Hi my loves!
I know it may be early to start thinking about goals and things we’d like to achieve throughout 2025. However, I’ve decided to start now so that I have some kind of a direction to follow.
I have a really bad habit of self neglect which leaves absolute 0 chance of me achieving anything or doing much positive for myself. I would honestly REALLY like to change this as best as I can.
To make this as easy as possible for myself, I’m only going to set 3 goals.
That is literally it.
Reading more often
Honestly, I love reading. I love the feeling of escaping into a whole new world, envisioning characters coming to life and going on all these amazing adventures.
I used to love reading as a kid because that’s literally how I learnt English but again, it was such a fun escape from everything around me. I miss that feeling.
I’ve been stuck in a reading rut for several years and I really want to change that. I feel like getting back into reading will kinda heal a part of my inner child too?
I’ve also found that reading helps me get better quality sleep which I am in desperate need of. I enjoy switching my mind off and falling into a new fictional world. Helps me get away from my troubles for a while too.
Having routines
After an insane beating from my mental health, I have come to the conclusion that I need routines to keep myself on track. Nothing rigid, just some loose form of regular habits to do daily.
I would love to have a set morning and evening routine I do regularly to help my day run smoother and to have a good night’s sleep.
My morning routine would literally consist of me waking up, making my bed, doing my skincare & hair, and having something to eat before I start working. I think this would allow my body to wake up a little bit before jumping into work which is something I really need to better manage my stress levels. I HATE being in a constant fight or flight mode. I. Am. Tired.
My evening routine would also be kinda chill, and just consist of stuff that will help me wind down from the day. I’d do my evening skincare, shower, and read for a little while before going to sleep.
I have tried doing things without a routine. However, having no routine makes me unwell. I don’t need that level of negativity in my life!
Becoming more active with content creating.
I feel that ever since I started, I’ve not really taken it too seriously, let alone being consistent with what I’m posting. I hate that for me.
I’ve always enjoyed being creative. I love writing and yapping about makeup or other random things. I started my blog back around 2017 (maybe even a little before then) and I regret not staying consistent with this.
My goal is to eventually be consistent across all my social media platforms for Daily with Dils. That includes: YouTube, TikTok, Instagram & this site. I’m currently trying to post everyday on TikTok & once a week on YouTube. I really want to start taking social media more seriously and I hope to continue to grow my presence!

So these are the main goals I have for now. I think starting off with less is going to be very helpful for me. I’ve always had an issue with trying to do too much all at once and I really don’t want to do that again. Sometimes baby steps really is the way to go!
Here’s to (hopefully) a better year!
