A Wish For 2025: Ask Yourself, What Does Health Mean to You?

In 2025, we encourage you to become very clear on what health means to you personally. We always hear that health is the most important thing. We commonly wish people good health on birthday cards and Christmas cards. But depending on where a person currently stands in life, health can have a plethora of different meanings.

As a kid, health means having the freedom to explore the world. Expressing oneself through movement and learning basic skills.

As a young adult, health may mean the ability to master a specific sport or instrument.

Later in life, adults often struggle with tight schedules that seemingly never let up. Health may mean carving out those two hours per week for themselves. A few minutes to engage their bodies and clear their minds.

For some, health means having the energy and resilience to pursue personal and professional goals. It’s about maintaining a balance between work, family, and self-care. This could involve prioritizing sleep, nutrition, and exercise to ensure they can meet the demands of a busy lifestyle without burning out.

Some of us also struggle with losing some of our ease of movement. Stiff joints, hurting backs, weak knees, poorer eyesight… Aging can be a physical and often mental struggle.

For many people, health means getting their head in a good place. Finding solutions to mental problems and managing all the challenges the modern world throws our way.

At a later stage in life, Health may mean being able to keep going on long walks with friends or family. Or keep enjoying the weekend playing doubles with their tennis friends. The meaning may be as simple as being able to play with your grandkids, sitting on the living room floor.

And, obviously, to a person fighting a severe illness, health means getting their life back. They would be content with just being able to do the most mundane things in the world without pain.

We firmly believe that the key to staying in a good place health-wise, physically and/or mentally, is first of all, to be aware of what is important to YOU.

Define what would make you a healthy person in your eyes, and build principles according to that vision. How do you want to apply that image to the fundamentals in 2025: Biomechanics, exercise, nutrition, and sleep?

If you have a little time, feel free to share your vision with us at [email protected]! We are always interested to hear from you.

All our best for 2025. Have the greatest year of your life!
