Dear Black women – Are you showing up for yourself in 2025?

I was thinking about what went well for me last year. With my January – Spring 2025 to-do list growing, I had to really think about the good things from 2024 that I want to continue for 2025. I asked myself, ‘how did you show up for yourself in 2024?’ As I started thinking, I remembered how much I’ve stuck to going to yoga classes. I’ve always been more of a cardio person but I started the yoga classes when I realised that I don’t do enough stretching. Also after the first class, I realised it was true about how yoga helps with stress. I was so relaxed I struggled to work in the afternoon!

I also laughed when I remembered how often I wobble in the classes when trying to do Tree pose (stand and balance on one leg)! It’s a great reminder that while I’m not an expert and I’m still working on my flexibility.

I think the biggest lesson for me, is that I have continued to show-up to classes, no matter what’s happening. Sometimes I really don’t want to go. A busy work day or overthinking the errands I have to do, often makes it very tempting to miss the class. I’ve continued to go to class, whether I wobble or not 🙂

Showing up for myself in this way, is my reminder at other times that I can make good choices for my life and health, for my short and long-term future.

What does showing up for yourself mean for you?

So, dear Black women, what went well for you in 2024? Will you be taking it into 2025? Have you changed your habits or routines to show up for yourself in 2025? Showing up for yourself could be anything that includes your personal or professional life. Above all, whenever showing up means that you follow through to support your short-term and long-term goals. This is about you claiming the Blessed life you deserve.

So, whatever ‘showing up for yourself’ means for you, I’m hoping you continue to have a blessed and abundant 2025.
