🌟 become your dream girl before 2025! 🌟

THIS WILL *ACTUALLY* CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

do you know how many people are waiting until next year to glow up and actually start to become their dream self? now just think, if you started now, before 2025, how far you would be. how much more skills and knowledge you would have. you're literally getting a head start. so what are you doing dilly-dallying until 2025? heres your guide to ending this year accomplishing everything you need to and starting 2025 with everything you need.

in this post i will include mindset shifts, how to become a better person, actionable advice, actually becoming a new person <3

👑know what you want.

who do you want to become at the end of this year? what does your dream girl look like? what kind of body does she have? her clothes? who are the people she hangs out with on a daily basis- friends?

create a very clear version in your head and use pinterest to show photos of what your goals are- for ex: girls at the gym, journalling, writing, studying, reading, learning, walking, with friends, spending time outside, going swimming, playing sports, doing a skill/ hobby.

you can also find an idol/ an inspiration- a youtuber, influencer, parent, anyone who you look up to and want to somewhat have a similar life like them. (for ex: thewizardliz, tam kaur) whatever is important to you this goes hand in hand with the next point:

👑goals.

any unfinished projects, any goals you said you'd do in the beginning of the year, get them all down on paper. if you've finished any of them, great!- tick them off. but if you haven't then its time to lock in. pick the ones that are most important to you. that you know that achieving these will 100% get you closer to your goal. doing this makes sure you get rid of the ones that you think are "productive" when in reality they just help you procrastinate.

finish any unfinished projects or books you have before the new year begins because 2025 is about bringing in new, fresh opportunities and things. for me personally, i have a few crochet projects that i want to finish before the end of this year so i can start the new year with nothing old from the year before!

👑cutting.

you are going to be becoming a new person- new mindset, new values, new perception on life, etc. the people in your life currently probably won't align with this new version of you. because if the people around you still only know the old you, your growth won't happen because it will feel extremely unnatural without the right people around you. this means you're going to have to decide whether you are letting any of your friends go. if they don't serve you or make you feel happier or bring in any value to your life, im sorry but its time to cut them off.

but of course if you actually have good, kind, loving friends who grow with you and support you all the way, keep them. the goal is to remove the people who don't serve your highest self. not remove the people who you know will be there for you.

but along with this, if you notice that those people are acting a bit more weirdly/ strangely now that you're improving- giving you backhanded compliments, talking about you behind your back, or just giving you a weird vibe in general, trust your gut. those people don't want to see you going to a higher place where you're thriving- keeping them in your life can be terrible for your highest good.

remember that doing this doesn't mean that you're not going to get better because BETTER ALWAYS COMES. god will give you more people who you couldn't have ever dreamed could be so amazing. so never keep toxic people in your life out of fear that you'll be alone forever. (remember: 8 billion people in the world.)

👑mindset.

dont wait to change your mindset only once you achieve the dream body or the best grade- start now. people can take away everything from you but they can't take away your mindset, skills, and knowledge. here are some mindset shifts to develop:

the abundance mindset. know that everything happens for your highest and greatest good only! everything will work out in the end for you because God hasn't put you on this earth to suffer. if you are religeous (God) or spiritual (the universe) or even believe theres a higher faith, why on earth would you willingly believe that your purpose here is to have a bad time? obstacles will come your way and you will make bad decisions and mistakes. but all these jsut contribute to the person you are today and the person who you'll be in the future!

i will make it. believe in your vision and yourself so fiercely that you know in your bones that you will achieve your goals. you will travel the world and discover new places, you will get to retire your parents, you will get to buy expensive bags for your mom, you will be that rich sister/daughter/ wife, you will help people around the whole world, you will have people around you who love and care for you, you will achieve whatever dream you had since you were a kid and whatever dream you have right now. you will you will you will! know this so strongly but also know that i will achieve there one day, but i also am so blessed and grateful for the life i have right now! i have so many privileges and such an amazing life that i would never trade away for anything.

growth mindset if you fail, IT IS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD. please stop being afraid of failing, be afraid of never trying!! you have no idea how freeing failing is because once you do, then you'll never have that "what if" in the back of your mind, never have that small voice asking what could have happened if you had done that thing. so if you do fail, perfect! that means that you won't waste any more time wondering what would have happened. having a growth mindset means that you know you're human and you'll make mistakes, but that doesnt make you a bad person and it doesn't take away your capability to still accomplish your goals. if you fail be able to brush it off, and keep trying again and again. Thomas Edison had 1000 failed attempts to make the light bulb. yet he learnt from what didn't work, took that into consideration, then tried again. and again. and again. and now? your probably sitting in a room with light that you have because he persisted in his goal!

stay positive always have a positive outlook and perspective of life. look at the beauty and what you have instead of what you lack. feel happy joyful energy vibrate through you everyday. do things that just make you a more positive person in general! feeling happier makes you look 100x more attractive and will change the way you interact with the world!!

👑be a better person.

new year new you right? so its time you up level the way you talk and treat others. because the goal isn't to be A b*tch, the goal is to be THAT b*tch! so going around being rude isn't going to do anything for you. being kind however- having manners, checking up on people, asking how their day was, being charismatic, etc- thats what can get you so much more opportunities! you're going to be kind, but not a people pleaser- ofc prioritise yourself always but also at the same time- if you have made a commitment to be somewhere for someone at a certain time, honor that commitment. be the friend you wish you had.

being mean to everyone just because you were hurt by someone else is not it. yes, so you were hurt. grow, evolve, heal. you're stronger than this. you're stronger than you think. you can overcome anything and you can become an even better person, capable of loving fully and wholly!

misc tips:

change what you consume. start watching thewizardliz, tam kaur on youtube. have an inspiration/ idol to look up to in life.

workout. i dont care if its not one of your goals to have a fit body, but don't workout for that. workout because you love yourself. because its actually proven to make you happier, because you deserve a healthy, fully functioning body.

DRINK WATER. do you know how many benefits something as simple as that has? clear skin, unchapped lips, better digestive health, weight management, better health, feel more alert and energized, better for immune system, increases brain power, eliminate toxins, ETC ETC!

have a morning routine that literally sets yourself up for success. stimulate your mind with reading self help, learn something, study, focus on a skill, do something that makes your mind active.

journal & check in with yourself.- document your progress! write about how you felt after everyday. did you feel esp happy during anything? do you feel satisfied at the end of the day? or do you find that your day made you feel tired and drained? do you feel regret and wished you did more at the end of the day?

diary- links with the earlier point. document the day. you can write about it, or what i also like to do is video myself yapping to the camera. talk about whatever you want and let your mind wander free!

you are that it girl! dress the part, smell good, make yourself feel so good that you just can't help but feel like you can conqure anything!!

make sure you're consistently reminded of your goals. what do you want? why do you want to achieve it? reminding yourself of your goals will actually motivate you and make you stop procrastinating. for me its that i don't want any old projects or books having to continue into the new year so i've made a plan that will definitely get it done before the next year!

SMART Goal Setting: Making Your Goals Clear and Achievable!

Hey everyone! Today, we’re diving into a tool that will make your goals clearer and easier to achieve—SMART Goal Setting. Whether it's in your work, daily life, or personal development, the SMART method is your ultimate goal-setting assistant. Ready to explore? Let’s dig into this effective goal-setting framework!

What is SMART Goal Setting?

SMART is a framework for setting goals that involves five key principles to help you create specific, achievable goals. SMART stands for:

Specific

Measurable

Achievable

Relevant

Time-bound

These principles help you avoid vague goals, ensuring that your goals are clear, actionable, and challenging. Let’s see how these principles work in practice!

1. Specific

Goals need to be specific and clear so you know exactly what you're working towards. Vague goals are often hard to achieve.

Example:

Vague: “I want to get healthier.”

Specific: “I plan to go to the gym three times a week and reduce my sugar intake over the next three months.”

Story: Da Ming wanted to improve his health. Initially, his goal was just to “get healthier,” which led to frequent failures. Later, he set a specific goal: going to the gym three times a week and reducing sugar intake. After three months, he successfully improved his health and lost 5 kilograms!

2. Measurable

When setting goals, ensure you can measure progress. This way, you know how close you are to achieving your goal and when you have reached it.

Example:

Unmeasurable: “I want to improve my sales performance.”

Measurable: “I plan to increase my sales by 20% in the next quarter.”

Story: Xiao Jie, a sales representative, wanted to improve her sales. Her initial goal was simply to “increase sales,” but lacked specific metrics. She later set a goal to “increase sales by 20%,” and tracked her progress weekly. Ultimately, she achieved her goal and received praise from her manager!

3. Achievable

Goals should be realistic and challenging yet attainable with your current resources and conditions.

Example:

Unachievable: “I want to become an industry expert in one month.”

Achievable: “I plan to complete two relevant online courses and participate in industry networking over the next three months.”

Story: Da Ming aimed to enhance his professional skills. Initially, he set an unrealistic goal to “become an industry expert in one month,” which led to immense pressure and failure. He revised his goal to “complete two relevant online courses and participate in industry networking,” eventually improving his skills and gaining more job opportunities.

4. Relevant

Ensure your goals align with your long-term vision and core needs. Relevant goals help you achieve both career and personal objectives.

Example:

Irrelevant: “I want to learn to play the guitar.”

Relevant: “I want to improve my communication skills to help my team collaborate more effectively.”

Story: Xiao Jie wanted to boost her work efficiency and initially set a goal to “learn to play the guitar.” Realizing this wasn’t related to her work goals, she adjusted her objective to “improve communication skills” and took relevant training. Her work efficiency and team collaboration significantly improved.

5. Time-bound

Goals need a clear timeframe, giving you a deadline to stay motivated and measure progress.

Example:

No Time Limit: “I want to learn French.”

Time-bound: “I plan to complete an introductory French course and hold basic conversations within six months.”

Story: Xiao Jie wanted to learn French and set a vague goal to “learn French,” which led to procrastination. She later set a specific timeframe: “complete an introductory French course and hold basic conversations in six months.” This helped her track progress and meet her learning goals on time.

Conclusion

From the stories and examples above, we see that the SMART goal-setting method not only helps you create clear goals but also organizes your path to achieving them. If you want to set effective goals in work, life, or personal development, try using the SMART method. Let’s use SMART to achieve our visions and create a better future together!

Hope these insights are helpful! If you have other goal-setting experiences or questions, feel free to share in the comments. Let’s discuss and learn together! See you next time!

I had a lot of training stuff to achieve today. Turns out that when very heavily caffinated I can achieve a huge amount in a very short space of time. This is in direct contrast to the last four years where I have kept my caffeine consumption to a minimum and have struggled to focus on stuff. This is probably something I should put some thought into, but in true me style I shall simply acknowledge that caffeine works and carry on with life.

S.M.A.R.T goals:

How to set and achieve your goals

What does SMART stand for?

S - specific. don't just set vague goals like "i wanna get fit" or "i wanna get abs". how are you gonna know when/ where to start? if you want to get fit: your goal could be "go to the gym for 30 mins everyday" or "i want to run 5k in under 30 mins". whatever works for you. some other examples: -> if your big goal is to get high marks on your next test: your "mini" goals/ steps should be to study everyday for at least 30-60mins. -> if your big goal is to get money/ become rich: your steps/ mini goals should be to save $___ daily first. and also figure out a way you can make a mini business/ get a job.

M - measurable. make sure that your goals are measurable- meaning that you should be able to track them. some examples: -> if your goal is to read more: then create or find a habit tracker or something so everyday when you read, you can mark it down for that day. ! recommended resource: James Clear's habit tracker journal- you can find it on amazon.

A - Achievable keep your goals realistic and attainable. if you know you dont have the time/ energy to read a whole book in 1 week, dont do it- otherwise you'll get easily discouraged. the goldilocks principle: don't make it too easy, where it doesn't give you a challenge, but don't make it too hard either, otherwise you'll get easily discouraged.

R - Relevant basically a WHY. why do you want/ need to accomplish this goal? have a motivation which drives you. make sure your goal is relevant to you in some sort of way. example: -> if you want to learn a language such as spanish, why do you wanna learn it? because you want to travel to Spain one day? to be able to communicate with someone? even if the purpose is as simple as "wanting to be bilingual cus it makes me feel cool and impressive" - if that motivates you, then go ahead!

T - time bound your goals need to have some sort of deadline or urgency attached to it- otherwise you could take all the time you want to start and procrastinate as much as you want. having a deadline for the goal will motivate you to take action sooner, than later.

how to use SMART goals effectively:

decide on the goal. (something that you actually need/ want to accomplish.)

break it down into smaller steps. (very small. so small that you can start working on whatever it is NOW.) you want to get high marks on your test? lets break it down. study 30 mins everyday -> walk to desk -> get material out -> identify what you need to study -> find your weaker topics & write it out -> create a planner or smth -> start studying. // need help? find videos online, go thru material again, find study tips, etc.

write them down. (helps you stay accountable. also people who write their goals down are 42% more likely to achieve them than people who don't write it down.)

create an action plan. (relates to the 2nd point. outline the necessary steps to take, identify resources, set milestones, plan for potential obstacles.)

monitor and evaluate progress. (regularly review your goals, mistakes, and progress. what could you do better to be more efficient and quicker? how can you learn from your mistakes?)

stay committed and flexible. (you really need to be committed to achieve the goals, you shouldn't just start off super excited, doing great in the first week then slacking off. you've made a commitment to YOURSELF. respect yourself enough to stick to it! but also be flexible with your goals. if you're reeeallyy not able to do it one day, plan to do a bit more the next day. stay focussed and don't get discouraged by setbacks.)

celebrate achievements. (recognise when you've hit a major milestone, and celebrate it! this helps you maintain motivation and a sense of accomplishment. and reward yourself!!)

random additional tips:

visualisation. (such a strong form of manifestation. everyday visualise yourself with your goals, feeling all the emotions and thoughts that come with it! visualisation can also really boost your motivation and drive to achieve it.)

PRIORITIES. (remember that also, all goals aren't equally important. prioritise the ones that really matter. this doesn't mean that you can't focus on the other goals, just make sure the ones that need more attention, get more attention.)

positive language. (use kind and encouraging words towards yourself. know and understand that you are that girl who can achieve ANYTHING she sets her mind to.)

seek support. (ask friends and family or a mentor for help. if you want, be careful tho, share your goals with them to help you stay accountable. and if you know a person who's achieved your goals, GET ADVICE FROM THEM! where better to get advice from than someone who's been through what you're going through?)

stay organised. (self explanatory. just stay organised. messy space = messy mind. clean space = clean mind.)

maintain balance. (of course your goals are important, but so is the age you're currently at. especially if you're a teenage, DONT WASTE THESE YEARS!! get out of the house! make friends! go to parties! LIVE LIFE TO ITS FULLEST. also make sure that you get the adequate rest needed!)

write about your journey. (write about the struggles, the obstacles, how you overcame them, insights you got on this journey, etc. trust me, it'll be so interesting and helpful to read when you're older.)

How to Make "The New Year, New You" a Reality

Let me start this off first by saying waiting till January 1st to become "that girl" is overrated. You do not need to wait till a specific day or time to decide to reinvent yourself. Like Nike, Just Do It. While January 1st does signal a new year, a new time and the possibility of new unknown things the key to actually achieving your goals is discipline. It takes discipline to start, discipline to continue and discipline to keep progressing. None of your goals will ever come true if you aren't discipline.

Now that that's out the way here's the best, most realistic ways I've learned to becoming "The New Year, New You"

Set specific and realistic goals: It's easy to get overzealous and shoot for the stars when coming up with goals to become your new self. The key however, is to be realistic and precise. To know exactly what you want to achieve and then find out how. You want to clearly define what you want to achieve in the upcoming year (or any time period). Make your goals specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) to increase your chances of success.

2.  Break down your goals into actionable steps: Break down your goals into smaller, more measurable steps. If your goal is to lose 50 pounds in 1 year break that goal down into steps that will lead you to the goal. I think of it as working backwards. So instead of having this big, intimidating goal of losing 50 pounds in a year you will have smaller goals like:

Working out 2-3x a week or for at least 15 days a month

Drinking 1 galloon of water a day

Get 8 hours of sleep

Cut out certain foods

This will make the goal less overwhelming and easier to tackle. Create a plan or a timeline to guide your progress throughout the year.

3. Track your progress: Regularly monitor your progress towards your goals. I like to keep a journal both online and a physical one that way there is a visual guide I can reference when measuring progress. Other ways to do this are with goal-tracking apps, or create a vision board to visually represent your goals and track your achievements. In addition to tracking your progress you should celebrate any made along the way. No matter how big or small progress is still progress and worth celebrating. Give yourself your props! This is a long game not a sprint. Its ok to reward yourself.

4. Stay adaptable and flexible:  Be open to adjusting your goals or strategies if needed. Life circumstances may change, things may not always work out as we planned and it's important to adapt and find alternative solutions if necessary versus giving up completely. Be flexible in your approach while staying committed to the essence of your goals. If you need to take a break and regroup, do that. Like I said before this is a long game and that often includes hiccups and bumps along the road, the important thing is to never stop trying to make your goals your reality.
