My five intentions for 2025
Well hello there 2025, I’ve decided to set five intentions for the year in the hope that it makes me stick to them!
My five intentions for 2025
1. Exploring the North East
2025 will be the year I hope to make more of living in the beautiful North East.
There’s so much to discover, from breathtaking coastal walks and scenic countryside to historic landmarks and charming towns.
I’m looking forward to venturing out more, finding hidden gems, and creating new memories in this incredible part of the country that we’re lucky enough to call home.
2. Spending Quality Time with Elsie and Steve
As Elsie grows up, I want to make the most of these precious years.
Whether it’s exploring the outdoors, crafting at home, or curling up with a good book together, spending quality time with her will remain a top priority.
Watching her discover the world is a joy, and I want to soak up every moment.
Steve and I managed three date nights last year and I’d like to at least match that this year.
Spending quality time together as a couple is not something I take for granted.
3. Reading More Books That Spark Joy
Reading has always been a source of comfort and inspiration.
This year, I want to carve out more time to get lost in great stories.
Whether it’s uplifting fiction, gripping thrillers, or books that resonate deeply, I’m looking forward to discovering new favourites and finding more moments of calm in the pages of a good book.
I bought myself a new Kindle in 2024 and it’s already made a huge difference to how many books I’ve read.
And of course I won’t forget about physical books I’ve already ordered three which are in the more self-help genre which will be arriving any day now.
4. Focusing on Health and Wellbeing
2025 will be about making time for self-care and focusing on my health – both physical and mental.
Whether that’s getting outdoors more, finding moments of mindfulness, or prioritising rest, the aim is to create a better balance and feel more energised for whatever the year brings.
5. Creating New Experiences
This year, I want to be open to new experiences, whether that’s learning a skill, visiting somewhere new, or simply stepping out of my comfort zone a little more often.
Life is about the moments that challenge and excite us, and 2025 feels like the perfect time to embrace them.
Here’s to a year full of adventure, connection, and joy!
