🌿 Wednesday Wisdom: Less is more in 2025

January 22, 2025

As the new year begins, it's tempting to dive into a long list of goals.

Yep, that's always me—on January 1st, clutching my mile-long list of everything I want to achieve by the end of the year. It's honestly exhausting.

So, this year I’m taking a new approach and embracing the “less really is more” mindset!

Instead of drowning in massive to-do lists or chasing lofty ambitions, breaking down our goals into smaller, achievable steps can lead to lasting progress—without the burnout. And that is exactly what I’m aiming for this year! 

Maybe you’re looking to do the same? 

Perhaps it’s your health and wellness that you’d like to improve.

Instead of a drastic fitness overhaul, focus on small habits such as exercising for 20 minutes three times a week or starting a five-minute morning stretch routine.

Or maybe your focus is personal development, and you’d like to read more books this year (this one is for me!).

Instead of trying to tackle 50 books right off the bat, read 10 pages every day or dedicate 30 minutes on weekends for pleasure reading.

Or it could be work-life balance.

Rather than trying to “balance it all,” (because I know that’s our nature!), try focusing on one thing at a time. Dedicate one evening each week for family or personal time—no work distractions— or set boundaries and make a rule to unplug after 7 PM.

This year let’s embrace small steps for BIG results. By focusing on incremental progress, we reduce stress and set ourselves up for greater success.

And remember to celebrate the small wins along the way—because they’re the ones that make the journey so meaningful!

Happy Wednesday to you! 🌿

👍 Wednesday's Money Tip: If you're aiming to save more money this year, start small.

Try setting up an automatic $50 transfer each paycheck into a separate savings or investment account or open a high-yield savings account to help your money grow faster with little effort.

Small changes can add up to BIG savings over time, giving you a sense of control without feeling deprived! Click here for more inspiration.
