Theme for 2025

Finding Balance in the New Year: My Theme for 2025

A new year brings fresh energy, new opportunities, and the chance to be intentional about how we want to spend our time. Instead of rigid resolutions, which often don’t last a few weeks into the new year, I love choosing a theme. For me a theme helps me focus on what truly matters. It’s so easy to get swept up in the busyness of life, the switch to autopilot and default ways of thinking and being. I find by having a theme it keeps me aligned to what is important to me, and is a powerful way to stay mindful throughout the year and make conscious choices. 

As my theme for 2025, I’ve chosen two words: FUN and CALM.

I felt like in 2024 I had lost the fun aspect in many ways. Life moves fast, responsibilities pile up, and it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle. I believe a life well lived is one that is fulfilling, on a soul level. It’s not about what you have, how successful or productive you are, however how you feel day to day, how much fun you are having and the connections you experience. By consciously integrating both fun and calm, I can create a life that feels fulfilling and balanced.

Fun is about joy, playfulness, and spontaneity. It’s about saying yes to laughter, adventure, and experiences that make me feel alive. Sometimes, fun means catching upswith friends or family, trying something new, or simply allowing myself to be silly like I did as a child. It’s about embracing lightheartedness and making space for moments that bring me happiness. When we are swept up in our wired ways of being we can miss these moments that are deeply soulfully fulfilling. Nothing like a good belly laugh! 

On the other hand, calm is about peace, presence, and self-care. It reminds me to slow down, breathe deeply, and listen to what my body and mind need. I feel very drawn to calm, it’s what I need to create more balance in my life. 

Calm might look like starting my day with meditation, practicing yoga, or spending time in nature. It’s a way to reset, recharge, and stay grounded amidst life’s demands.

By letting fun and calm guide my choices, I’m creating a year that is both joyful and restorative. What are your themes for 2025? What are you embracing this year? Let’s make it meaningful, intentional, and full of that truly matters.

It is also helpful to reflect back on your theme each year. Here is my theme for 2024.
