For Ecency Contest Day 11:

As we approach the new year, I've been reflecting on what I'd do differently in 2025. One thing that stands out to me is being more intentional with my relationships.

In 2024, I found myself getting caught up in the hustle and bustle of life, and I didn't nurture my relationships as much as I would have liked. In 2025, I want to prioritize quality time with loved ones, whether that's through regular check-ins, scheduled video calls, or in-person visits.

By doing so, I hope to strengthen my bonds with others, build more meaningful connections, and create lasting memories. What about you - what's one thing you'd do differently in 2025?

Oh, I didn't make it in time this year, but it's never too late and I'm joining today 🥳

2024 was full of a ton of incredible experiences and I was extremely happy and for that I'm very grateful. I don't know what I would do differently for 2025, because I really like the version of myself that emerged in 2024, a happier and more self-confident version of myself... although thinking about it, I think I'll include a little more exercise in my routine for 2025.

I think this is gonna be a long comment, but I wanna let go some things.

I have made many mistakes in my life, but 2023 and 2024 had me in a very bad position. I think that saying that I tried to end my life twice says it all.

I have trusted the wrong people, the people I thought were my best friends betrayed me and let me down, I was in a very deep and dark hole in my life but I'm very grateful for my family for not letting me down.

They trusted in me and believed that I could do better, so they gave their hands to help me get out from that hole and never left me alone. They were and still are by my side in this process and I can't be grateful enough.

I'm a lot better now, and for the things I would do different this year, is basically to try to give back everything that my family has done for me and I'll be much more careful about the people I trust.

Now I know I'm worthy, that I have people who loves me and I also have lots of love to give, so I'm not gonna let anyone else to use me as they please again, I'll take care of my mental health and I'll give everything for my family.

I wish this new year to be a lot better for all of us. Best wishes for you.

Go beyond! Plus Ultra!

I'm hoping to be a more active blogger on HIVE in 2025, but life is just going by so fast at the moment that I don't have to energy or time.

I will LEARN more in 2025! Learn new things, acquire new skills! And put them to use, hard!!!

2025 is a new cycle 🌀 that, as it begins, opens up a range of opportunities 🌟 for us to be better. We cannot close and open cycles being the same, we must assimilate what we have learned 🧠 to forge new goals 🎯, seek new horizons 🌅 and show what we are made of 💪. In 2025, one of the different things I would do is to exercise my new profession as SEO 💼, and increase my love for others ❤️ and there I am talking about my loved ones, friends 👥 and especially with my beautiful people of Ecency who have always given me support 🤝. When I say Ecency I am talking about Hive as a whole 🐝. In short, 2025 is to show what I learned in 2024 📚 and beyond that, 2025 is to know so much more 🌱. Every step, every day, should be for self-improvement in what we do and spiritually 🧘 because not everything is material, it is also important to cultivate the soul 💫, our link to the creator 🙏.
Happy Holidays! 🎉🎅🎄

El 2025 es un nuevo ciclo que, al comenzar, nos abre un abanico de oportunidades para ser mejores. No podemos cerrar y abrir ciclos siendo los mismos, debemos asimilar de lo aprendido para forjarnos nuevas metas, buscar nuevos horizontes y demostrar de lo que estamos hechos. En el 2025, una de las cosas diferentes que haría es el ejercer mi nueva profesión como SEO, aumentar mi amor por los demás y allí estoy hablando de mis seres queridos, amigos y sobre todo con mi bella gente de Ecency que siempre me ha brindado apoyo. Cuando digo Ecency es hablar de Hive en su totalidad. En resumen, 2025 es para mostrar lo que aprendí en el 2024 y, además de ello, el 2025 es para aprender mucho más. Cada paso, cada día, debe ser para la superación en lo que hacemos y en lo espiritual, porque no todo es lo material, también es importante cultivar el alma, nuestro enlace con el creador.
¡Felices fiestas!

I won't deny the fact that 2024 was awesome even though there were so many challenges I had to face. I did the best I could, learned so many lessons that would have me do a lot better in the coming year.

One thing I look forward to doing better in the coming year is my finances. The inflation was unplanned and so many things didn't go as planned most especially my savings. I struggled to keep the little I did and will definitely improve on that in the coming year.

Do not know any specific things I would like to do different but what I know is that something needs to chance as the current plan is not working in a long term. Hope whatever any of you where going through in 2024 gets fixed in 2025. Keep grinding it is worth it in the end!!

I'd like to go to the beach to pick up the bottles or some other things that can be recycled , maybe this is a little thing , but as long as I persist in the spirit of Yu Gong moving mountains, I think this will protect the ocean and our home ,make it cleaner and better . that is the different thing i really want to do in 2025.

One of the things I have actually been planning to do differently in 2025 is how to manage my finances and have more streams of income.

Am not an extravagant spender but I feel I need to do better.

With the rate of inflation in my country one need to become very wise with their finances

"Today is better than yesterday and tomorrow will be better than today."

This coming 2025 I will be trying new things like learning how to code, how to write blogs and how to make the best out of the hive blockchain.

2025 will be exciting !BBH !LOLZ

In 2025, one thing I would do differently is to prioritize my time better by setting clearer goals and boundaries. I want to focus more on personal growth, whether that's pursuing new skills or dedicating more time to hobbies and relationships. By being more intentional about how I spend my time, I hope to achieve a better work-life balance and enhance my overall well-being.

Wheew Day11:...Alright Lets go

One key fact about life is that we learn everyday, and as we grow older our priorities change and we are geared towards fulfilling more accomplishing more all to living a more purposeful life...

All My life i have been learning amd wishing each new year is better than the previous ones, i have made huge mistakes that have cost me almost mylife this year, i have ran into debts huge financial obligation and everything in mylife looks u settling at the moment.

For me 2025 will be a year not just in words or wishes, or mere say, its a year that i will by Gods grace intentionally work out every of my prospect, i have learned hard lessons in life and both from failures, trusting people, and even myself, by The grace of God it will not be a regular year for me, a lot will change..

First and foremost I will invest more on HIVE in all ramifications then i will invest a lot in myself through books, acquiring digital skills, initiating my Hive projects, further my confectionery skills as a pastery chef ....

All i pray for Gods protection, provision blessings and favors in all.i do

I have some ideas, but I am not sure yet. I am focusing on my present, learning from my mistakes every day, and trying to do everything with love to have a good future.

I will do my best to be more active here on Ecency. Also, I will try to add more sport to my life :)

Wow! That's a big question, but interesting 🤔

Human being is always trying to evolute and looking for more and better things. Also thinking about what could be different.

In my case I think it could be being less stressed. I'm used to overthink most of the things that happen in my life.

Sometimes planning, sometimes analyzing, sometimes... just thinking.

In 2025 I'll try to be different. I really hope so.

I'll try too to never hesitate about anything 😁🎄

What is the one thing you would do differently in 2025?

I want to do a better job at budgeting money in 2025, no more financial surprises, but goal setting and budgeting, knowing everything we enjoy is accounted for and afforded.

Good question, unlike 2024... this coming year, 2025, I would like to do more things that I like, spend time on things that build my life and work to continue training in my job.

Undoubtedly this year I have had more sadness than joy, I do not feel very comfortable with my current situation and the person I love is far away from me. Even so, I think I have celebrated the small victories and I have improved a little. Something I would like in my 2025 is to be able to find the strength to say no to my current job and to be able to focus more on myself.

At the moment I see it as somewhat difficult, because it is the only livelihood for my family but I feel that every day more is demanded of me living in worse conditions. So something I would do differently is to find a new job and quit my current one.

The one thing I can think of is to look for a partner I can take care of and who can take care of me in return.

In 2025, I hope to be more consistent in my meditation and practice mindfulness throughout the day. The past year, in some occasions I have held myself back from having difficult but necessary conversations. On the hindsight, certain things need to be communicated directly and on the face. I regret not having communicated honestly to my reporting manager on how toxic he was and how much he is impacting the mental health of all team members. In 2025, I am hoping be more direct and constructive in my communication and serve my team better.

There are many things which I'd like to do differently.
Of course they touches and my real life and Hive. Among them try to be more active on hive, reach my goals.
Organize new trip with family without some mistakes which I got in this year.
Change my study process.
This is just a main points. Honestly I have a lot of them.

What I want to do differently in 2025 is get out of my comfort zone more often and not worry about if things won't go as planned but just go with the flow a bit more. Maybe lower my expectations during these moments so that I will be able to deal with it easier.. Quite a bit change on some occassions but hey, we're working on it, lol.

This year I have read and learned a lot, so much that many times I felt literally exhausted and thought I could not take it anymore, but I kept my patience and continued learning.

Now in 2025, I want to start executing everything that I have learned till now, which is many times more difficult than learning, especially when it comes to the financial market. :)
