2025 - the year of truly believing in yourself
2025! You heard it here first and I’m declaring it right now! This will be the most magical transformative year of your life yet! The year of dreaming big paired with hard work. The year of truly believing in yourself wholeheartedly.
Manifestation. Vision board. Brain power. Consistency. A couple of buzz words that I’m holding close. It’s time to colour outside of the lines. We’re all just tiny blips in the whole universe here for such a short time anyway. So let’s live this year like it’s our last and go become the absolute best amazing incredible 1/1 version of ourselves!
Manifestation is fucking real and it’s a superpower!
2024 was a year of stepping out of my comfort zone. I did the damn thing and moved to a new city. Manifestation ~ The act of making something real: The act of taking an idea and making it happen in the real world. Ya I get it you probably hear all the girlies or guys yap about this idea.
I’m here to tell you it’s a superpower and optimizing its use will change your life! If you think about it, people believe in all sorts of things like different religions or politics. So why’s it weird to believe in manifestation, if anything I think it makes more sense. You believe in yourself, your goals and dreams so strongly that you speak them into existence.
Tips:
Begin by being grateful for everything you already have
Appreciate how far you’ve overcome and grown this far
Train your brain into always thinking more positively
Try the glass half full method but realistically
Write down your biggest desires in your life
Set goals to start working towards those desires
Think and act like you already have them
Try your best everyday to get closer to them
Remember you only live once so the sky is the limit
Vision boards truly work and foreshadow the future!
Since I could remember, even as a kid, I was always bursting out the seams with creativity. I use to sit on my bedroom floor for hours cutting out pictures in fashion magazines. And don’t even get me started about my middle school tumblr days when I was *obsessed*. I’ve always been creative whether drawing or painting or cutting and pasting or simply making something tangible when it was intangible.
Guess what? Anyone can be creative not only self-dubbed creative individuals like me or the artistic types. I know a lot of people are visual learners or share big imaginations and like seeing it. Vision board is the next step to manifesting, you wrote everything down so now show it. Search up and collect beautiful wonderful pictures to encapsulate how you imagine this said dream life
Tips:
I go on pinterest and start saving iconic photos
They align with my manifestations, goals, hobbies, interests
I try to save as many as possible
The pictures will embody my personality and dreams too
My other best friend besides pinterest is canva
I start to collage my vision board masterpiece
My favourite is definitely the iphone wallpaper size
I carry my phone 24/7 so I’ll always see it
You can save this as your phone computer background and even print it to hang on your wall
Brain power and health is the root of everything!
There’s no Sunday scaries or anything like that for the new year and resolutions are a bit overrated! I’m a big fan of Mondays and birthdays and new seasons and new years. What can I say, I love a juicy reset, clean slate, new chapter or marker to level up. Gentle reminder you don’t have to wait only for these specific times to do better, want better.
The thing more important than any ny resolution is taking care of yourself especially your mental health. I’m certain everything good in life starts with a super healthy brain and a super healthy mindset. Perfect body, bank account, apartment, car, relationships, clothes, blah, blah. None of it matters without a strong brain. So set mental health as your top priority before jumping ahead to set goals or resolutions.
Tips:
I stay active everyday for my brain first
It scientifically makes it feel better and stronger
It improves cognitive function
It releases feel good hormones
It improves brain connectivity
It reduces anxiety depression
I love listening to music to recharge my brain
I also love hobbies to help me recharge
Skiing
Pilates
Drawing
Painting
Interior design
Vintage shopping
Getting matcha
Working on shy world
I think nature is a natural healer too
It’s important to connect with your people too
I also enjoy reading a lot especially learning new things
I love watching movies (esp A24) as a little escape
Consistency is what makes any goals actually work!
None of this stuff: manifesting your biggest desires, making your vision board reality or taking good care of your brain/health is possible without consistency. You get up everyday and get it done literally rain or shine, doesn’t matter your mood or busyness. This is my word for the new year and maybe one of my weaknesses needing improvement. I challenge you to stay consistent as well cause otherwise without it there’s no real progress.
I mean a blue fish told us best when we were kids to just keep swimming. Or the simple but very effective Nike motto to just do it lives in my head rent free. It’s so easily said but so hard done… you gotta keep going and try your best everyday! That’s the winning recipe and what I’ve learned will seriously help us achieve anything we dream!
Tips:
Write down small tasks to help you achieve bigger goals
Separate them by daily vs weekly vs monthly
Make sure not to be too hard on yourself
Some days showing up and trying is enough
Check in with yourself how things are going
Are there any areas that you can tweak?
Treat yourself when hitting your milestones and personal records
Remember the most important is to keep going!!
I hope you loved reading this as much as I truly loved writing it for you. I think when you grow up, being an adult is fucking scary and time flies by even though the days feel long sometimes. I hope you realize how special and unique you are and want to make this year as special and unique. I hope your year is seriously filled with: health, wealth, travel, adventures, love, belonging, creativity and magic!
Love,
Dove
