Ideas for Lent: 2025 Edition
If you’re looking for some inspiration on what to give up for Lent, we’re here to help. Lent is a great time to make a commitment, and there’s loads of options that you can explore – the key is to keep it realistic. Whether you want to make wellness changes or try to make a positive impact in your day-to-day life, these are our suggestions.
Random Acts of Kindness
Being able to commit random acts of kindness will not only bring you some uplift knowing that you’ve done it, but will also bring happiness to the person that your act is for. This doesn’t need to be life-changing, we aren’t talking about solving world hunger – but paying a stranger a compliment, paying ahead for someone’s drink in the queue, or taking the time to chat with someone who seems lonely, these are all great ways to bring some light into a persons’ day with ease.
Limit Sugar Intake
This is one of the most popular ideas around Lent, giving up sugar in advance of Easter. There’s all sorts of benefits to doing this, from improving your diet to seeing your skin clear up and feeling more motivated, but it’s also incredibly hard, especially if you have a bit of a sweet tooth. Rather than ban yourself entirely, reducing your intake is a good middle point – so you can still feel like you’re hitting your goals, while allowing yourself a sweet treat when you deserve it.
Introduce Wellness Goals
Bringing in wellness goals can include loads of different things, so you can really make this work for you however you like. Some people choose to focus on reducing screen time, and reading more, or maybe to spend more time outdoors exercising to get outside. Maybe you want to spend more time on self-care, making yourself feel good to take on each day. Whatever wellness looks like to you, is the way to go – so see what works for you and go from there.
