We’ve seen plenty of trends come and go over the years, but we’re declaring 2025 the year of the glow up! We’re drinking our water, reducing our stress levels, and taking steps toward optimized self-care as we welcome the new year. Join us to learn more about how to achieve the ultimate glow up in 2025!
What exactly is a glow up?
A glow up is a transformational process that prioritizes mental, physical, and emotional well-being for a better quality of life. Here are a few key factors in the art of self-care:
Lifestyle factors
It’s time to let go of any unhealthy habits that might be holding you back. Smoking, drinking, and mindless scrolling on social media are out. Analyze your daily routine for activities that no longer serve you, and start thinking about ways to replace them.
Health and fitness
Movement is medicine, so you’ll want to make exercise a regular part of your day. Whether you take a leisurely walk to get your steps in or hit the gym to improve your strength, an exercise routine will ultimately benefit your overall physical and mental health and minimize signs of aging. Eating a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables will fuel your body and mind.
Emotional and mental health
Your 2025 glow up won’t be complete until you ensure your head is in the right place. Meditation and journaling can help you manage your stress and anxiety levels. But if you’re not making progress independently, a therapist you feel comfortable talking to can be a game-changer.
How to make 2025 your glow up year
Ready to transform into the ultimate version of yourself? Here are our top tips for your 2025 glow up:
Define your glow up goals
Envision the coming year and imagine you’re living your dream. What does that look like? Maybe you make time for your favorite hobbies, implement a thorough but manageable skincare routine, and get at least eight hours of sleep each night. Consider writing down the top goals you want to achieve and tape them to your bathroom mirror.
Evaluate your habits
Next, examine what your typical day looks like in the present. How do you care for your skin, nourish your relationships, and feed your soul? What realistic changes can you make to move closer to your goals? Which bad habits do you want to ditch? Now, think about the steps needed to make these dreams a reality.
Invest in your health and wellness
Investing in your health and well-being doesn’t necessarily require money. It could include prioritizing movement by taking a morning walk or eating a nutritious breakfast each day. Of course, you can also do this by signing up for a gym membership, scheduling a monthly massage, or creating a regular waxing routine.
Find ways to get active
An exercise regimen can have wide-reaching effects on your physical and mental health. It can lower your blood pressure, improve your energy levels, and make you happier. No matter how you choose to move, be sure to make regular activity a part of your daily life.
Try new things!
An active, thoughtful glow up can help you get out of a rut and embrace life in 2025, but it might require stepping out of your comfort zone. Maybe you experiment with bold fashion choices or pare down your closet to a chic capsule wardrobe.
You could also try a dance class, cooking workshop, or teach yourself to knit. There are endless possibilities out there, so go find what sparks your interest and brings you joy!
How to avoid hindering your 2025 glow up
It’s easy to take on too much and burn out, but remember that your 2025 glow up is all about evolving into the best version of yourself. Here are a few mistakes to avoid as you enter this year of metamorphosis:
Don’t chase extreme trends
If you live a sedentary lifestyle, you shouldn’t expect to run your first marathon a month from now. Set small goals and resist the urge to push yourself too hard out of the gate.
Latching onto extreme changes in your exercise routine, dietary changes, or a complete glow-up overhaul for 2025 will only lead to burnout. Give yourself time to build momentum and develop a foundation of healthy habits.
Don’t compare
Comparison is the thief of joy, and what works for your neighbor may not work for you. Don’t compare yourself or your life to anyone else’s in the pursuit of happiness. And always remember that what you see on social media is rarely a complete reflection of someone else’s existence.
Don’t ignore your needs
Some of us tend to get wrapped up in the excitement of a glow-up, but you’ll want to listen to your body along the way and be prepared to slow down if you take on too much at once. Prioritize your basic needs, like adequate rest, nourishing food, and a supportive community of the people you love.
