Dear Wannabe Diary,
So, today I woke up full of motivation and energy—feeling like Beyoncé on a world tour. Yesterday’s entry, where I basically told my subconscious to f*** off, really did something. I feel unstoppable. Like, I can do anything. It must be the new year's magic, right? We’ve all got those 1,001 resolutions swirling in our heads—ones we usually forget by February—but hey, this vibe is working for me, and I’ll ride it as long as it lasts.
Now, let’s address the elephant in the diary: yes, this little project started with a lot of whining and venting, but I swear I’m not always like that. Usually, I’m a pretty positive person (except when I’m not, obviously). But sometimes, life boils over, and I need to let it out. Hence, this diary. Still, I’m optimistic—like, obnoxiously so. Even with all my faceplants in business (seriously, it’s a wonder my nose isn’t flatter), I’m that person who sees a potential money-maker and instantly goes full throttle.
Here’s how it usually goes:
I see something, think this could totally work, and by the end of the day, I’ve read a dozen articles, ordered supplies, and locked myself in my “office,” working like a maniac—multitasking like a mom at a PTA bake sale. And then, surprise! By evening, I’m kicking myself for ordering all that stuff because, obviously, what if it’s not my thing?! Classic me. Impulse-driven and absolutely allergic to slowing down and thinking it through.
The worst part?
I give up too soon. Like, the second I don’t see results, I’m on to the next idea with the same intensity, only to crash even harder. So yeah, my business is currently drowning in debt (my future self owes me a car). But hey, I’m still here. I’m still dreaming. And one day, I’ll be writing about how I turned it all around.
Speaking of turning things around, let’s talk about last night’s podcast. Joe Dispenza. Have you heard of him? Because apparently, the universe decided it was time for me to hear his message. He talked about exactly what’s been holding me back—those crappy emotions and negative thoughts that creep in thanks to my subconscious. You know, anxiety, anger, frustration, and that lovely feeling of lack.
Here’s the kicker:
the more we focus on lack, the further away our dreams get. So, Joe says we need to live as if we’re already in our future, happy, calm, and grateful—basically, tricking our brain into thinking we’ve already made it. Easier said than done, right? But I’m committed.
This morning, I made my first-ever vision board. And let me tell you, it’s a masterpiece. It’s going right above my desk so I can stare at it whenever I’m tempted to throw in the towel. Because if 2025 isn’t my year, I’m not sure what is.
Joe also said something that really hit: “If you want to create a new personal reality, you need to change your personality.” Damn. That’s a whole vibe. So here’s the plan:
Resolutions for 2025:
- Be happy. Stop complaining. Learn to enjoy life now.
- Change my mindset—ditch those feelings of lack.
- Build a 6-figure business (because mama’s tired of being broke).
- Level up this blog, create a supportive community, and help others see failure as part of the process.
- Health, health, health: postpartum fitness, healthy eating, skincare routine—basically, glow-up season.
- Family time: love, laughter, and moments that matter.
- Read at least one personal development book a month (because knowledge is power, blah blah).
- Manifest daily. Meditate daily. Stay grateful.
- Save for the dream wedding in 2026 (just waiting on that proposal, babe).
- Financial freedom—bye-bye debt, hello abundance.
- Travel, explore, live.
- Build our dream home (preferably with a giant tub I can hide in).
- Meet people with the same energy and goals.
- Both my partner and I quit our day jobs because our business is thriving!
So yeah, 2025 is all about becoming the best version of myself. And if I start slipping, I’ve got my vision board and this diary to kick my butt back into gear.
Your energy is contagious! I’m sitting here ready to make my own vision board now—Pinterest, here I come!
Megan, do it! And make sure it’s extra sparkly—because nothing screams success like glitter-covered dreams.
Joe Dispenza is a legend. That ‘live in your future self’ advice is everything. Let’s trick our brains into thinking we’re already millionaires!
I’m all in! Manifesting millionaire vibes right now—though my bank account clearly hasn’t gotten the memo yet.
Mama’s tired of being broke.’ Preach! That needs to be on a T-shirt ASAP. I’d buy it!
that’s officially my 747th business idea. Stay tuned—I’ll let you know when the merch drops! 😀
I love your resolutions! Especially the one about creating a community. I’d totally join—I need all the support I can get!
RayRay, welcome to the club! Step one: we manifest. Step two: we celebrate even our smallest wins. Step three: world domination.
Your writing is like a pep talk and a stand-up comedy routine in one. Please never stop!
Thank you! I’ll keep going—as long as life keeps giving me material, which, let’s be honest, it always does. Comedy gold in chaos, right?
Your vision board sounds awesome.
Thank you! It’s basically Pinterest exploded on my wall—glitter, big dreams, and way too many magazine cutouts!
This blog is everything.
Thank you! Hearing that makes all my oversharing 100% worth it.
Joe Dispenza is cool, but your writing is what’s really motivating me.
Wow, thank you! That’s probably the best compliment I’ll ever get—sorry, Joe, I’m taking this one!
