2025 Vision Scape

Completed October 23 2024

So I know that it would be a good idea to do my 2024 evaluation before I decide what I want for the new year, BUTTTTT I'm running off of what I feel like doing (it is October after all) and I don't really want to evaluate the past 12 months, thank you very much. They were a bit of a rollercoaster to put it lightly, so maybe when I get around to it, this post will have to be updated.

Let's get into it!

or Spiritual and Emotional Health

I am living a life that aligns with my values. I'm curious about the things I don't understand about myself or the world around me and I extend tolerance and respect to those who have different views and beliefs to me.

I have a daily affirmation habit in the mornings and gratitude in the evenings. I journal my thoughts and feelings to help me understand them and regulate them. I am self-aware and mindful. I continue to benefit from monthly therapy sessions and am constantly learning about how to improve my mental and emotional health.

or Volunteer and Community Outreach

I am expending my time, effort and money on projects and causes that I care about. I volunteer my time and skills to the people around me on a regular basis. I find joy in helping others and feel a sense of fulfillment as I give back to my community.

I am an advocate for mental health awareness in my community and online.

or Health and Wellness

I love how my body feels. I wake up energized and ready for the day ahead. I am flexible and fit. I spend thirty minutes everyday being active. My neck, shoulders and back feel relaxed.

I get all the nutrition my body needs from my food and supplements. I am hydrated both from my liquid intake and by moisturizing my skin.

I schedule routine doctor visits to monitor my cholesterol and get my teeth cleaned every 6 months. I wear my prescription glasses comfortably.

I practice good sleep hygiene.

or Languages and Music

I am having so much fun learning about other cultures. I am using my fluent language and acquiring vocabulary in my other target languages. I am engaging with native speakers on a regular basis.

I enjoy all kinds of media in my target languages including television, music and books.

I am having so much fun creating and learning new music. I have a safe and accessible way to store all my instruments.

or Writing and Doodling

I fit writing into my schedule everyday, even if it's just a single line. I write for many reasons. I journal for my own reflection. I write stories to entertain my friends. I write poetry to feel connected to others. I write songs for all of those reasons.

I have so much fun creating entries in my scrapbook. I draw cute doodles and cut out pictures I've printed from Pinterest and my camera roll. I add stickers and random scraps I've collected. It's fun to do and to look back on.

or Domestic and Hygiene Habits

I have created systems that make it feel easy to keep my environment organized and clean.

I do laundry every day (except one) to keep it manageable. I change my sheets and towel three times a week. I clean my bathroom weekly and put things away as soon as I'm done with them.

I deep clean my room (including my fan) and one other room in the house once a month.

or Adulting and Independence

I am a competent and confident driver. I manage my expenses with responsibility and with the future in mind.

I organize my schedule efficiently so that I have a satisfying work life balance. I am comfortable meeting new people and open-minded to new experiences and adventures.

or Entertainment and Social Life

My siblings and I do a fun social activity outside of the house every quarter. I am deliberate about incorporating the things and people I love into my regular, everyday life.

I enjoy the process of making things and being creative. It's a soothing and relaxing experience. My hobbies are a major part of my rich life.

or Education and Personal Development

Learning is a part of my daily life. I read self-help and motivational books and other non-fiction books about topics that I'm interested in. I listen to YouTube essays and podcasts, and watch vlogs that interest me. I take my time with the content so that I can absorb the new ideas.

I'm learning more about myself and the world every day. I am growing and evolving into a person that I love even more and want to be around.

or Reflection and Introspection

I keep track of my mood and other factors that could be affected by my menstrual cycle in my daily tracker. I record my thoughts and emotions whenever they feel overwhelming. I ask questions about my intentions and emotions when I react in a way that surprises me.

I forgive those who have hurt me, especially myself.

I do a quarterly vision board and review and a weekly check in about my physical and mental health.

Vision Scape

Completed March 11 2023 (Edited March 18 2023)

My sister does this thing where at the end of a year she does sort of a “vision landscape” for her new year. She writes out descriptions of what each aspect of her life looks like a year from then. I want to try it this year to compare at the end of the year, God willing. 

So I’ve split my life into ten sections:

or Spiritual and Emotional Health

I am the epitome of peace. I believe that God is working everything out for my good and I can look back at the year and see His Hand intervening over and over again. I talk to God everyday and I rely on His guidance for all major life decisions. 

I am mindful of my emotions and cope well even with the negative ones. I take my feelings into consideration, but do not rely on them to make most decisions. I have developed the habit of journaling to manage my emotions and using affirmations to adjust my beliefs to produce desirable and healthy behaviours.

or Volunteer and Community Outreach

I have spent at least 30% of my time and money in giving to others and community outreach. I’ve helped lift others’ burdens and made others’ lives easier. I have brought hope and inspiration to those who needed it. I feel like I’m living a life of purpose and fulfillment.

or Health and Wellness

I’m in tune with my body. I am intentional about taking care of myself. I have routine hygiene and nutrition habits. 

Based on my mood and physical experiences, I can predict my periods’ arrival with an accuracy of 3-4 days. My periods are comfortable experiences and for their duration, I am deliberate about resting and self-care. 

Through nutrition (including supplements) and exercise, I am managing my cholesterol levels. I am active, fit and flexible. I feel good in my body.

or Languages and Music

I am at an intermediate level of fluency in Creole and Spanish. I have both the vocabulary and confidence to have a basic, natural conversation with a native speaker. 

I take time to practice my instruments every week. I spend time learning theory, practicing technique and learning pieces that I’m excited about. I understand that it’s okay to keep my music just to myself, but when I feel like sharing, I perform with calmness and confidence.

or Writing and Doodling

I’ve published one children’s book and written one fictional book for fun. I’ve outlined two more to be written next year, God willing. I’ve developed the habit of writing a new “poem” or other piece every week and have a decent collection to show for it. 

I’ve done an art course and so I understand the basics of lighting and shadows in drawing. I have filled up my first sketch book.

or Domestic and Hygiene Habits

I have an easy-to-follow routine to keep my environment clean and organized. My belongings each have their own place so they are easy to find. My contribution to the household is appropriate to my skills and abilities.

I take care of my body in deliberate and intentional ways. I take pleasure in the way I look and present myself.

or Adulting and Independence

I’ve understood how to do financial statements and can do it without help next year God willing. I have made significant progress towards becoming a confident and safe driver. I prepare meals that meet my body’s needs and make me excited to eat.

or Entertainment and Social Life

I deliberately scheduled fun and relaxing experiences for myself. I made dates and set up meetings with my loved ones.

I regularly take time to do things I enjoy that require little energy from me.

or Education and Personal Development

I read 4 non-fiction books for the year and took notes on how I could apply what I learned to my life. I read widely within my interests and watched instructional videos. I have expanded my understanding of life, society and art and had lots of fun being the guide in my own learning.

or Reflection and Introspection

I spend time every week reflecting on my behaviour and attitudes and how I can improve as a person. I’m increasingly self aware and my mental health has improved as a result of that. 

Because I am able to understand myself, understand my limits and respect my own boundaries, I am kinder to myself and am a better family member and friend to those I love.
