As we step into 2025, many people are looking to make positive changes in their lives, aiming for greater happiness and balance.
However, according to Arouba Kabir, Emotional & Mental Health Professional, Founder of Enso Wellness, the key to a fulfilling year doesn’t lie in grand resolutions but in small, mindful practices that address the challenges many individuals face today.
From burnout to emotional sensitivity and relationship issues, these steps can set you on the path to a healthier and more rewarding year.
In today’s fast-paced world, sleep often takes a back seat to work, socialising, and screen time. Kabir notes that many clients report disrupted sleep patterns and even insomnia, which significantly affect their mental and physical health. “A consistent bedtime routine can work wonders,” she advises.
Limiting screen time, creating a calming pre-sleep environment, and sticking to a regular schedule can improve sleep quality and overall well-being.
“Emotional regulation isn’t just for moments of panic,” Kabir explains. Many people only address their emotions when they experience extreme stress or panic attacks, but cultivating mindfulness and self-awareness can prevent these episodes.
Practices like journaling, mindfulness meditation, and therapy can help individuals navigate their emotions effectively and build resilience.
Despite being constantly connected through technology, loneliness remains pervasive. Kabir emphasises the importance of authenticity in relationships, stating, “Be honest with yourself and others.”
By investing in meaningful, face-to-face connections with friends and family, you can build emotional resilience and find deeper satisfaction in your relationships.
Boundaries have become a buzzword, but many people misunderstand their essence. “Setting boundaries doesn’t mean cutting everyone off,” Kabir explains.
True boundaries begin with yourself—knowing your limits, practising self-discipline, and communicating effectively with others. Learning this skill can improve relationships without leading to isolation or conflict.
The pressure to achieve more in less time has led to widespread burnout. “Reframe what success means to you,” Kabir suggests. Rather than chasing external validation, set realistic, meaningful goals that align with your values. This shift can help you maintain a healthier work-life balance and reduce stress.
The trends Kabir observes—burnout, emotional volatility, and misunderstandings around boundaries—reflect the pressures of modern life. By addressing these challenges with intentional practices, you can make 2025 a year of growth, balance, and authenticity.
