Introduction to Holistic Goal Setting for 2025
As we step into a new year, it’s the perfect time to set meaningful goals that encompass all aspects of life. Holistic goal setting ensures that you’re not just chasing achievements in one area but creating a well-rounded plan for personal growth, health, and happiness.
In 2025, let’s focus on four key areas to create a balanced approach to success:
Key Areas for Holistic Goals

A Simplified Approach to Goal Setting
To make the process approachable, focus on three levels of goals:
- Long-Term Goals (12 Months):
- What’s your big vision for 2025?
- Example: “Improve my fitness by competing in a CrossFit event.”
- Medium-Term Goals (3-6 Months):
- Break your long-term goals into smaller, actionable steps.
- Example: “Attend CrossFit sessions 4 times a week and focus on endurance training.”
- Short-Term Goals (4-6 Weeks):
- Identify immediate actions to build momentum and form habits.
- Example: “Practice double-unders 10 minutes after each workout.”
Tips for Success
- Be Specific: Vague goals are harder to achieve. Focus on measurable outcomes.
- Stay Flexible: Life happens—adjust your goals without guilt.
- Celebrate Wins: Recognize progress, no matter how small, to stay motivated.
- Seek Support: Share your goals with your coach or a trusted partner for accountability.

Publicly sharing your goals will allow our community to assist in keeping you accountable and working towards fulfilling your goals. I encourage everyone to share their goals in comments.
We will be hosting an evening shortly to share/provide support in helping us work towards achieving our goals (date to be announced shortly).
