CHANGE YOUR LIFE IN 2025 ✨ how to set goals and actually follow through

[@HeartBreathings]

November might not have been a huge win for me, but I'm heading into December with Fresh-start energy, ready to set a solid foundation for 2025. Who's with me??!!

[@ArtemHahauz-nm7bk]

I really hope to start a new project too, but it seems a little scary: given that I also need to juggle French. Hope, though, you'll be on track in December and in 2025. Thanks.

[@melissajill6174]

Had a good November--finished my first draft with the aid of the Rough Draft Challenge (I'd written 23k words from Sept 1-Oct 31; finished the draft at 102k words). December is editing time. Possibly January, too (before the point of sending out to my first readers who aren't me). Very stoked for 2025.

[@larisabanta464]

Me! I’m ready!

[@MilesPonmile]

I’m with ya! 👍🏾

[@ashemeadows3409]

I am ready to set that solid foundation for a successful 2025. I'm spending the entire month just discovering what I really want for the year and the years following in every aspect of my life.

[@authorfey]

unrelated but pink looks beautiful on you!!! you're GLOWING 🩷

[@HeartBreathings]

Thank you!

[@WriterWIP]

@@authorfey Agreed!

[@t.a.creech4999]

I literally just woke up after my graveyard shift and surprise! Sarra video! My teenager cackled when I actually squealed with excitement. LOL.

[@HeartBreathings]

Haha, love this!

I’m going to make sure 2025 is awesome. 23 and 24 were crazy due to external circumstances. I am proud of how I handled those years. However I think I can do more this year to do more to make 2025 my best year yet

[@loridee21]

I have so many goals I want to achieve in 2025! Let's Go For It!!!

[@teresajones5973]

Your domino visual is a great way to think about a career.

[@zrienkersh1475]

I swear I need to listen to this twice a week to remind myself to keep my to do list realistic… the struggle is real

[@celestejohnson1972]

My problem is definitely the follow-through. I care for my mum, and that takes a lot of time. I'm now going to sit down and map out my week so I can see how much time I have to work on my goals. This is the video I needed. Thank you, Sarra!!! 😁

[@aliciabellbooks]

Something about this year feels different, last year was a transitional period for me. I feel like I'm coming out on the other side to achieve what I've been dreaming of! I'm so excited for 2025

[@candicefelice8380]

What I’m working on first is breaking down the barriers I have that stop me from dreaming big. I feel like “I don’t have any dreams/goals/ambitions” but I’m starting to think that I do but I’m just not letting myself saying out loud because I’m afraid to.

[@HeartBreathings]

You're definitely not alone in this! But you also don't have to dream really big to get started. Just start with "What do I want to be different about the way things are now?" and start putting some habits in place to move in a better direction. You can still move forward one step at a time!

[@candicefelice8380]

@HeartBreathings That is what I am learning and working to embrace for sure. You are really a big inspiration and you and the whole Hearties community has been amazingly warm and welcoming. I truly feel like I have found my people. Cheers to 2025!

[@katendress6142]

This is really relatable.

[@susanmariegraham3686]

Sarra is so encouraging ❤ Life happened, and I didn't get too far in the Rough Draft Challenge. But what I love about it is, I can do it any month. So I'll just pick up where I left off and carry on.

[@OnlineTherapistGroup]

Sarra! You look so freaking beautiful and healthy!!!!

[@HeartBreathings]

Hey Amber! Thank you so much!

[@LeahWriter]

How happy am I to be sitting at my computer at this moment! 🥰

[@themagicengineer5314]

Do you have a place where you go over your strengths? I'm curious now because I think I hear a lot of Strategic and Developer in this video alongside the futuristic

[@eeveequeen25]

Your resilience is an inspiration ❤ I suspect for many writers, having to be flexible with goals is the reality! The domino metaphor is so true - I can see it already in my writing life. Thanks for giving me a motivation boost to start 2025 🎉

[@ashleyemma4954]

Wow, I have to say hot pink looks amazing on you!!!🎉

[@HeartBreathings]

Thank you!

[@jeanshelbybooks]

I’ve been INSPIRED to spend more time building my KZbin channel, to share my journey of building my author career with the help of manifestation. I love building my community with the premise of spreading my joy. ❤📚

[@tenayamkd3229]

I can’t explain how much it means to me to see that dragonfly I painted in the background of your videos. ❤️☺️ Thanks for this video! You’re always such an inspiration. I can’t wait to do another round of HB90 this month! Sending you lots of love and good vibes for 2025. ❤️

[@annieway35]

This is so helpful! Especially tracking my hours per day to see where I'm spending my time to reimagine what I could be doing with those hours. This really resonated with me.

[@KimtheElder]

I am re-watching and have to say the domino analogy (amplifying each other) is golden. It's not like I didn't know that on some level, but it crystallized it. You are a gift Sarra I woke up this morning and though I am not in the position to go to a gym, I did some movement for a few minutes. I started the practice.

[@HeartBreathings]

Love to hear this. The domino effect / chain reaction totally changed how I look at my projects!

[@elliestephenson4146]

Super excited for 2025 and happy to see you back and healthy, Sarra!

[@maryearly3259]

i wish i could grab that bundle. I'm waiting to hear back from two interviews I did so fingers crossed. I'm glad your feeling better. So lets get this going!

[@LM-yn7sv]

Best of luck!! ❤

[@DeborahPettit]

Yay! Another Rough Draft Challenge in April is perfect. I would be ready to do another one by then.

[@NotClare72]

Just printed my certificate from the RDC! Tysm for making November a month to remember :) progress is progress - got 20k words in on my fantasy novel 👑

[@HeartBreathings]

Congrats!!!

[@Pepper-xm1ve]

This year, I learned so many things, I did soooo many mistakes, I was so depressed & cried alot almost everyday... So many people hurt me, lots of things just happened and I will finish bachelor soon and still I didn't do anything useful before finishing studying... BUT this year I will change, I will work hard, study hard, focus only on myself and reach my dreams 💞 I promised myself 💟

[@HeartBreathings]

I'm so sorry you had a rough year. I believe that you will have an amazing year next year!

[@crystalfontanez2551]

You are strong, worthwhile, kindhearted, smart, and successful also, blessed.

[@singingsanja167]

I failed spectacularly at the Rough Draft Challenge, but like for you, life just happens, and you have to get over it and carry on. I am not beating myself up about it - and you hab a big influece on this attitude change of mine. Thanks for being you and for supporting us all on so many levels. Lots of love from Germany! 😘💕💕💕

[@Cathy-gz3yd]

Another great video. Thank you!

[@HeartBreathings]

Thanks for watching ❤️

[@pythonsequel2924]

You look so beautiful in this video. I mean you’re always pretty but you look really great here ❤

[@HeartBreathings]

This is so sweet thank you!

[@rossiescars4442]

Thank you for this video! It was helpful and it gave me a clear path on what I had to do. After watching I grabbed my planner immediately and planned as you suggested. Thank you!!

[@farewell_autumn]

RDC has helped me tons! I need to print my certificate that will serve as a reminder that I can get projects done even when things are tough for me. This video is super useful, Sarra! Thank you for everything ❤~

[@stephanief.6224]

I really enjoy when you do this type of content. Thank you!

November was a hot mess for me so hoping to get restarted for the new year!

[@lindaweedmark6025]

Thank you for this. I really needed it. Getting in the mood to tackle 2025, what I want at the end of the year, and plans. 😊

Great hosting❗I did it this year and I can't wait to do it 2025 💖🎉💖 13:47

Today, I finished writing schedule for December so I write as much as in November. As soon as I have time, I will definitely look into HB90 as well.

I'm so excited to take YPF again as alumni. I have a better idea this time of how HB90 works and what to expect with YPF and how it synergizes with HB90. I can't wait to get planning. I'm already working on my vision board for 3 years out.

It's such a struggle! I totally understand. But I'm the end, choosing where to spend your time intentionally rather than trying to do it all is life changing!

It's Kylie lip duo in "posie k" I have so many colors of the Kylie duos and they are all good!

I wrote a book and plan to start querying agents. I'm writing a 2nd book. If I don’t get an agent I'll self publish. 2025 Goal-Get Published

[@HeartBreathings]

Yess, you've got this!

[@WriterWIP]

@HeartBreathings Thank you! I queried it some last year. Only got rejections back. No full requests. It does a number on the confidence. But I'm going for it anyway....

[@icona3406]

@@WriterWIPi get you. Had the same thing happen to me this year and now in the process to self publish in February. It’s nerve-wracking but also so exciting to get to control the whole thing. You can do it! 🙌🏻

I cannot for the life of me find your resource library on your websites 😩

[@HeartBreathings]

It's for newsletter subscribers! If you subscribe at HeartBreathings.com it will automatically send you an email with the resource library link when you confirm your email!

[@KHWriting]

Sarra, do you have the dates for P&T first round for next year? I want to retake it, but I want to include that in my planning for Q1. Thanks for another video. Glad you're on the mend.

[@HeartBreathings]

They aren't fully set in stone just yet, because my normal HB90 March week is also a conference in New Orleans, so I'm going back and forth on a few different dates. I'll try to have it sorted by tomorrow afternoon! Send me an email reminder or tag me in Discord if you get a chance so I don't forget!

[@KHWriting]

@HeartBreathings Thanks! I don't mean to rush you. I just wanted to know if you had them set. There's no rush as I know you have a lot of things you're catching up on. I don't want to pile on.

[@writerintransience]

Is there an option to do the courses after the live event? I have limited availability for live courses but I'm definitely interested.

[@HeartBreathings]

Registration will close but everyone who signs up gets lifetime access, so if you purchase you can just watch them whenever you have time;! Everything is recorded

[@writerintransience]

@HeartBreathings Fantastic! Thank you for letting me know, that makes a big difference.

Hahaha, I mean, I still do it, just not all day every day :P

[@tianasmith9684]

I had signed up for your Tough draft challenge to get your workbook. Only the 2023 showed on my link. How can I get the new one. I kind of wanted to do a challenge for myself in January

[@HeartBreathings]

The workbook is in the HB Resource Library. If you signed up for my email list, you should have gotten a link to the full resource library. At the top, there's a Preptober 2024 folder that has the workbook inside. If you don't see the link, send me an email at [e-mail] and I'll make sure you get it.

[@connielafortune1299]

I'm petrified to try something new, and Kickstarter is one of them. My marketing skills are horrible because I don't toot my own horn and I'm an introvert to my very core.

[@HeartBreathings]

I'm nervous about Kickstarter, too, but I'm going to give it a try in 2025 because it really does align with my overall goals. Maybe Kickstarter doesn't match with your goals? Or maybe it really does and it's just about slowly becoming more comfortable and finding a way to do it that doesn't require as much marketing?

[@megwriter3power-gg6ml]

I won doing my 10k for my short story but I’m not able to retrieve my certificate , thanks 🇺🇸🇬🇧 Also , I couldn’t use edit to put a cover on my dashboard.

[@HeartBreathings]

Why couldn't you get the certificate? Just curious. It's in a free Google drive folder so you just click on it and download from there!

Gosh idk why but the image of steps to get to a goal lined up like dominos is really making sense to me tonight! I feel like I need to make an image of it now to solidify the thought in my head 😅 Also you're example of wanting to be a full time author but starting with nothing published is exactly where I'm at 🙈🤎
