2025 Word of the Year: Restoration—Reviving What’s Been Lost
Reclaim, Heal, and Rebuild Your Life with Purpose and Peace
Welcome to 2025, a year destined for Restoration. This year, we embrace the powerful art of revival—reclaiming what’s been lost, healing what’s been broken, and rebuilding what’s been torn down. Restoration is not just about fixing the cracks; it’s about bringing back to life the parts of us that need the most love, care, and attention.
Why Restoration?
This year, we’re focusing on renewal, growth, and wholeness. Restoration is about reclaiming your vitality and your inner strength, healing the wounds that have held you back, and transforming your mindset to one that celebrates all the possibilities the future holds.
Restoration isn’t just physical—it’s deeply spiritual, emotional, and mental. It’s a call to restore the parts of yourself that have been damaged by the hustle, the stress, and the setbacks of life. It’s about remembering that you are worthy of healing and that it’s okay to let go of what no longer serves you in order to make space for the new.
Restoring Faith
Restoration begins within. This year, we’re going to renew our faith—faith in ourselves, in our purpose, and in the divine plan that is unfolding in our lives. We’re releasing doubt and opening ourselves to trust and possibility. Faith is the foundation for restoration—it allows us to stand firm even in the face of uncertainty. Whether it’s rebuilding your spiritual practices or simply trusting that things are aligning as they should, restoration starts with a renewed belief in what’s possible.
Restoring Fellowship
Restoration isn’t a solo journey. It’s about finding your tribe—the people who encourage, challenge, and uplift you. Fellowship is a key part of restoring your life. This year, we focus on relationships that help us grow, bring us peace, and fuel our purpose. It’s time to invest in meaningful connections, restore broken bonds, and embrace the power of community. Because no one heals alone.
Restoring Flowers
Flowers are the perfect metaphor for restoration. They bloom, they wither, and they bloom again. Their cycles remind us that even in life’s toughest seasons, beauty can emerge. This year, we’ll look to flowers not just for beauty, but for inspiration. Like flowers, we have the ability to regenerate and flourish—no matter what we’ve been through. By surrounding ourselves with nature and its healing properties, we restore our energy, our creativity, and our joy.
