I think it’s really easy for us to avoid practicing wellness. It’s not that we don’t want to. For me, I think I find it hard to just slow down. I feel like there are always things to do, projects to work on, work that could be done, clothes that can be folded, etc. It doesn’t leave a lot of time for me, or to focus on my self-care and wellness. Some of this comes with being a wife and mom to two young kids but also I think it’s partially my personality. This time of year can be extra hard with all the added in events can be even harder so here are 27 ways to practice wellness- when you REALLY need it!

Wellness may mean different things to different people but to me personally, I really think of wellness as overall health, wellness, exercise, and self-care. The things you put in your body, the energy you project, the way you take care of yourself, and even the way you talk to yourself.

I like it when they are simple and easy to insert into your routine, also because they are the most effective!
This reminds me that it’s so important to be aware of practicing wellness. Especially since for me it’s looked so different nthis past year then normal.
I love all of these so much. I’ve been on a mission to be more well, but it’s been mostly limited to diet and exercise. I never really thought about all of th oeher ways I could take care of myself.
These are all wonderful tips. There are so many ways that we can nurture our bodies AND our minds. Love it.
What a fantastic list! I practice many of them on a regular basis, including walking outside daily.
What great reminders. I’m pleased to see that I do already practise some of these but certainly not all of them. I particularly like the affirmations on the bathroom mirror. What a great idea and so simple to do! Thanks for the inspo!
Such an awesome tips for wellness. Food and exercise boost our energy.Thanks for sharing
This is a really great list of things you can do. Need to print that out and place it on my fridge as a reminder. I tend to forget these things.
These are really great tips! I love how easy they are too! ❤️✨

I like the list. A green smoothie always works wonders for me.
I really enjoyed how widespread these wellness tips were. It wasn’t just focusing on one particular version of wellness (like the body), but the home, the mind, etc. I’ll definitely need to incorporate some more of these into my life.
Those are some great points to keep in mind and those are good ways to practice wellness.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this! I’ve been so much more focused on taking care of ME this year, since the past couple years have been all about my boys. Such a good list!
I think I need a brain dump! Apart from gym and tennis, I also do walk a lot. We need elf-care especially during these days. Do you agree? 🙂
These are all great suggestions for practicing wellness! I’m definitely trying to drink more water and with the weather warming up a bit I’ve been going for a lot of walks lately!
Taking a brain dump. I took off work today, first time in as long as I can remember, so I can just relax for a minute. It already feels great and it’s only seven in the morning. 🙂
Great ways to experience wellness! The more we experiment with it, as well, we find what works the best for us.
Wellness practices are important for all. I love your list. Most especially, I love that you have called out tasks that are not only about physical wellness.
Am so impressed by this article,
Looking forward to more such article like this
Hello! Thank you for such an interesting and useful article. You need to put all the things about which you wrote yourself as a goal! There are some things I already do, but I feel like I still have a lot to do, like learning to drive, drinking vitamins and exercising regularly! This is really important in order to be not only beautiful, but also healthy inside, and this is the most important thing! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!)))
great list!
I absolutely love this, this is great! Thank you so much for sharing!
What a great list! There are small habits that we sometimes skip over and can drive us to wellness!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing these.
This serves as a reminder to me of how critical it is to keep in mind the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Particularly in light of the fact that, to my eyes, it has seemed somewhat differently than usual throughout the course of the past year.
