Ways to Thrive this Year

The clock has struck midnight, the confetti has settled, and now it's go time. But let's be real—this isn't about the typical "New Year, New You" mantra (cue eye roll). Thriving in 2025 doesn't mean a complete overhaul of who you are; it's about embracing the amazing person you already are and leveling up. Whether you're a Millennial balancing your side hustle and self-care Sundays or a Gen Xer juggling family, career, and the occasional existential crisis, here's your no-fluff guide to making this your year to thrive.

1. Define What Thriving Means to You

Forget what Instagram influencers or that one friend from high school (you know the one) says thriving looks like. Take a moment to reflect: Is it more time with family? Financial freedom? Conquering a new skill? Thriving isn't one-size-fits-all. It's your path, your way.

✨ Pro Tip: Journal your goals, but keep it simple—think bullet points, not novels.

2. Build a Routine You Actually Like

Morning routines aren't just for CEOs and wellness gurus. Start small: a cup of coffee without distractions, a 10-minute stretch, or blasting your favorite 90s playlist to get in the zone.

✨ Playlist Pick: Spice Girls for Millennials. Fleetwood Mac for Gen X. (Or, you know, both.)

3. Surround Yourself with Positive Energy

Jim Rohn said, "You're the average of the five people you spend the most time with." Translation? Hang with people who inspire you and lift you up. Whether it's IRL or in a supportive online community, your circle matters.

4. Celebrate Every Win (Yes, Even the Small Ones)

Thriving isn't about waiting for the big milestones; it's about celebrating the little victories. Did you make it through Monday without crying? Thriving (Perimenopause & Menopause, am I right? Finished that book you've been meaning to read? Thriving.

5. Wear You Intentions (Literally)

Sometimes, a tangible reminder can keep you focused. Whether it's a mantra bracelet, a focus-word necklace, or your favorite graphic tee, let what you wear empower you.

6. Don't Forget to Rest

Thriving doesn't mean burning the candle at both ends. Take a nap, watch a movie, or go full-on 90s with a bubble bath and Enya playlist. Rest is productive.

7. Keep Learning and Growing

Take a class, listen to a podcast, or finally figure out how to sort of your storage on your iPhone. Thriving is about staying curious and open to new experiences.

✨ Podcast Picks:

• Millennials: The Skinny Confidential.
• Gen X: Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard.

8. Take Action, Even When it's Scary

Thriving means moving forward, even if it's just one tiny step at a time. Feel the fear, do it anyway, and watch yourself grow.

👣 On a Personal Note: I believe in walking the talk, so in the spirit of “feeling the fear,” I’m challenging myself to make more videos where I speak directly to the camera. It’s a little nerve-wracking, but I know showing up for my business is what drives progress!
