This year marks a shift in how we think about wellness. Instead of making a long list of things to “fix,” overhauling routines, and feeling burnt out by February, we’re finding what works for us in our real lives.

Wellness that works doesn’t require perfection or extremes. All you need is a few habits you can lean on, even (especially) when life gets busy. 

Look For a Baseline, Not a Blueprint

It makes sense to turn to social media for routine inspiration when you’re looking to shake things up. Your favorite health, fitness, productivity, diet, and lifestyle influencers likely have some helpful tips that you can use. However, remember that what works for them might not necessarily work for you. 

Instead of using their advice as a blueprint, use it as a baseline—a starting point you adjust to your lifestyle and preferences. Take your favorite pieces of advice or the things that actually help make your life easier, and leave the rest. Give yourself permission to branch out and try things your way.

Simplify Your Wellness Routine

A routine that only works on your most productive days isn’t sustainable. Habits make the biggest impact when they are intentionally designed to move with the ebbs and flows of life. 

For example, making yourself a full breakfast every morning is a great goal. But what about those days you’re short on time or don’t feel like cooking and cleaning up? Perhaps a nutrient-dense protein smoothie is a more realistic option for you. 

Maybe you want to build a supplement stack that supports every aspect of your health, but you have a hard time remembering to take all of them at the right time of day. Start simple with an everyday multivitamin. Add one or two more supplements once you’ve made the habit automatic.

Choose Rituals Over Resolutions

Resolutions often come with rigid expectations. I’m going to exercise five days a week might not be feasible every week.

Rituals, on the other hand, are smaller, everyday moments that contribute to a bigger goal. Starting your morning with water before caffeine. Making time for a 10-minute walk when you can. 

Carry This Energy Forward

You don’t need to reinvent yourself to feel better this year. Choose what feels supportive and build from there.
