holiday get together and involve your family. This way, everyone around you is motivated toward something (s) for the new year and you can hold each other accountable.
