FREE DOWNLOAD – Goal Setting Template

As the new year unfolds, it brings a sense of possibility, a clean slate ready to be filled with new goals and dreams. But let’s face it—setting and sticking to resolutions can sometimes feel overwhelming. Big, ambitious plans often fizzle out by February, leaving us frustrated and disheartened. 

I don’t believe in New Year’s Resolutions. It’s too much pressure and truthfully I've never had one I've stuck to.

This year, let’s try something different. Instead of aiming for perfection, let’s focus on progress. By setting small, meaningful goals and celebrating each step along the way, the aim is create lasting change that feels joyful, not stressful. Here’s how to make 2025 your most fulfilling year yet. 

Start with Reflection

Before setting new goals, take a moment to reflect on the year gone by. 

• What went well? Celebrate your wins, big and small. 
• What challenges did you face? Acknowledge them without judgment. 
• What lessons did you learn? These insights will guide your future goals. 

 Reflection isn’t about dwelling on the past or knocking youself down - it’s about understanding where you’ve been so you can map out where you want to go. 

Focus on What Matters Most

It’s easy to get caught up in setting goals that sound good but don’t truly resonate. Instead, ask yourself: 

• What brings me joy?
• What aligns with my values and priorities?
• What do I want to feel this year? 

By focusing on what truly matters, you’ll set goals that inspire and motivate you rather than drain your energy. 

Break It Down: The Power of Small Steps

Big goals can feel intimidating. Breaking them into smaller, actionable steps makes them manageable.

For example: 

Goal: Start my fitness routine. 

Step 1: Walk for 20 minutes three times a week. 

Step 2: Add one strength-training session a week. 

Step 3: Try a new activity like yoga or swimming. 

Each step builds momentum, and before you know it, you’re achieving more than you thought possible. 

Make It Enjoyable

The best way to stick to a goal? Make it something you look forward to. Find ways to infuse joy into the process: 

• Wellness Goals: Pair your new fitness routine with Trimmed to support energy, healthy weight and metabolism. 
• Skin Goals: Sip Revival and Flourish as part of a relaxing morning ritual to boost collagen and hydration. 
• Career Goals: Celebrate small wins with a favourite treat or a night off to recharge. 

 When goals feel like a treat, not a chore, you’re more likely to stick with them. 

Track Your Progress and Celebrate Wins

Keep a journal, use an app, or create a vision board to track your progress. Every small milestone is worth celebrating—it keeps you motivated and reminds you how far you’ve come. 

For example: 

• Set a weekly check-in to review what worked and what needs adjusting. 
• Reward yourself for milestones, like treating yourself to a spa day after hitting a fitness goal or taking a weekend getaway after reaching a career milestone. 

Embrace Flexibility

Life doesn’t always go as planned, and that’s okay. Goals aren’t set in stone—they’re a guide. If something isn’t working, adjust it. Give yourself grace and remember: it’s progress, not perfection, that matters.
