Abundance in 2025
I love New Years time. We rested a bunch after Christmas and now there is snow outside and I am sitting with my weighted blanket next to the Christmas tree that I just don’t want to take down because it is so pretty. Lately I have really been intentional about making our house as cozy as possible. We are leaning in to the relaxing vibes in so many ways, from starting a real fire to putting on a fake fire on YouTube to cozy relaxing classical playing throughout the house with the lights low to sound baths playing so much that my toddler asks to watch them now. I love the fresh start energy of the new year. Not that I am putting on any pressure to change myself but I love the idea of a fresh calendar. So many possibilities! I also love reflecting on the past year. I love looking at all the ups and downs and how I have grown. I first bring abundance in to my reflections, looking back at all that I am grateful for. No matter how the year went, there is ALWAYS something to be thankful for.
I have goals every New Year. That is just who I am. I dream big and go big and love a good challenge. So this year is no different. I wanted to share some with you because I feel like I have come so far in how I set these up. My main difference is that I come at these goals with a sense of abundance. I am not coming from a place of hate or guilt or shame or even trying to change myself. I have learned or rather am still learning to love and nourish all parts of myself. So instead, I want to make changes so that my life feels more full and lighthearted and healthy and energized and full of love. I am not coming from a sense of punishment. I don’t have the attitude, “Oh I will be happy when…” I know that I regardless of my goals, I will always continue to focus on being in the moment and finding the joy there.
My first goal is to not drink any alcohol in 2025. You might think oh well you are pregnant then you will be breastfeeding so that will be easy. Nope not easy for me. Even being pregnant it isn’t easy for me not to drink. But I have so many tools now to cope with this. I am excited and nervous, like very nervous. I am already having dreams about accidentally drinking lol If you have had these dreams then you know what I am talking about. Anyways, I have thought about doing this a lot before but it just seemed too daunting, too restrictive, too limiting. I had other things to focus on. I feel like now is the time to try this though and I actually feel so excited. I am excited to feel good! Not pregnant. Not hungover. My drinking habits have gotten soooooo much better but at the same time, it occupies a lot of my brain. There is a lot of mental gymnastics there that just gets soooo old. It is hard for me to do anything in moderation so I am excited for it to just be off the table. Now my brain can focus on other things. I know I won’t slip up. That just isn’t in my nature. But I am nervous for just how hard it will be. I have changed so much though. I know how to manage hard feelings. I am not feeling a need to escape quite as much recently. I have faith in myself that I can do hard things. I am excited to see where this takes me. So y’all will be seeing a lot of mocktail recipes this year :)
My next goal is not as specific but I want to lean in to motherhood fully this year. Second baby boy comes this spring. We are most likely having a little Pisces baby, which I am so excited about. With my first baby I tried to hold on to who I was pre baby so, so tightly. I didn’t let myself blossom in to who I was supposed to become. With this next postpartum time I want to fully embrace motherhood. I want to let it change me. This is the most special time of my life and I want to be fully in it. Nothing else really matters in this time except being the best mother I can be to these little boys. They are everything and making memories is all I want for 2025. Again, I am coming at this with a sense of abundance - I know leaning in to motherhood this year, I will feel fulfilled, loved, and bask in the joy of my little boys.
My last goal is to make Get Greauxing my sole job. Right now, I do some side work to make money. It is such a hustle starting your own business and I wouldn’t trade it for anything, but there has been a lot of sacrifice doing it. I won’t go in to much detail here because there are a lot of exciting things in the works that are a surprise, but I just wanted to share all of my 2025 goals. Again, this goal will bring me so much abundance and freedom! I feel so grateful for this opportunity and for the ever expanding Get Greauxing community.
Do you have any goals for 2025? I talk about how to bring these goals to life in a pinned instagram post by making your goals specific, naming your barriers and putting in a plan NOW so that when the time comes you are ready, figuring out your why, and lastly, bring abundance in to it. Cheers to 2025, y’all :)
