Charting the Course for the Rest of the Year
June 25, 2025
Key Takeaways
- Don’t forget to pause and reassess your health and personal growth goals for the remainder of the year.
- There are so many ways to adopt healthier habits, engage in eco-friendly actions, and explore new experiences to make the most of the year ahead.
As we embrace the second half of 2025, it is an ideal time to pause and reflect on our progress throughout the year – weather its embracing healthier habits, exploring new passions and striving for a more sustainable future.
Now, beyond the mid-year mark, we’re invited to check in with ourselves: How are we really doing? Have we made progress in our health, personal growth, sustainability goals, or other areas of life? It’s not just about accountability, but about celebrating growth and realigning our path forward with intention.
Revisit Your Health Goals
Wellness is a lifelong journey and mid-year presents a timely checkpoint to reassess our health goals. Whether getting more daily steps, eating healthier or minimising common ailments, simple steps can lead to a healthier you.
If you’re looking to incorporate more greens in your diet, sustainably farmed produce from Sunway XFarms can nourish the body while being kind to the planet. These locally grown, pesticide-free ingredients promote a healthier lifestyle and an eco-conscious diet.
Take this time to also check in on your health. Regular health screenings are essential to wellness. While many assume these are only necessary when feeling unwell, they play a crucial role in early detection and prevention.
As Dr. Wee Hui Yin from Sunway Healthcare Group advises, “Although health screenings should be tailored to each individual based on gender, age and family history, a general guideline is to have a comprehensive health screening annually, but for those with specific risk factors, more frequent screenings may be necessary.”
With Sunway’s healthcare centres across the country, access to quality healthcare is always within reach.
Discover New Hobbies and Skills
As we reflect on personal growth, the mid-year is also a great time to explore new skills or hobbies that bring a renewed sense of energy, inspiration and purpose.
If you’re seeking a new hobby, our Sunway Malls across the nation will have something for you!
From limited-time bonsai workshops, fitness classes to festive activities, these events are thoughtfully designed to be affordable, accessible and fun for anyone who hopes to try out a new hobby.
If you’re not sure where to begin, Pilates continues to be a trending workout for good reason – it’s a holistic method that cultivates strength, flexibility, mental focus and overall wellbeing. Sunway Geo Avenue at SCKL is home to a variety of Pilates studios, making it a great starting point for your new venture.
For those who live for excitement and active recreation, our X Parks theme parks nationwide are dedicated to motorised and non-motorised extreme and casual sports. Wherever you are, each X Park offers something for everyone, from paintball to go-karting, pickleball and even golf!
If you’re looking to pick up new digital skills, programmes like 42Malaysia, offer innovative, tuition-free computer science training — perfect for anyone eager for a fresh start in tech.
Explore, Recharge and Experience
Sometimes, a well-deserved rest is key to avoiding burnout. If travel made it onto your list of resolutions this year, consider this your reminder to realise it. It can be as simple as going on a weekend escape or treating yourself to a well-deserved staycation within the city.
Our 324-hectare Sunway City Kuala Lumpur (SCKL) is home to Sunway Lagoon, Malaysia’s premier multi-park destination, which certainly requires at least a day’s worth of exploration to uncover every thrilling ride and activity.
Take your day out further by exploring Sunway Pyramid next door, with plenty of shopping and food offerings. If you’re too tired to head home, simply end your day at any of the connecting Sunway Hotels.
Feeling a little more adventurous? Take your weekend escape to Sunway City Ipoh (SCI), located just minutes away from Ipoh town. Amidst SCI’s limestone hills, amenities such as the exhilarating Lost World of Tambun and serene Banjaran Hotsprings Retreat are more than enough to keep you entertained for the weekend, so you can leave feeling recharged and ready to take on the rest of the year!
Alternatively, if you’re looking to go abroad, Sunway City Iskandar Puteri (SCIP) is just a five-minute drive from the Second Link to Singapore via the Coastal Highway Southern Link (CHSL). SCIP is also home to the four-star Sunway Hotel Big Box with plenty of nearby amenities, including Sunway Big Box Retail Park.
Making Sustainability A Priority
Sustainability, like wellness, is an ongoing commitment. Even small shifts in how we live, move and consume can collectively make a meaningful difference.
In urban spaces like SCKL, greener ways to get around are made easier with options such as electric buses, free shuttle services, and safe, walkable routes.
At home, decluttering with purpose is an easy, yet meaningful step towards sustainability.
Through a collaboration with Kloth Cares, Sunway Malls has placed recycling bins at convenient locations to collect old clothes and fabrics, helping keep textiles out of landfills and giving old clothes a second life. It’s one of the many small actions that we can all take to help shape a greener future.
These eco-friendly alternatives make it simpler for everyone to reduce their carbon footprint.
Embrace the Rest of the Year with Purpose
As the year continues to unfold, every mindful choice, whether living healthier, making greener decisions or exploring new passions, adds up in meaningful ways.
Each step we take propels us toward a future filled with purpose and positive change.
