Meditation in 2025: How to Start and Stay Consistent
February 19, 2025 | Isabella Oracle
For the past few years, and even more in 2025, meditation has been everywhere! People talk about meditating in the morning, at noon, doing this, doing that, how it has changed their lives. “I feel better in my body, I’m no longer afraid, I’m not stressed anymore…” But you don’t know how to incorporate it into your life. Or maybe you tried once and didn’t understand it. Yet, this ancient practice is well known for its benefits for both body and mind. And it’s not that complicated! Here are some tips for meditating in 2025. Let’s get started and quiet your racing thoughts!
Current State of Mental Health
Mental health is at the center of discussions. For a long time, cancer was seen as the ultimate disease, but stress is now one of the leading aggravating factors. According to the Mental Health Foundation, among 4,619 respondents, “74% of people have felt so stressed they have been overwhelmed or unable to cope” in 2017. Among them, “51% of adults who felt stressed reported feeling depressed, and 61% reported feeling anxious.”
These numbers are alarming and show that, even before the global pandemic, mental health was already fragile. The study highlights multiple causes of stress: debts, responding to messages, image and appearance, etc.

Is there a solution? What if meditation was a gateway to well-being in 2025?
Why Meditate in 2025?
Meditation is a spiritual and mental practice in which one focuses attention on a single point of concentration. Contrary to popular belief, its goal is not to suppress thoughts and emotions but to accept their presence.
As the future becomes increasingly uncertain and the world grows more chaotic, meditation can be a valuable tool. It helps refocus on yourself and on what is useful and pleasant rather than dwelling on the external and unpleasant. Meditation enhances mental clarity and improves mental health. So, how can you start meditation in 2025?
Setting Achievable Goals
When we want to do things perfectly, we often end up doing nothing at all. That’s because aiming for perfection can make us feel overwhelmed. To meditate in 2025, start with simple and progressive goals:
Meditate for 5 minutes every day for a week
Then meditate every morning and every evening
Next, try attending a meditation retreat
Finally, teach meditation to others
This example shows a logical progression. First, you start small: just once a day. Then, you increase the frequency. Then, you extend the duration with a retreat. Finally, you share your knowledge.
The idea isn’t to meditate for three hours a day starting in early 2025. That would be overwhelming and counterproductive.
Integrating Meditation into Your Daily Routine in 2025
Now let’s look at how to implement a meditation routine in 2025.
Right Time, Right Place
Meditation is a personal practice. You’ll need to experiment to find what works best for you. Several factors matter:
The time: In bed upon waking up, after breakfast, during your commute, on your lunch break, before a meal, before bed, etc.
The place: In your bed, in front of a mirror, on your couch, in your car, on a train, etc.
The frequency: Every morning, at noon, morning and night, three times a day, twice a week, etc.
As you can see, there are many combinations to explore. The key is to create a calm and focused moment that fits your life. Consistency is key, even if it’s just for a few minutes.
Common Obstacles to Meditation
However, simply having a meditation routine isn’t enough in 2025. External and internal factors can influence your practice. Here are some of the most common obstacles:

Lack of time: Between work, family, and social obligations, finding time can be tough. Or rather, making time is tough. But even a few minutes a day can be beneficial — if you make it a priority.
Intrusive thoughts: It’s completely normal to have racing thoughts during meditation. The goal isn’t to eliminate them but to observe them without attachment.
Distractions: Notifications, noise, and conversations can interfere. Try setting “phone-free” moments to fully focus on meditation.
Lack of motivation: Your motivation will come and go. The solution? Stick to your ritual and remind yourself why you started!
Simple Hacks to Meditate in 2025
Despite these tips, you may still think meditation in 2025 is too complicated. Too many constraints, too much effort! Not at all! There are simple solutions to make meditation accessible. We have plenty of resources on this topic, so click on the links to learn more!
As we’ve seen, achievable goals are the key to building a sustainable habit. You might feel pressured to do everything at once. First, there’s the pressure you put on yourself to be perfect immediately. Then, there’s the pressure from others who seem more advanced in their practice. But meditation isn’t a competition. You don’t have to perform—that would be counterproductive. Don’t compare yourself to others. If you meditate for two minutes, that’s great. If someone else meditates for an hour, that’s great for them.
Every meditation counts and contributes to a healthier environment. There will be ups and downs, “successful” sessions and “failed” sessions. Meditation takes time, and the beginning can be challenging.
What matters most is your intention.
Remember why you want to practice meditation in 2025, and you will succeed.
