Happy New Year folks!
Ford James recently asked members in our Content Creators community how they got on with their goals for 2024, but even if you’re not a content creator, you’ll know all about the tradition of New Year’s resolutions.
That’s a bit of a cliché, though, so instead of asking about resolutions, we’d like to hear about your hopes for 2025. What are those things, big or small, that you’re looking forward to in the coming year?

Would world peace be out of the question?
End of the war in Ukraine
Last night I prayed for the end of war, hunger, and all suffering. May we all have our needs and wants met, in a way that doesn't harm anyone else.
On a more personal (and maybe realistic level, since these are things I have more direct control over): I hope to rest more and have better sleep. I hope to continue on doing new, fun things that add so much depth and joy to my life. I hope to have better health, so that I can continue exercising consistently and training for my "dream hike" (I want to climb Mt Olympus in the next few years). I hope I can come across income opportunities that fit me and give me & my household more stability and less stress. I hope that next year, I will be celebrating New Year's Eve surrounded by plenty of new friends and not tearing my hair out in front of a misbehaving OBS.
I'll check back in twelve months and tell you how it all went! :D
Hiking Mount Olympus would be amazing! I wish you the best of luck with the training and other opportunities.
I find sharing these thoughts helps to keep me accountable and focusing on the next small step keeps it manageable. Please do share your progress throughout the year so we can cheer you on! 🙌
Thank you kindly, Boomer! So far I've been doing my little fitness training videos every day (which I was already doing last year, but this year my hope is to watch them consistently, at least 5 times a week). I'm still identifying all the areas in which I am clearly very far away from A Big Mountain Hike, ahah.
I'm glad if sharing my thoughts help! Maybe I could do a proper post... something like a monthly mid-month check-in... I say mid-monthly because I know so many people start to struggle with their New Year wishes by January 15 xD
In January 2024 I was recovering from surgery, starting ADHD meds, and dealing with my house nearly flooding...so I'm just hoping for a quieter start to the year! 😂
Much like dianthus I'd also like to be more purposeful with my health and wellbeing, including figuring out better sleep habits.
Oh gosh!! This sounds like my 2023 lol (I spent Dec 31 '22 in the ER and had to get surgery later that year, among other shenanigans). Congrats on getting onto ADHD meds, I really want to try them too! I think it would help but I am terrified, absolutely terrified of psychiatrists. I can't imagine going and working with one, even though I already HAVE an ADHD diagnosis from a few years ago.
It's been roughly a week from your post, so, how's your sleep now? Have you had the opportunity to try new things, maybe make some impactful changes?
I can't imagine that was much fun! 😟 I hope everything is ok with you now.
Dealing with the Psychiatrist was pretty much a repeat of the process of getting a diagnosis. The only difference is they ask slightly more medical questions (allergies, conflicting medication, height, weight, blood pressure etc) then discuss types of ADHD meds. I appreciate that may not make it any easier but I bought I'd share my experience!
As for how my year has started...let's just say the weather is not my friend and I'm staying in a hotel for (hopefully only) the next week 🌊🌊🌊 At least my ADHD meds are sorted and I'm not expecting any form of surgery! 🤞😅🤞
Thank you for sharing your experience! I have other medical things stacked for this year but I'll keep it in mind. For now I have built a life where it's less of an issue, so that's nice.
Oh no, does the wave emoji mean there are there floods where you live?! That sounds horrible! Here the weather has been so nice-- actually a little too nice! It shouldn't be this warm in January!
May we both have a quieter year overall!
My 2024 was nightmare. From 2025 I want just pity 😅😅
Gosh ain't that just the mood!! Pity for us all! Less interesting times!
No more layoffs in the games industry (futile I know but one can hope...)
On a more personal note, just want some peace and quiet. The last 2 years have been a constant we manage to fix one thing and another 2 decides to go wrong, so I really need life to give me a break from this so I can feel a little bit like getting somewhere....
