My Vision Board Glow-Up: 2025 is the Year of Actually Doing Things

,

Alright, friends, let’s talk about my 2024 vision board. It was… how do I put this? A hot, sparkly mess. It had everything—dream vacations, abs I’ve never met, stacks of cash, and inspirational quotes that made me roll my eyes by March. It was less a “vision board” and more a chaotic wishlist that screamed, “Good luck, Butter!” Spoiler: I didn’t win the lottery or magically transform into a zen goddess.

But 2025? Oh, this is the year of real transformation. Not wishful thinking, not more glitter (okay, maybe a little glitter), but clear, actionable goals. This time, I divided my board into four fab corners: Healthier Me, Happier Me, Wealthier Me, and Wiser Me. A vision board that actually works? Groundbreaking, I know.


Step 1: Healthier Me (Because I’m Tired of My Pants Judging Me)

Listen, I’m not trying to become one of those “my body is a temple” people, but maybe a well-maintained park? A cute little community garden, perhaps? My health goals for 2025 are simple and not totally impossible:

  • Walk 21 days a month. Fresh air, podcasts, and maybe even some neighborly gossip.
  • One yoga session weekly. (Stretchy Butter > cranky Butter.)
  • One dance workout weekly. I’m talking bad Zumba moves in my living room.
  • One meditation day weekly. Probably me just sitting in silence thinking about snacks, but it’s a start.

And the pièce de résistance: No dessert year. Yes, you read that right. No desserts. NONE. Because, honestly, I’ve been treating chocolate like it’s a life necessity. (It’s not. Allegedly.)

Goal: Lose 500 grams a month. That’s like shedding one stick of butter every 30 days. By the end of the year? Six kilograms gone and no butter puns left to make.


Step 2: Happier Me (Hobby Hopping Like It’s My Job)

Turns out, happiness doesn’t just happen. You’ve got to put in the effort. (Who knew?) So, I’ve decided to dedicate each month to a new hobby or activity, because why be mediocre at one thing when I can be terrible at twelve?

  • January: Start my YouTube channel. (Yes, me. Talking. On camera. Terrifying and thrilling.)
  • February: Quality time with loved ones. (Because my love language is snacks and attention.)
  • March: Creative photography. (Get ready for some “artsy” shots of my breakfast.)
  • April: Painting. (Whether it’s walls or canvases, TBD.)
  • May: Scented candle making. (Because if my life isn’t perfect, at least it can smell like it.)
  • June: Add music to my life. (Learning an instrument or just curating the world’s best playlists? Stay tuned.)
  • July: Gardening. (Growing plants… or at least trying not to murder them.)
  • August: Learning a new recipe every week. (Butter in the kitchen, channeling MasterChef energy.)
  • September: Poetry writing. (Prepare for lots of dramatic rhymes and metaphors about coffee.)
  • October: Shopping. (But make it mindful—think fun and functional, not just another pair of shoes I don’t need.)
  • November: Travel! (Even if it’s just a day trip, it’s time to get out and see something new.)
  • December: Self-care and spa time. A whole month of face masks, candles, and pretending I’m royalty.

By the end of 2025, I’ll either be a well-rounded human or an over-scheduled mess. Either way, it’ll be fun.


Step 3: Wealthier Me (Because My Wallet Deserves to Feel Pretty, Too)

Fun fact: Most of my investments are tied up in real estate, which is about as easy to spend as Monopoly money. So this year, I’m focusing on growing a 6-lakh INR stock portfolio.

  • I’m researching high-growth stocks. (YouTube tutorials, don’t fail me now.)
  • Starting to work on retirement goals. Because, let’s be real, future me wants to sit on a beach sipping fancy drinks and not worry about rent.

Key rule: No impulse spending. Just because Instagram ads know my weaknesses (shiny things, useless gadgets) doesn’t mean I have to buy.


Step 4: Wiser Me (Basically, I Want to Become That Friend Who Always Knows Stuff)

Confession: I have an embarrassing number of unread books on my shelves. They stare at me like judgmental little librarians. So, for 2025, I’m committing to:

  • One new book a month. But not just reading—I’ll be summarizing the key points and actually applying them in real life. Imagine me casually dropping wisdom bombs like “This reminds me of a fascinating concept from…” Who is she?!

By the end of the year, I won’t just be smarter. I’ll be insufferably wise.


What’s NOT on My 2025 Agenda?

  • Impulse Spending. If I didn’t plan it, I’m not buying it. (Sorry, random online ads. It’s not you; it’s me.)
  • Binge Eating. My fridge isn’t a therapist, and emotional eating only ends in regret… and crumbs.

The Finished Vision Board: A Butter Masterpiece

Picture this: My vision board is part practical, part pretty, and all me. It’s got:

  • Photos that spark joy (like trails for walking, stacks of books, and cute yoga poses I’ll never master).
  • Affirmations that hit home, like “You don’t need dessert to be sweet” and “Future you says thanks for investing today.”
  • A layout so neat it could star in an HGTV special.

Final Thoughts from Butter

2025 isn’t about dreaming—it’s about doing. My vision board isn’t a “cross-your-fingers” kind of thing. It’s my game plan, my pep talk, and my accountability buddy all rolled into one.

By December 2025, I’ll look back at this board and think, “Damn, Butter. You really pulled it off.” And when that happens, we’re celebrating big. Maybe even with dessert.

So, tell me, friends: What’s going on your 2025 vision board? Let’s make this our year! 🥂
