21 decisiones que cambiarán tu vida en 2025

Okay! It’s time to change things up a bit. The end of the year is right around the corner. It’s time to forget the crap you’ve had in 2024 and make some challenges for yourself for 2025.

If you don’t want to be extreme and go climb a mountain or walk to another state, here are some things you could do instead; they are small but valuable challenges that could turn your 2025 around right from the start and hazte la vida más fácil.

¿Está preparado? ¡Allá vamos!

1. Aprende a aceptar las críticas. Don’t take it personally. After all, if you gracefully accept what someone thinks you’re doing is wrong, then you’ll be able to become a better version of yourself.

2. Mantente fuerte y aléjate de las personas tóxicas. Don’t allow anyone to bully you into doing something you don’t want to. Get the toxicity out of your life!

3. Cuando ames a alguien, díselo. Don’t wait for special occasions to tell someone you love them. Life is short so make the best of it. Don’t wait too long because anything can happen and you’ll regret you haven’t released your feelings out into the open sooner.

4. It’s never too late to make your plans come true. It’s okay to have plans but don’t be too hard on yourself if you don’t make your goals come true just the way you want. Thinking about it will only make you feel worse when you should be focusing on how to solve the problem and move on.

5. Don’t obsess about where you have to be in a few months or a year from now. If you keep on thinking about it, it will create enormous pressure and you won’t be able to put up with it.

6. Aléjate de las personas que sólo te chupan la energía. That’s the people who take and take but never give anything in return.

7. Ejercicio. Don’t do things that make you miserable, do something that actually makes you feel better and happier. It can be yoga, it can be meditation. It doesn’t have to be anything too hard to handle.

8. Encuentra un hobby. Encuentra algo que siempre has querido hacer pero para lo que nunca has tenido tiempo. Invierte en ti mismo y aprende algo que te resulte interesante o útil.

9. Atrévete con cosas con las que nunca habías soñado. If there is a job you think you’re not qualified for, try for it anyway. Maybe they will like you, maybe you are qualified but you aren’t aware of it.

10. Deja de pasar tanto tiempo en las redes sociales. Especially if you feel like crap doing so. If there are some things you don’t like, just don’t do them. The world is not going to stop if you don’t check your profiles for a while.

11. Asume tus errores. Don’t try to find someone else to blame. Don’t try to make excuses for something that is your fault. Stand behind everything you do and clean up the mess you’re responsible for.

12. No eres más que un ser humano. And to make mistakes is a humane thing to do. Don’t beat yourself up.

13. Haz un plan. Haz realidad tus sueños y planifica paso a paso cómo conseguirlo.

14. Apreciarse a sí mismo. Tu cuerpo es sagrado. Mantenlo a salvo y apréciate a ti mismo. Every morning when you get up, look yourself in the mirror and be happy about yourself. Don’t make your flaws define you, make them the most beautiful things about you.

15. Cuéntale tu secreto a alguien. Don’t keep it bottled up because it will eat you alive. Find a friend to confide in, they will give you advice and they will be your shoulder to cry on.

16. Leer un libro. Pero lee un libro de bolsillo de verdad. Huele las páginas, acurrúcate en el sofá, ponte cómodo y calentito y lee.

17. Defiéndete. If you don’t agree with someone, let them know and prove your point. But learn to do it without arguing.

18. Don’t stare at your phone. When you’re with friends, put your phone away. You’re not meeting for coffee so you can both stare at your phones. You’re meeting so you can catch up.

19. Learn to say you’re sorry. If you’ve done someone wrong, apologize. Be sincere about how you feel and say you’re sorry. You’ll make the other person happy but you’ll make yourself happy, too. There is nothing more beautiful than forgiveness.

20. Elige siempre la amabilidad. We’re all in this together, help other people feel accepted.

21. Da las gracias a menudo a quienes se lo merecen. Las personas prosperan cuando se las aprecia, recuérdalo siempre.
