How to Survive and Thrive in 2025

1. Embrace Change, Empower Yourself

There’s an old saying, ‘May you live in interesting times,’ which sounds like a nice wish but is actually meant as a warning. ‘Interesting times’ often mean hard or uncertain times, when big changes happen, and life can feel confusing or scary. Right now, it feels like that warning has come true. The world is full of challenges and changes, and we are living through those ‘interesting times’ that test what we’re made of.

2025 is shaping up to be a year of transformation—global conflicts, environmental challenges, digital currencies, and artificial intelligence are reshaping the world as we know it. While we can’t control everything happening around us, one thing remains firmly within our grasp: ourselves. This can become a time of profound change, growth, and rejuvenation.

Throughout my 'long' life—yes, I’m turning 67 this month—I’ve become convinced that having a goal makes hard times more manageable. I’ve faced plenty of challenges, and I’ve learned that focusing on a goal can shift your attention away from the negatives in your life.

Set a Goal. To thrive in this new world, we must first trust ourselves. The thoughts, dreams, and longings you’ve carried within you are not random—they are your inner compass, guiding you toward your purpose. Now is the time to act on them. And you're never too old to dream big and set new goals.

This is not a year for hesitation or self-doubt. Instead, it's a time to set clear goals and identify the roadblocks that have been holding you back. Taking these steps will pave the way for manifesting your dreams in tangible ways.

Upgrade Your Diet. It's an essential step in this transformation. Nourishing your body with clean, vibrant raw foods will activate your intuition, which will serve as your most reliable guide in navigating the challenges and opportunities ahead. Go high raw in 2025!

When we consume plant food, the raw plants begin to communicate with our own body. That aspect of living food shows how limiting it is to think about food only as a source of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, minerals, vitamins, and water necessary to support life. Quantum physics reveals that raw plant foods on the atomic level are vastly intelligent, highly organized, and intricately beautiful.

And this is the only food that has the capacity to communicate with your body to assure your health and longevity. More in my book Quantum Eating.

Invest in You: As you improve your health, appearance, and well-being, your unique talents and dreams will begin to shine.

I published my first book Your Right to Be Beautiful in 2003, and over all these years, across my 10 books and ebooks, I’ve been saying that I need to stay youthful in every way so I can start learning to dance and not be hindered by failing health or signs of premature aging. My recovery took longer than I expected, but the methods I suggested paid off. Everything I envisioned for slowing down aging worked. Even at 67, I can pursue my dream: learning to dance.

I can't show you a polished dance performance—dancing well takes time. But I can give you a glimpse of my practice. My purpose in sharing this isn't to impress, but to inspire.

If I can chase my dream with fully reconstructed hips and titanium joints, you can pursue any goal you set your mind to.

Get encouraged. It’s never too late to go for your dream. No matter how improbable others may think it. Our desires create our experiences. Those experiences, in turn, assure our growth and evolution.

However daring your wish might be, don’t trouble yourself with its claimed impossibility. The fact that you even want it means that it’s inside your ring of possibilities.

We’re all different, and that’s a good thing. That’s why others’ desires often give us the reaction: Why on earth would she want such a thing? Our desires are unique to us. They help to shape our destiny. They are part of our identity, or we wouldn’t ever want them.

You cannot have a strong desire for “the impossible.” If you have a dream, it's a good indication you can achieve it. Go ahead! Elevate that thought from a mere idle dream all the way up to a goal. What you want already exists, is already happening, within the manifold layers of an infinite universe. Believe and reach for the impossible, and see the extraordinary results unfolding before you.
 

Build a Routine: Create habits that lead you toward your goals, step by step. A skincare routine can be one of the easiest habits to start—and it often sets the tone for building others. When you feel confident in your skin, it becomes a powerful motivator to strive for more in every area of your life.

For years, I've been urging my readers to adopt the habit of using a daily masque. You may already have this practice well-established. The next step is to alternate between different types of masques on various days.

We have five distinct masques available. So, you might go through a different masque each weekday, then start again.

You may ask: Should I take time off on the weekend? I say no. Even on weekends, you still want to look good. And you want to train your skin to renew its cells as quickly as if you were a decade or more younger. As well, by rotating your masques, you defy your skin’s “expectation,” so each day your skin gets the most effective stimulation.

To make it effortless for you to embrace this masque mixology, we’ve created a special product: The Masque Carousel. Regularly priced at $130, it’s now available for just $100.

Plus, take advantage of our January Special: with orders of $100 or more, you’ll receive 20% off, making your masques up to 50% off. This is an offer you simply cannot miss!
