    2025 is just around the corner, and if you haven’t already started thinking about how to make this your year, it’s time to hop on the main character energy train. What does it mean to live for the plot? It’s about stepping into your own story, taking control of your life, and being the protagonist in your journey. No longer playing second fiddle or waiting for things to happen—2025 is your year to show up, own your narrative, and live life like it’s meant to be lived: on your terms.

     

    So, if you’ve been feeling like you’ve been just going through the motions or watching others chase their dreams, it’s time to flip the script. Here’s why 2025 is the year to embrace your inner main character, and how you can do it.

    1. main character energy: it’s more than just a trend

    You’ve probably seen the term "main character energy" floating around on TikTok and social media. But what does it actually mean? At its core, it’s about taking ownership of your life and making decisions that are aligned with your goals and values. Think of it as becoming the heroine of your own story—making choices, big and small, that move you forward on your journey.

     

    Main character energy isn’t about being the loudest or most dramatic person in the room. It’s about living authentically and being intentional about how you show up every day. This energy is contagious, and when you start embodying it, others around you will start noticing. You’ll begin attracting people, opportunities, and experiences that match the level of energy you’re putting out.

    2. the year of self-discovery

    2025 is going to be all about self-discovery. If you’ve been caught up in the hustle and bustle of daily life, it’s easy to forget who you really are underneath it all. But when you start prioritizing your well-being, taking time to explore your passions, and getting to know your inner self, that’s when the magic happens.

     

    Living for the plot means taking the time to reflect on what you truly want out of life. Do you want to explore a new career path? Start that side hustle you’ve been thinking about for months? Or maybe you just want to take a break and focus on your mental health for a while. Whatever it is, 2025 is the perfect year to rediscover yourself and get back in touch with what makes you tick.

    3. taking risks and stepping outside your comfort zone

    What’s a plot without a little adventure? To be the main character of your own life, you’ve got to take some risks and get comfortable with discomfort. It’s all about growth, and growth doesn’t happen when you stay in your safe little bubble. Whether it’s a career change, a move to a new city, or trying out a new hobby, stepping outside your comfort zone is where you’ll truly begin to shine.

     

    It can feel scary at first, but remember, the best parts of any story happen when the protagonist faces challenges and overcomes obstacles. By taking risks, you’re not just moving forward—you’re setting yourself up for success in ways you might not even realize yet.

    4. prioritising your mental and physical health

    Main characters don’t just look after their social life or career—they make sure they’re in top shape, mentally and physically. You can’t be the star of your own show if you’re not taking care of yourself first. 2025 is the perfect year to put your wellness at the forefront of your narrative.

     

    That means setting boundaries that protect your peace, saying no to things that drain you, and investing in activities that nurture your mind and body. Whether it’s yoga, therapy, journaling, or simply getting more sleep, prioritizing your health ensures you’ve got the energy to tackle whatever the plot throws your way.

    5. building your support squad

    Every great main character has a solid crew behind them, and you’re no different. Surround yourself with people who inspire you, challenge you, and push you to be the best version of yourself. Your support squad doesn’t need to be huge—it’s about quality over quantity. A few key people who truly have your back can make all the difference.

     

    2025 is the year to nurture those meaningful connections and build a circle that encourages your growth. Whether it’s friends, family, or mentors, having a strong support system allows you to face any plot twist with confidence.

    6. stop waiting for permission

    How often have you caught yourself thinking, "If only someone would give me the green light"? News flash: You don’t need permission to start living the life you want. The main character doesn’t wait for approval—they take charge of their own narrative.

     

    2025 is the year to stop waiting for the perfect moment or for someone else’s validation. If you’ve been holding back on pursuing something because you’re not sure if you’re "ready" or if it’s the "right time," take this as your sign to go for it. The only permission you need is your own.

    7. embracing the power of no

    One of the most powerful tools a main character has in their arsenal? The ability to say no. 2025 is the year to stop overcommitting, saying yes to things that drain your energy, or letting guilt guide your decisions. Saying no isn’t about being selfish; it’s about being selective with how you spend your time and energy.

     

    By saying no to the things that don’t serve you, you free up space for the things that truly matter. You’ve got a whole plot to unfold in 2025, and you want to make sure the people and activities in your life align with that.

    8. trusting the process

    Not every chapter in a main character’s life is going to be a highlight reel. There will be twists, turns, and a few cliffhangers. But the key to being the main character is trusting that everything is unfolding exactly as it should.

     

    There will be moments of doubt, frustration, and confusion—but as long as you trust the journey, you’ll know that every experience, whether good or bad, is part of your growth. So, embrace the plot twists, keep going, and let the story unfold as it’s meant to.

    9. being your own hero

    At the end of the day, the best part about becoming the main character of your own life is that you get to write your own ending. You are the hero of your own story, and how the plot plays out is entirely up to you. 2025 is the year you take control, trust yourself, and know that you have everything you need to create the life you’ve always dreamed of.

    conclusion: your 2025, your plot

    So, what are you waiting for? 2025 is your year to step into your power, make bold moves, and take the reins of your own story. It’s time to be the main character of your life—no more sitting on the sidelines. Embrace the plot, take risks, and trust that everything will unfold exactly as it should. This is the year you become the star of your own show. It’s your plot. Now go live it.
