Reviewing My 101 Goals In 1001 Days

The end of the year is approaching fast, and with that, there will be many yearly reviews.

2024 was by far, one of the hardest years of my life. There has been so much shit that has been happening. Most of it is kept within the family as we work through a few things that won't be made public. For this, I have had to dig deep into my own healing.

I started to see a psychologist once again. Some BIG triggers have come up for me and I couldn't work through them on my own so I am getting help with those.

Instead of doing a 2024 review, I wanted to review my 101 Goals in 1001 Days list that I made. The end date is May 4, 2026, but as I begin to plan for 2025, this list will help remind me of what I want to accomplish in the next year and a half.

If you want to read the original blog post, you can do so here. I will share the list and update it so that you can see what I have accomplished so far.

I will be sharing my goals for 2025 once I can get my head wrapped around how and what I want to accomplish. I am working on a few things behind the scenes that will stay behind the scenes until they are done but I am excited to plan out 2025.

How do you plan out the coming year?

A REVIEW OF MY 101 GOALS IN 1001 DAYS LIST
