Never Give Up!

A few years ago, I had a brilliant New Year’s resolution: I was going to become a morning person. You know, the kind who wakes up before sunrise, drinks a green smoothie and writes three pages of a journal.January was great. I was waking up at 6 a.m. I was having healthy breakfasts. And I wrote a journal for a while. But in a few weeks, the journaling habit stopped. I started to crave more sugary breakfasts. And waking up at 6 a.m. became too much.By mid-February, I had failed all my New Year’s resolutions. By the end of the year, I was drowning in unmet goals and feeling defeated.

New Year's Resolutions

Creating a vision is like building a compass. It’s not about setting goals but aligning them with the different areas of your life. This is where the wheel of life comes in — a tool I use every year to build a balanced and fulfilling roadmap.But today, we’re not only talking about the wheel of life. We will try to bring that concept to the next level. Today, I’ll walk you through how to create a powerful vision for 2025.<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">We will start by assessing our life with the wheel of life.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Then, we will find a goal for every key area of our lives.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">And finally, we will put everything into our vision board.</li></ul>

The Bold Vision

🎯 This is Part 3/9 of the Series Your Best Year YetYou’re reading part three of Your Best Year Yet: A Step-by-Step Guide — a special year-end series designed to help you reflect on the past year, set transformative goals, and create a plan to thrive in the year ahead.In the upcoming issue, we will explore the fascinating concept of Misogi — a transformative path that will define your year. <a href="https://cosmopolitanmindset.substack.com/publish/post/https://cosmopolitanmindset.substack.com/subscribe">Subscribe</a> not to miss it!

[The Challenge] - Your Best Year Yet

Most people don’t think about their goals on New Year’s Eve. They want to party. And that’s completely fine. But for the people who make resolutions, you can’t pretend your job’s finished once you write your goals on a sticky note.I know it’s a romantic idea — keeping it analogical and finding that note next year. But there are two problems with that:<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">First, you won’t find that note in 90% of the cases. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">And second, you will probably never check what you wrote on it and only remember it in December next year. </li></ul>

Why a Vision Board Matters? (1)

Studies show that people who visualize their goals are significantly more likely to achieve them. In 2011, a study by the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology found that participants who visualized their desired outcomes felt more motivated and performed better.But it’s not just about motivation.Vision boards work because they engage your brain’s reticular activating system (RAS) — the part of your brain that filters information and highlights what’s important.

Why a Vision Board Matters? (2)

Have you ever noticed you start seeing your dream car everywhere after deciding you want it? That’s your RAS at work. And a vision board keeps your goals front and center. It helps your brain spot opportunities to make them happen.Think of it as your GPS for 2025. It keeps you on track. It reminds you of your purposes. And it makes the journey more exciting.Let’s dive into it.

The Challenge

The wheel of life is a visual representation of the key areas of your life: Physical, Mental, Spiritual, Love, Family, Friends, Purpose, Finance, and Growth.Imagine each area as a spoke in a wheel. The wheel can’t roll if one is too short. A balanced wheel means a smoother ride. So, if you neglect one area, the journey feels bumpy.

1 — Fill Your Wheel of Life (1)

As you can see above, I’ve written about this concept before. But here’s a quick refresher on the nine categories of the wheel.<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Physical : Your health and fitness.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Mental : Your emotional well-being.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Spiritual : Your sense of connection, whether through faith, mindfulness, or something else.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Love : Your romantic relationships.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Family : Your connections with relatives.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Friends : The bonds that give you a sense of belonging.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Purpose : Your career or mission in life.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Finance : Your financial health and stability.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Growth : Your personal development. </li></ul>The first step is to assess where you are right now.

1 — Fill Your Wheel of Life (2)

Where are you thriving? Where do you feel stuck? This snapshot will help you see where to focus your energy in 2025.<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Assess Each Area : Rate each area on a scale of 1 to 10. </li></ul><ol><li class="ql-align-justify">Identify the Gaps : Look for areas where you feel stuck or neglected. This year, my biggest gaps were in health and mental health, two things I rarely prioritized.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Visualize Balance : Imagine what a balanced wheel would look like for you. It doesn’t mean every area scores a perfect 10, but each one should feel cared for. </li></ol>

How to Fill the Wheel of Life

Once you’ve assessed your wheel of life, it’s time to create specific goals for each area. These don’t have to be monumental. But they should align with what you want. Here are a few ideas for inspiration (you can find more in the related article) :

2 — Craft New Goals for Each Area

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Physical :</li></ul><ol><li class="ql-indent-1 ql-align-justify">Train for a 10K run.</li><li class="ql-indent-1 ql-align-justify">Try a new fitness class (yoga, kickboxing, etc.).</li><li class="ql-indent-1 ql-align-justify">Build a consistent sleep routine.</li></ol><ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Mental :</li></ul><ol><li class="ql-indent-1 ql-align-justify">Read 12 books (one per month).</li><li class="ql-indent-1 ql-align-justify">Start journaling for 10 minutes a day.</li><li class="ql-indent-1 ql-align-justify">Practice gratitude by listing three things daily.</li></ol><ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Spiritual :</li></ul><ol><li class="ql-indent-1 ql-align-justify">Meditate for 10 minutes every morning.</li><li class="ql-indent-1 ql-align-justify">Explore a new spiritual or philosophical practice.</li><li class="ql-align-justify ql-indent-1">Spend time in nature weekly.</li></ol>

Once you’ve outlined your goals, it’s time to bring them to life visually. Here’s how to create a vision board (infographic in the article) :<ol><li class="ql-align-justify">Reflect on Your Wheel of Life : Consider your goals for each area. What visuals or quotes represent those goals?</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Gather Your Supplies : Collect magazines, printouts, markers, or use a digital tool.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Create Sections : Divide your board into areas that mirror the wheel of life.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Add Personal Touches : Add photos, words, or symbols that resonate deeply with you. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">Place It Where You’ll See It : Keep it visible to stay inspired. </li></ol>

3 — Build Your Vision Board

The final step is bringing your vision to life. <ol><li class="ql-align-justify">Break It Down : Big goals felt overwhelming, so I broke them into bite-sized steps. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">Build Momentum with Micro Wins : Start with small steps that lead to bigger achievements.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Review Your Vision Regularly : Take 10 minutes every Sunday to revisit your goals.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Schedule Time for Your Goals : Block time on your calendar for specific actions. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">Adjust as Needed : Life happens, and goals shift. The key is to stay flexible while keeping your vision in mind. </li></ol>By taking consistent action, your vision won’t only be a dream. It will become your reality.

"No mistake is a big mistake in a development, it means you did nothing"

testing app

Reflection is the foundation for meaningful growth. By analyzing where you've been, you'll have a better sense of where you want to go.Journal Prompt:"What am I most proud of from last year? What am I ready to leave behind, and what am I excited to carry forward?"

Part 1: Reflect on the Past Year

Grab a notebook or your journal. Write down at least 10 things you accomplished last year, no matter how small.Examples:"I finished my semester despite challenges.""I prioritized my mental health.""I learned how to cook a new dish."Think about what brought you joy. Highlight moments that made you feel alive or proud.

Step 1: Celebrate Wins

What were the hardest moments? List at least 3 challenges you faced.For each challenge, write:<ul><li>What was the outcome?</li><li>What did you learn?</li><li>How can you use that lesson moving forward?</li></ul>

Step 2: Acknowledge Challenges

Make two lists:<ol><li>Things to Leave Behind (toxic habits, relationships, mindsets).</li><li>Things to Keep or Nurture (positive habits, healthy routines, meaningful relationships).</li></ol>Perform a symbolic ritual like shredding or burning the "leave behind" list to signify letting go.

Step 3: Let Go of What No Longer Serves You

Instead of vague resolutions, focus on purposeful and actionable intentions. Challenge:Write a letter to your future self dated December 31st, 2025, describing the amazing things you accomplished.

Part 2: Set Intentions for the New Year

Ask yourself:<ul><li>What do I truly desire in this year?</li><li>Why does it matter to me?</li></ul>

Step 1: Define Your Why

Break down your life into categories:<ul><li>Health (e.g., "I will drink 2 liters of water daily for clearer skin and better energy.")</li><li>Relationships (e.g., "I will prioritize open and honest communication.")</li><li>Career (e.g., "I will learn one new skill that supports my long-term goals.")</li><li>Self-Care (e.g., "I will dedicate 15 minutes daily to meditation or journaling.")</li></ul>Write a single clear intention for each category, keeping them realistic and measurable.

Step 2: Focus on Key Areas

<ul><li>Take 15 minutes to close your eyes and imagine yourself at your happiest and most fulfilled. What does a day in your life look like?</li><li>Use this vision to create a vision board with magazine clippings, digital images, or drawings.</li></ul>

Step 3: Visualize Your Ideal Year

Creating physical and mental space is essential for a fresh start.Self-Care Bonus:Dedicate a day to cleaning your space, lighting a calming candle, and playing your favorite playlist while organizing.

Part 3: Declutter and Organize

Start with one area (your desk, wardrobe, or digital files).Ask yourself:<ul><li>Does this bring me joy?</li><li>Do I actually use this?</li></ul>Donate, recycle, or toss items that no longer serve you.

Step 1: Declutter Your Physical Space

Write down all lingering tasks or worries on a "Brain Dump" list.Categorize these into:<ul><li>Tasks to complete this month.</li><li>Things to schedule later.</li><li>Things to let go of.</li></ul>

Step 2: Organize Your Mind

<ul><li>Use a planner to outline key dates, goals, and habits for the month.</li><li>Incorporate tools like a habit tracker or weekly spends for maximum organization.</li></ul>

Step 3: Set Up Your Planning System

Small, consistent actions lead to meaningful results over time.

Part 4: Build New Habits and Momentum

Pick one habit that will have a ripple effect on other areas of your life.Examples:<ul><li>Waking up 30 minutes earlier.</li><li>Journaling daily.</li><li>Drinking more water.</li></ul>

Step 1: Choose One Keystone Habit

Break your habit into small, actionable steps.Example: If your goal is to exercise 3x a week:<ul><li>Week 1: Stretch for 5 minutes daily.</li><li>Week 2: Add a 10-minute walk.</li></ul>Week 3: Try a 15-minute workout video.

Step 2: Set Micro Goals

Use a tracker to record your consistency and celebrate milestones (e.g., a streak of 7 days).

Step 3: Track Your Progress

Share your goals with a friend or use social media to document your journey.Reflect weekly: What worked? What needs tweaking? (All the above images are AI generated and may or may not be related to the topic.)

How to Reset for the New Year

Any incentive is inherently a trade-off; the trick is to balance. For every incentive has its dark side. Whatever the incentive, whatever the situation, dishonest people will try to gain an advantage by whatever means necessary.

Two Sides Of The Story

En esta obra, Levitt y Dubner demuestran, a través de ejemplos y una sarcástica perspicacia, que la economía representa el estudio de los incentivos. ¿Qué resulta más peligroso: una pistola o una piscina? ¿Qué tienen en común un maestro de escuela y un luchador de sumo? ¿Por qué continúan los traficantes de drogas viviendo con sus madres? ¿En qué se parecen el Ku Kux Klan a los agentes inmobiliarios? Quizás éstas no sean las típicas preguntas que se formula un experto en economía, pero Steven D. Levitt y Stephen J. Dubner no son unos economistas muy típicos. Se trata de especialistas que estudian la esencia y los enigmas de la vida cotidiana y cuyas conclusiones, con frecuencia, ponen patas arriba la sabiduría convencional. A través de ejemplos prácticos y de una sarcástica perspicacia, Levitt y Dubner demuestran que la economía, en el fondo, representa el estudio de los incentivos: el modo en que las personas obtienen lo que desean, o necesitan, especialmente cuando otras personas desean o necesitan lo mismo.

Clear is known for his ability to distill complex topics into simple behaviors that can be easily applied to daily life and work.

Atomic Habits

The speaker emphasizes that societal expectations often compel people to value external opinions over personal goals, leading to unnecessary stress and anxiety. By discerning what truly matters, individuals can reclaim their time, enhance their confidence, and lead more fulfilling lives

Introduction

Many individuals waste significant energy on trivial matters that do not have lasting importance

Energy Drain

People are mostly preoccupied with their own lives; hence, it is unnecessary to seek their approval

Societal Realization

Not caring does not mean being apathetic; rather, it involves focusing on essential matters and avoiding irresponsible behaviour.

The Concept of Not Caring

Identify personal priorities as a foundation for effectively managing attention.

Actionable Steps

Learning to say "no" to engagements or requests that do not align with one's interests or goals is crucial.

Power of Saying No

Decluttering the mind is likened to cleaning out a closet to focus on what truly matters.

Mental Cleanse Analogy

Reducing distractions leads to increased confidence and clarity in decision-making and life choices.

Impact on Confidence

Viewers are encouraged to be selective about where they allocate their time and energy to achieve a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

My goals are simple: To be your reminder as simple and straightforward as possible.

My videos don’t promise groundbreaking revelations, they       offer straightforward truths to help you realign. Just simple guidance and clarity for those moments when you need it most. Sometimes, all it takes is a reminder to find your way back.

*Disclosure*
I just wanted to share a little behind-the-scenes about how I create my videos. I put a lot of effort into producing high-quality content, and sometimes I get a little help from AI to make things smoother.

For example, most of the visuals you see are hand-drawn by me, but when I’m tired or need a boost, AI helps fill in the gaps. I also get help from AI whenever I need addtional details or key points into my script, especially when I’m crunched for time.

AI also helps me for voiceovers, since being an introvert made me express myself better through my writing, but I’ve made sure to pick the most human-sounding option so it doesn’t distract you from the value I aim to deliver. Which is also my main focus.

At the end of the day, the heart of every video from writing, ideas, editing, and overall creativity, is 100% me. AI is just a tool I use to bring you the best content I can.

Thanks for supporting my work!

“Master Yourself, Master Life: 18 Timeless Lessons from Stoicism”

From the team that brought you The Obstacle Is the Way and Ego Is the Enemy, a beautiful daily devotional of Stoic meditations—an instant Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestseller. Why have history's greatest minds—from George Washington to Frederick the Great to Ralph Waldo Emerson, along with today's top performers from Super Bowl-winning football coaches to CEOs and celebrities—embraced the wisdom of the ancient Stoics? Because they realize that the most valuable wisdom is timeless and that philosophy is for living a better life, not a classroom exercise. The Daily Stoic offers 366 days of Stoic insights and exercises, featuring all-new translations from the Emperor Marcus Aurelius, the playwright Seneca, or slave-turned-philosopher Epictetus, as well as lesser-known luminaries like Zeno, Cleanthes, and Musonius Rufus. Every day of the year you'll find one of their pithy, powerful quotations, as well as historical anecdotes, provocative commentary, and a helpful glossary of Greek terms. By following these teachings over the course of a year (and, indeed, for years to come) you'll find the serenity, self-knowledge, and resilience you need to live well.
