Howdy all.

It’s that time of year again. Have you looked back at 2024 in preparation for 2025? Have you evaluated the things that worked well in 2024? What in 2024 served you well and you desire more in your business? Are there some things that you want to let go of and not take along into 2025? How are your processes? What is working well in your processes? What needs a revamping? How about your calendar? Are there any things that you allowed onto your calendar that you didn’t serve your vision and need to be removed or not allowed in 2025? Is there something on your calendar that you really value that you want more of in 2025? Your calendar will tell you a lot about your priorities in both business and personal life.

I look at both my business life and my personal life with these questions. I am going to share a few of my discoveries with you.

Let’s start with my business. In 2024 I had some pretty big things happening in my personal life and I allowed those to pull me from my business and wasn’t as present and focused on my business. While this is what I chose in 2024, some consciously and some subconsciously, for 2025 I am choosing to be more focused on my business. I know that my business is a part of my divine calling, and I don’t want to be in delay because I am off lollygagging elsewhere instead of being present and focused. To safeguard my time in 2025, I have determined that I will allow very few things that aren’t business into my business hours. This is a thought that I need to keep front and center as I plan my days and weeks. While it may not always be easy, I know that the result will be what I desire in my business.

In the last few months, I have set a “work routine” setting on my phone. This setting only allows phone calls and messages from contacts to ring my phone. All other notifications are shut off. This helps to keep me focused. As the scam/robot calls are at an all-time high I got so frustrated with being interrupted all the time with the ring of my phone for it to just be nothing that needed my attention. I realized how much time these interruptions were costing me as they broke my train of thought. I will be keeping this habit. My focus has increased greatly as I am not picking up my phone to see who is calling and then seeing other notifications that then take a half hour of my time.

Now for my personal life. I made the discovery that I was bored as I asked questions and dug into this, I realized that I wasn’t walking in my purpose. This shook me a bit. I know my calling. I know what my life purpose is. However, I was not actively pursuing it. I have determined the next steps for pursuing this and I will be actively moving forward and filling my “empty” time with these things in 2025 and beyond.

I have picked up journaling again. This is the way that I process life, find answers and inspire myself. The clarity that journaling brings me is imperative to me walking in my fullness. I will continue this and making it even more important in my daily routines.

I challenge you to look at all aspects of your life and really ask the questions and evaluate what is working well and what needs to change. All habits and routines can be changed. It won’t be easy but it is very possible. I wish you all the best as you consciously make the choices to create the life that you desire.
