As we step into 2025 (it is still January, it still counts!), I’ve decided to focus on something truly personal: growth. I started the year with great intentions, setting myself up for success. The first 21 days of January were dedicated to a manifesting challenge, and I must say, it has been nothing short of transformative. I have fully subscribed to Gabby Bernstein’s app at this point (no ad, I pay for it myself). The daily meditations have become a cornerstone of my routine, helping me feel calmer, more present, and ultimately happier. This shift hasn’t gone unnoticed — Rich has mentioned how much more at ease I seem.
The word & its meaning
Through this meditative process, I’ve spent time reflecting on my goals and intentions for the year. Slowly but surely, I’ve discovered that my word for 2025 is “vibrant.”
The Cambridge Dictionary defines it as:
- Energetic, exciting, and full of enthusiasm
- Vibrant color or light is bright and strong
What “vibrant” means to me
And that’s exactly what I want for myself in 2025. I’m aiming to live a more vibrant life — one full of energy, excitement, and brightness. In a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming, I believe it’s essential to embrace the things that bring color and positivity to our lives.
For me, being vibrant also means making space for moments of rest and rejuvenation. It’s about balancing the hustle with the calm. The meditations have taught me that taking small breaks, like pausing to meditate or reflect, gives me the energy to come back even more focused, awake, and ready to tackle what’s next.
Another aspect of my “vibrant” journey is creativity. This year, I’m committing to writing more — whether it’s blog posts, books, or simply putting my thoughts down on paper. Writing has always been a powerful outlet for me. I want to give myself the space to explore it more fully. Photography will always be close to my heart, so I’m also keeping my social media profiles alive with my creative projects.
In a more tangible sense, being vibrant for me this year also means refreshing my wardrobe. I have so many colorful, dopamine-boosting clothes in my closet that I rarely wear (which reminds me to find this dress in the back of my closet). Instead, I often find myself gravitating toward beige and gray. But not anymore — I want to embrace those bright, energetic colors that make me feel alive and ready to take on the world.
2025 is about living fully, with intention and excitement. I can’t wait to see where this vibrant journey takes me.
