Personally, I have never really taken new year resolutions seriously and I'm guessing it could be the reason why I had struggled a lot in the past years. I was basically surviving and not living. At a point, it felt like someone else was living my life because I was not in control. In fact my life was living itself. Well, all that changed last year when I became intentional with how I want my life to be.
I started setting goals and with each goal that I set, I made sure there are detailed approaches attached to achieving it. My intentionality last year was 100/100 because I did not come to play.
My new year resolution this year 2025 is basically a continuation from last year. So this is what I did last year, I sat back, relaxed and mentally accessed my activities for 2024. I visited my laid down goals and saw that I achieved 70% of it. I'd say that I tried because some of these goals at the time sounded so unrealistic. I remember telling my onboarder that before 2024 will end, I should at least be at 2k HP. Given my busy schedule, she laughed and said talk is cheap. I aimed for a 5k HP maximum but since I could not achieve it last year, I should be able to achieve it this year and that will keep the ball rolling for the first resolution of the year.
Being someone heavy on procrastination, I hope to do better and do things as they come without saving it for later. I hope to improve my focus and give 100% attention to all that I do and get it over and done with without any distractions.
Last year, I did neglect myself, I stole from my sleep time and my health suffered a lot. The thing is I lacked proper arrangement of my time and this caused me several wasted hours that I would have channelled to good use. To compensate for time lost and still meet up with activities both online and offline, I find myself cutting short my sleep. You know, I use to always feel that 24hours is not enough till I discovered that it's just distraction talking because when one is focused, things basically get done with the speed of light. I hope to improve a lot this year with my time management skills.
Still neglecting myself, I recently stumbled upon an African hair Vlogger. Nigerian to be precise, she has this really long beautiful hair, well oiled and moisturised such that you can see it shine from her videos. I was immediately hooked and went through her videos and her hair journey. I noticed how she washes her hair and even comb them without any breakage and it was quite fascinating to me because that can never be my hair. Although I also have a good length myself, but after going through her hair care routine, I realized that I have not been giving my hair the treatment, care and attention that it needs. It explains my really slow growth and dry scalp.
My daughter's hair also suffers from the same fate so tomorrow, I would be going shopping for some hair products for my daughter and I. Would love to see how beautifully our hair turns out by the end of this year.
One challenging task that I'd like to start up with and see through to the end of this year is posting everyday so that I can get the consistency badge for my blog, increase my HP and also my Leo power. More so, posting everyday will also help my writing improve because one thing with consistency is that it leads to improvement. To break down this task and turn it to a piece of cake, I hope to take advantage of the Inleo monthly prompt. Would also be putting more effort in my engagement here and curate more than I did last year. Hoping to meet new friends and people of like mind.
So, without wasting time, I already outlined my goals for this year both the carryovers and the new ones. I'm super pumped and ready for the goodies that this year brings. Being the first day of the month which also doubles as HPUD, I powered up 20hive and would also set this post to a 100% HP.
