Why I’m Skipping New Year’s Resolutions in 2025!
Tired of the pressure and the inevitable February flop? This year, I’m swapping resolutions for something simpler—and much more sustainable.
“A New Year, A New Me.”
It’s the mantra we hear everywhere as we step into a fresh new year. Everyone seems busy setting resolutions, crafting long to-do lists, and making promises about how this year will be different. But with the arrival of 2025, I’m challenging that mindset—please, feel free to join me.
Instead of joining the resolution bandwagon, I’m choosing to focus on something much simpler: being.
Let’s be honest: resolutions bring a lot of pressure. They make us feel like we need to become someone else, achieve something new, or fix parts of ourselves that we think are broken. And let’s face it—New Year’s resolutions rarely last. By February, the majority of them are history!
So why do we keep doing this to ourselves?
The Problem with Resolutions
Resolutions often stem from a sense of lack, as if we’re not enough just as we are. While the idea of self-improvement sounds good on the surface, the truth is, it can feel exhausting. The cycle of setting lofty goals, falling short, and feeling defeated isn’t doing anyone any favors.
What if, instead of trying to overhaul our lives at the stroke of midnight, we simply took a moment to pause? What if we reimagined this time of year as an opportunity to reconnect with ourselves and embrace what already makes us, well, us?
Intentions Over Resolutions
This year, I’m swapping resolutions for intentions. Unlike resolutions, intentions aren’t about achieving a specific outcome or “fixing” anything. They’re about creating a sense of presence and awareness in our daily lives.
Here are a few intentions I’m carrying into 2025:
🌿 Breathe deeply. I’ll take a moment each day to slow down and reconnect with my breath. It’s such a simple practice, but it makes all the difference.
🌟 Practice gratitude. I’ll reflect on the small joys that make life beautiful, grounding myself in the present instead of chasing the future.
🌸 Let go. I’ll release habits, thoughts, or expectations that no longer serve me, creating space for growth in ways I might not even expect.
Making the New Year About Connection
The New Year doesn’t have to be about transformation. Instead, it can be an invitation to connect more deeply with yourself, your needs, and your well-being. True wellness comes from within—it’s not about chasing a finish line but finding rhythm in the way you live.
So this year, let’s ditch the pressure of resolutions and step into 2025 with intention, balance, and curiosity. Let’s focus less on becoming and more on simply being.
Take it one day, one breath, one moment at a time.
Cheers to a mindful, intentional 2025!

Growing up I was always taking care of the horses. Then when it came time to work I would go back and forth from horses to coffee in Seattle to food in California, bringing my horse and dog with me. After going to school specifically for publishing I decided to combine agriculture with food service and have been working to get the name of the great food artisans out to the foodies who adore them. From serving Michelin starred chefs to judging coffee competitions and helping restaurants open for the best possible set up for success that is possible, I’m all about food from the ground up. Always happy to help so let me know if you have a suggestion or would like more information on a topic that I can cover. Thanks for reading!
