Wellness in 2025: Intentional, Balanced, and Rooted in Faith
Welcome to 2025. Doesn’t the start of a new year feel like the perfect moment to pause and reimagine what life could look like? Wellness has taken on so many shapes over the years, but this year, the focus feels different. It’s softer, more intentional, and rooted in what truly matters—taking care of ourselves as whole people: body, mind, and spirit.
At Her Sunday Best, wellness isn’t just about how we look or even how we feel—it’s about living a life that reflects God’s goodness in every little detail. So, here’s what we see shaping 2025, and how you can start weaving these ideas into your own life.
1. Wellness with God at the Center
This year, more women are realizing that wellness starts with the soul. Sure, we can focus on eating better or getting stronger, but if we’re not caring for our hearts and staying connected to God, something will always feel off. Faith-centered wellness is about inviting Him into the process—whether that’s starting your day with a prayer, journaling through your favorite Scriptures, or just slowing down long enough to hear His voice.
Try This: Take five minutes before bed to reflect on your day. What moments felt heavy? What moments felt light? Talk to God about them and let Him meet you where you are.
2. Listening to Your Body (Especially Hormones)
Let’s be honest—being a woman can be a lot. And in 2025, there’s a growing focus on understanding and supporting your body, especially when it comes to hormones. Things like cycle syncing (matching your workouts and meals to different phases of your cycle) and eating to balance your hormones are becoming less of a mystery and more of a normal part of self-care. It’s all about working with your body, not against it.
Quick Tip: Add small, hormone-friendly habits to your routine, like swapping coffee for tea during high-stress days or prioritizing rest when your energy dips.
3. A Healthier View of Body Image
We’ve all had those days when we look in the mirror and feel like we’re not enough. But this year, there’s a shift happening—women are learning to appreciate their bodies as God’s handiwork, not just something to “fix.” Movement is becoming less about punishment and more about gratitude for what our bodies can do.
What Helps: Find something that makes you feel alive—maybe it’s yoga, a long walk, or dancing around your room. The goal isn’t perfection; it’s to show up with love and care for yourself.
4. Sabbath Rest Is Trending
If there’s one thing we’re collectively craving, it’s rest. Not just a lazy day on the couch (although those are great), but intentional rest that fills us up. Think slower mornings, stepping away from screens, or simply letting yourself be still. The world calls it “slow living,” but really, it’s Sabbath rest—God’s gift to us to recharge and reconnect with Him.
Try This: Pick one day a week to unplug and do something restful, like reading, journaling, or spending time with loved ones. It doesn’t have to be fancy—just life-giving.
5. Community as Self-Care
The past few years have taught us how much we need each other. In 2025, wellness is shifting away from doing everything alone to leaning into relationships. Whether it’s a Bible study group, a walking buddy, or just showing up for each other in small ways, this year is about creating spaces where we can grow together.
Take a Step: Text a friend and plan something simple—a coffee date, a walk, or just a call to check in. Wellness grows when we do it together.
6. Renewing Your Mindset
A lot of the battles we face happen in our minds, right? This year, more women are embracing mindset work, but through a biblical lens. It’s less about forcing yourself to stay positive and more about reframing your thoughts with God’s truth. Things like letting go of comparison, overcoming self-doubt, and trusting that God’s plan is good—even when it doesn’t make sense.
Affirmation to Hold Onto: “I am made in God’s image, and His plan for me is greater than my fears.”
7. Simplifying Wellness
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by all the wellness advice out there, you’re not alone. In 2025, it’s about getting back to the basics—simple, sustainable habits that actually fit into your life. It’s not about chasing perfection; it’s about finding small ways to feel good and stay grounded.
Her Sunday Best’s Advice: Start small. Drink more water. Go to bed earlier. Take a walk in the sunshine. Simple things that make a big difference over time.
8. Faith-Filled Nourishment
Food is more than just fuel—it’s a way to care for yourself and even connect with God. This year, the focus is shifting toward more intentional eating—taking time to prepare meals, enjoying them without distractions, and seeing food as a blessing rather than something to stress over.
Idea to Try: Pray before meals, not just out of habit, but to really reflect on how your food sustains and energizes you for God’s purpose.
Final Thoughts
Wellness in 2025 isn’t about doing it all or having it all figured out. It’s about taking small, intentional steps toward a life that feels whole. It’s about giving yourself grace, letting go of what doesn’t serve you, and keeping God at the center of it all.
This year, let’s focus on showing up—not perfectly, but consistently. Let’s make space for what matters and trust that God will guide us the rest of the way. <3 We all deserve to look and feel good.
