Embracing 2025: Our Intentional Words for the New Year
As we step into 2025, it’s the perfect time to reflect on what we want to achieve and how we want to navigate the year ahead. And to start off, we’d like to share our intentional words.
Here at TeamTubb, we’ve adopted Richard’s tradition of choosing our guiding words for the year—three words that will shape our actions, mindset, and intentions. This simple but powerful practice helps us stay focused on what truly matters, and we’re excited to share our words for 2025 with you.
We hope these words inspire you to reflect on your own guiding principles for the year, and perhaps even choose your own three intentional words to help shape your path in 2025. You can also find out more about choosing your 3 words for the year from the originator of My 3 Words, Chris Brogan!
Quest for Adventure and Connection
Kareena is choosing to embrace challenges and build meaningful relationships in 2025.
- Adventure: Kareena is diving into physical challenges like Hyrox, obstacle courses, and tackling all 13 peaks in Cape Town. Adventure for her is about pushing her limits, exploring new landscapes, and capturing these experiences through her photography. It’s also about embracing a sense of discovery, both inside and outside.
- Inspire: Kareena wants to help others break free from the busyness of life and rediscover play and adventure. She’s focused on inspiring people to reconnect with joy and embrace the things that truly matter.
- Connect: Building deeper connections is at the heart of Kareena’s year. Whether through strengthening existing relationships or creating new bonds, she’s focused on fostering a sense of community and sharing meaningful experiences with others.
If you’re seeking to push your limits, inspire others, and deepen your relationships, Kareena’s words offer a great blueprint for 2025.
Balance of Boundaries and Joy
For Lara, 2025 is all about finding balance and embracing the joy of life.
- Equilibrium: Lara is focused on finding a sustainable rhythm in her life—creating a balance between work and rest, productivity and leisure. So, this word serves as a reminder to avoid burnout and prioritise what truly matters, while making space for both work and joy.
- Curiosity: This year, Lara wants to embrace learning in all its forms. It’s not just about traditional education, but also about exploring new experiences and being open to the unexpected. Growth, for her, is about cultivating patience and embracing the journey of discovery.
- Joyride: Lara’s final word brings us back to the importance of enjoying the ride. Life is about more than just goals and structure; it’s about embracing the adventure, laughing more, and seeking moments that bring joy. This word is a call to infuse more fun and spontaneity into the year.
These words are perfect for anyone seeking a year of balance, learning, and enjoyment. If you’re ready to slow down, embrace curiosity, and enjoy life’s journey, Lara’s words may guide you in 2025.
Vitality, Freedom, and Adventure
Polly’s three words for 2025 are all about embracing vitality, freedom, and the thrill of adventure.
- Vitality: For Polly, vitality represents the habits and experiences that nurture her energy and well-being. This word is about prioritising physical health, mental clarity, and the practices that bring peace and calm to her life.
- Freedom: Freedom is about mindset. Polly wants to create more time and space for herself to experience life on her terms. It’s about breaking free from limitations and having the flexibility to follow her passions.
- Adventure: Adventure is not just about travel for Polly; it’s about living with an open heart and a sense of excitement. It’s about embracing new experiences in all areas of life—from relationships to career—and approaching life with a sense of wonder.
Polly’s words remind us that vitality, freedom, and adventure are essential ingredients for a fulfilling year. If you’re looking to cultivate more energy, flexibility, and excitement in your life, these words might be just what you need.
Journey of Trust and Abundance
Lenka’s intentional words for 2025 are deeply connected to self-trust and embracing the universe’s flow.
- Conviction: This year, Lenka is stepping deeper into trust—trust in herself, her abilities, and in the universe. She’s moving beyond belief and embracing the certainty that everything she desires is already possible and waiting for her.
- Surrender: Letting go of the need to control every detail, Lenka is learning to surrender to the universe’s timing. It’s about trusting her intuition, allowing the flow of life to guide her, and releasing the need to know the how and when.
- Enough: Lenka’s final word focuses on self-worth and abundance. She’s embracing the belief that she is enough, she has enough, and she knows enough. It’s about shedding feelings of inadequacy and stepping into a mindset of abundance.
These words remind us that trusting ourselves and embracing the natural flow of life can lead to an abundant, fulfilling year. If you’re ready to release control and trust that you’re enough, these words may resonate with you.
Year of Transformation: When You Don’t Need Three Intentional Words
Sometimes, one word is enough to set the intention for the year ahead.
For Gudrun, 2025 is all about Transformation.
She’s committed to nothing less than a complete overhaul in every aspect of her life—from health and wealth to relationships, hobbies, home life, and travel.
With massive goals for the year, she’s ready to take bold action and make meaningful changes in her life. Transformation is about growth, evolution, and taking decisive steps towards the future we desire.
If you’re ready to take on a year of change and growth, transformation could be the perfect word for you too.
