Do you ever feel like you’re doing all the right things, but life still feels heavy? I was there, too. Between work, parenting, and the everyday rush, it started to feel like we were going through the motions. That’s when my family and I decided to make a shift. We chose one word to guide everything we do in 2025, and that word is fun.

Why we chose “fun” as our 2025 focus. Life moves fast, and it’s easy to fall into routines that leave little room for joy. This year, we wanted to be more intentional. We wanted more fun with the kids, more laughter with friends, more meaningful moments with clients, and, most of all, more connection at home. Choosing “fun” as our focus has helped us see opportunities to bring joy into small, everyday moments.

Small goals lead to big change. To turn this into action, we’ve set small, simple goals. One of mine is to read at least 12 books this year. I’ve only finished two so far, but that’s progress. The goal isn’t to be perfect. It’s to move forward. Every small win helps build momentum.

I’m reading The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins. It challenges you to let go of what holds you back and take small, meaningful steps. I highly recommend it if you’re feeling stuck or want to bring more purpose into your days. I’ve been listening to it on Audible while driving, and it’s been a great way to stay focused on what matters.

Make space for what matters. If something feels off in your life, start small. Choose one word to guide your year. One word that helps you realign with what you want most. Choosing “fun” brought clarity and energy back into our routines, and it might do the same for you.
