We’re nearly at the end of 2024, and we’re all out here promising ourselves that 2025 will be the year we nail a healthy lifestyle. A year of good habits, glowing skin, and feeling like the main character in a Jane Austen novel (but, you know, with better snacks and WiFi).
But let’s be honest, keeping up the motivation for a healthy lifestyle is harder than trying to eat soup with a fork. Life gets busy, we get knackered, and suddenly it’s Netflix and takeaway every night. Sound familiar?
Don’t worry. I’ve got you. Here are 25 tips for women to smash your 2025 goals and finally build the lifestyle habits that make you feel like the strong, healthy queen you truly are. Let’s do this!
1. Set a Goal That Excites You
Not just “lose weight” or “get fit.” Pick something juicy, like smashing a 5K, learning to lift heavy, or nailing a new calisthenics move (I’m hoping 2025 is the year I finally do a pull-up!).

2. Write Down Your Why
Get clear on why you want this. Better health? More energy? Feeling confident? Stick it on your fridge as a daily reminder.
3. Start Small, Win Big
Rome wasn’t built in a day, and your new healthy lifestyle habits won’t be either. Start with one or two easy habits to start—like drinking more water or walking 10 minutes a day.
Starting small is key, but staying consistent matters most. Here are 5 ways to build habits that stick long-term.

6. Drink Your Water, Babe

7. Find Movement You Love
Hate the gym? Don’t go! Dance, hike, paddleboard, or find a quirky women’s health and fitness class like aerial yoga. If it makes you smile, it’s a win.
If workouts feel like a chore, it’s time to switch it up! Discover fun and joyful movement ideas that make exercise something to look forward to.
8. Sort Out Your Sleep
Your body can’t thrive without rest. (A very important one for me after struggling with postpartum insomnia earlier this year). Aim for 7-9 hours a night. No doom-scrolling in bed, alright?
9. Switch to a Holistic Diet
Add more whole foods, fruits, and veg to your plate. No need to go full rabbit, but balance is key for healthy holistic living.

10. Make Self-Care Non-Negotiable
Self-care activities aren’t just bubble baths (though they’re fab). Prioritise quiet time, skincare, or even an afternoon nap if you need it.

11. Stay Social and Supportive
Surround yourself with women who inspire you to grow. Strong, healthy women build each other up!
12. Track Your Wins
Use a journal or an app to jot down your victories, big and small. Progress photos and non-scale victories (like better sleep or energy) are pure motivation gold.
13. Ditch All-Or-Nothing Thinking
Missed a workout? Ate pizza? So what? It’s called balance, darling. Move on and keep smashing it. Check out my post on ditching All-or-Nothing Thinking here!
14. Try Something New Every Month
Keep the excitement alive! Whether it’s a fitness class, cooking a new recipe, or a crafty wellness inspiration project, change it up.
15. Invest in Your Health
Treat yourself to comfy trainers, a quality blender, or even a session with a women’s health care specialist. Your health is worth it.
16. Snack Smart
Keep these healthy life tips and tricks handy. Prep fruit, nuts, or protein bars so you’re not raiding the biscuit tin when hunger strikes.
17. Focus on Physical Wellness
Strengthen your body with a mix of cardio, strength training, and flexibility work. Think wellness fitness meets fun!
