I can’t believe this is my first post of 2025! 🎉 Happy New Year, everyone. May this year bring us all joy, success, and countless blessings. 🙏
I have so much hope for my 2025, to be more consistent and to push myself toward growth. One of my big goals is to start content creation on other social media platforms. I’ve been holding back due to cold feet, but I really want to start soon. My prayer is to stay motivated, even if my posts only get 13–20 likes at the start.
On Faith and Connection with God
One of my top priorities this year is strengthening my connection with Allah (SWT). I already pray, but I want to make sure I don’t miss any Solat and continue to deepen my faith.
Time Management Struggles
In 2024, time management was a huge challenge for me. With so much on my plate, work, personal development, parenting, homeschooling my toddler, managing my home and marriage, volunteering with NGOs, maintaining my blog, and taking care of myself. It sometimes felt overwhelming. My goal this year is to achieve a healthy work-life balance. I’ve started using Google Calendar, which helps, but I’m determined to get it right without burning out.
Reading Goals
I want to read more in year 2025, specifically, at least one fiction book per month. I already love learning new things through reading, but I’m looking forward to exploring fiction as well.
Skincare Journey
December 2023, I invested a lot in skincare consultations to treat melasma from pregnancy. I spent a small fortune (six figures) but didn’t see much improvement in 2024. Honestly, I’ve decided to simplify my skincare routine this year. I’ve realized that sometimes, clear skin is more about genetics than effort, and I’m choosing to focus on the basics for now.
Reflections on 2024
Despite its challenges, 2024 was a year to be grateful for. I completed my Master’s degree, got inducted into the NIPR, exceeded my targets and bonuses at work, and became more financially stable (even though inflation didn’t help much). Alhamdulillah!
On a sad note, 2024 also took my mother-in-law. She was such a wonderful person, and I pray she’s in a better place. 💔
Decluttering Wins
One major thing I recommend: declutter your space. Last year, I decluttered my kitchen with the help of my husband, and it’s made a world of difference. My kitchen looks amazing now, and I feel so much lighter without all the unnecessary items.
Hopes for year 2025
This year, I want to:
Write more ✍️
Read more 📚
Take courses and learn new skills 💻
Love myself more ❤️
Invest in friendships 🤝
Go out more 🌍
Make more money, Live fully and intentionally .🌟
A Tip for Goal Setting
Break your goals into quarters, it makes everything feel more achievable!
May we all witness the end of this year beautifully and in good health with our loved ones. Ameen. 💕
