I asked what people were planning for themselves for 2025, good stuff that we definitely aren’t calling the ‘R’ word (“resolutions”). Here’s what you said. (And if you want in on the survey, you can click here to participate.)
Question 1: “Are you making any resolutions this year?”

Nope, ’cause I’m perfect as I am. (33.3%)
Of course. I already have my entire year planned and charted out on my Kanban board. (0.0%)
Uh, sort of. I don’t really call them ‘resolutions’, just vague guidelines about how I can do better. (30.8%)
Yep, but I’m trying to be sensible and realistic. Make a few promises to myself and stick to them. (35.9%)
Question 2: “Whatโs the best way you plan to spoil yourself or improve your life in 2025?”
Your responses were so cool: here we go:
- “Travel….”
- “Books”
- “I plan to live in the moment and stop dwelling on the pasf”
- “Write another book, read more, spend time with family! “
- “Putting myself first. Rebuilding my confidence, realizing that people don’t have to like me in order to be me. Just focus on myself and others opinions don’t matter to who I am ๐”
- “Improve my physical fitness.”
- “Read more, duh! Definitely been spending more time on games and tv lately, gotta get back to my happy place.”
- “Staying happy and always smiling ๐”
- “I’m already spoiled and all is good ๐”
- “By reading more books! I have some many books to read! And some are really long”
- “Mani-pedies”
- “Not worry, be patient, get out some more”
- “Go to church to improve my life. To spoil myself would be to go shopping more. “
- “We are planning on moving to another state.”
- “Keep my healthy eating and exercise going and maybe buy more stuff for myself that I normally don’t “
- “My life has been a surprise the last few weeks. Just going with the flow. In two weeks we close on our new house in Kentucky. I figure the next year is just settling in and making a new normal. Iโm just trying to enjoy the experience. “
- “Ensure that I take a self care day every month.”
- “Make myself a priority for a change. “
- “Getting mentally and physically healthier “
- “Strive for peaceful slumber. Eat healthier. Write every day. “
- “Eating healthier and taking better care of the house. “
- “Travel travel travel”
- “Meh. Hope for the best? “
- “Self care and reading books. “
- “Buy more books”
- “Winning the lottery I don’t play!”
- “Improve my heart condition. “
- “Take better care of my health “
- “Do what I want to do!!!”
- “I just wish I had more time to sleep, then I could focus better. It’s very hard to concentrate on minimal sleep”
- “Find a worthy cause to dedicate my time to “
- “Ohhh Iโm retiring!! And then surviving on side hustles “
- “Be more open with my feelings…..”
Great choices. Glad to say I share some of them. Good luck and blessings in 2025.
