“The universe is not outside of you. Look inside yourself; everything that you want, you already are.” ~Rumi

My ability to hold my word/intention for the year has deepened my understanding of my growth and myself. Has it been perfect? Absolutely not. So many times I stray and forget my word, which prompts me to go rummaging through my old notes and resurface it. But merely knowing I have it somewhere and digging it up often helps to reground me and realign with the energy of the word.

I’m always pleasantly surprised by how the word really fits whatever it is I need most for the year . In some ways, any word might work in any moment where you’re feeling unsure, but how much nicer it is when the word feels connected to a deeper intention that you reflected on and determined would be valuable for you to explore all year.

Over the years, I’ve seen the transformational benefit of an annual intention word in my life and of many other souls. I’ve gained focus during turbulent times this year, grace while balancing work and life, and perspective when I doubted myself. Whatever things come your way in the next year, a single guiding word roots your work and gives meaning when things feel adrift.

2025 Word and Intention of the Year: POSITIVE

My word for 2024 was GROWTH, and it did not disappoint. My intention was to grow in all areas of my life in 2024. So, whenever I felt like I was aimless or stuck this year, I reminded myself of my word intention.

My word for 2025 is POSITIVE. I know this blog is about healing positively, so how is this a new word or intention for 2025? For me though, it is, simply because there are still areas in my life where I need to infuse more positivity. I’m sure you have areas in your life you need the same.

I need to be more positive in my body image. I have struggled with body image issues all my life. I’ve also constantly been working on them and healing from them. But in 2025 I aim to solidify my positive body image in such a way that nothing(and no one) can trigger me to feel less than.

I need to infuse more positive energy in my business, which I feel needs a push. The intention of Growth worked very well for me in 2024 to scale my work and grow. I wrote so consistently and took some courses to enhance my skills as a writer and a therapist. But this new positive energy will help me to finish writing my book, publishing it, and also to add so much more for the readers in terms of positive healing resources(New Free Resources page coming soon). So many beautiful ideas brewing in my head, need positive energy to come to fruition.

As we head into 2025, I encourage you to carve out some reflection time and discover what word (or words!) captures your hopes for how you aim to be or who you aim to be in 2025. The simple act of writing it down and revisiting it often can set off ripples that widen further than you can possibly know.

How to Choose & Use Your Word/Intention for 2025?

1. Reflect on the past year – what went well, what do you want more or less of?
2. Visualize the best possible future for yourself – what values or qualities matter most?
3. Review your intentions from previous years – what themes emerge?
4. Brainstorm some words that capture your healing intentions – there are many areas you could focus on, but what feels like it would be most useful to you now, at this moment in time?
5. Do the words you have chosen inspire/resonate? Do you come across a word that just tugs at your heart?
6. Write the word clearly on a sticky note, phone wallpaper, etc. Even better, create a piece of art around the word.
7. Revisit your word during challenges in 2025 as a guiding reminder
8. At year’s end, reflect on how the word/intention shaped your journey

The 2025 BE POSITIVE planner(Rumi inspired)

And, as promised my lovelies, here is your 2025 be positive planner, which I designed myself for me and for you ❤ You can print it on A5 size papers and spiral bind(which I am going to do) OR you can use it on your ipad/tablets as a digital planner(which my daughter is going to do).

I believe that if you want to get something done, you need to write it down. My word for 2025 is POSITIVE so my planner is also Positive themed, but for added healing energy, with Rumi’s wisdom to guide you every month. The truth is we all could use positive vibrations in the new year. So, this planner will work beautifully for you too. ❤

I created this planner to solidify our mental, physical and spiritual resolve to be more positive. Also to ground us every-time we feel we have lost our way during the year. Just using a planner week by week will keep me grounded for sure.

Inside the Planner you will find….

I love to focus on my time in weekly and monthly overviews.
This planner has:
~a monthly spread for each month with a Positive Focus for each month
~4 weekly spreads for each week of every month.
~Each week has a Positive Affirmation for you to focus on. 

I will start sitting with my weekly spreads every Sunday, to plan my week ahead. With appointments, Affirmations of the week, habits I need to prioritize etc. I love working on myself 🙂

I hope you enjoy this FREE planner as much as I have enjoyed creating it for you, and may it bring the positive and healing energy you truly need for this 2025 ❤
