As we start 2025, it’s the perfect time to reflect, reset, and refocus. Asking yourself thought-provoking questions can provide clarity and set the stage for a fulfilling year.

Here are seven key questions to consider, along with insights and actionable steps to make this your best year yet:

1. What brought you joy and positive energy in 2024?

Reflect on the people, experiences, and commitments that uplifted you. For me, my polka dot sisters from Polka Dot Powerhouse were a source of constant inspiration. These incredible women fill my soul with positivity and authenticity, reminding me of the power of community. Identify your sources of joy and consider how you can deepen those connections or recreate similar experiences.

2. What caused negativity or drained your energy?

While it’s not fun to dwell on the negatives, acknowledging them is crucial. For example, I’ve realized that worrying—about everything from my family’s well-being to work—can consume too much of my mental space. Recognize the people or habits that weighed you down and decide how you’ll address or let go of them. Forgiveness and setting boundaries can be transformative.

3. What did you learn about yourself?

Self-awareness is empowering. Over the past year, I learned I’m not a fan of spreadsheets or tedious follow-up tasks. Recognizing this helped me decide to delegate these tasks, freeing up my time for what truly energizes me. What discoveries did you make about your preferences, strengths, or growth areas? Use these insights to align your goals with your strengths.

4. What will you stop doing in 2025?

Sometimes, growth means letting go. For me, this means worrying less about things outside my control and stepping back from platforms that don’t resonate with my business, like Instagram. What habits, commitments, or thought patterns will you leave behind to make space for what matters most?

5. What will you start doing this year?

This year, I’m prioritizing consistency with video content on platforms like YouTube. Video is a powerful way to connect and share value, and it’s time to lean in. What’s something new you’ll embrace—whether it’s a skill, habit, or opportunity? Start small and stay consistent.

6. What will you continue doing?

Consistency is key to sustainable success. I’ll continue setting boundaries around my workweek, focusing on my health, nurturing relationships, and having fun—because fun fuels productivity. Reflect on what’s already working well in your life and double down on those practices.

7. What’s one step you can take today toward your 2025 goals?

Action beats intention. For me, it’s tackling the “to-do” that’s been hanging over my head—cleaning up my database. What’s a small but meaningful step you can take today to gain momentum? Whether it’s organizing your workspace, scheduling a meeting, or journaling your goals, start now.

Final Thoughts

Reflection is a powerful tool for personal and professional growth. As you answer these questions, be honest and intentional. If you’re looking for support, whether in business, marketing, or personal development, I’d love to connect and help you navigate your journey. Here’s to making 2025 a year of clarity, joy, and success!

“I’m really excited about what I’m learning. You can add me to your list of people who wish they had found you 10 years ago. When the student is ready the teacher appears.”

“When I joined the Live Big Mastermind with Katrina Sawa I knew that I would have the support I needed to put the systems in place to be successful! In the time that I have been in LBMM I have created a steady stream of 1-on-1 clients, speaking opportunities, written 1 book myself and been a co-author in 3 others AND created an online course. I relied on Katrina’s clear instructions each step of the way to create a foundation for success. I’ve been able to hire 2 VA’s to delegate the things I don’t want to do to be able to do all things I love to do! I am on my way to a 6+ figure business and this would not have been possible without LBMM.”
