Simple Wellness Practices for a Balanced Life

Wellness isn’t about extreme diets or 2-hour workouts. Small, consistent habits create lasting energy and peace. Try these:

1. Digital Sunset

• Turn off screens 1 hour before bed.
• Improves sleep quality dramatically.

2. Gratitude Journaling

• Write 3 things you’re grateful for daily.
• Rewires your brain for positivity.

3. The 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding Technique

When stressed:

• 5 things you see
• 4 things you touch
• 3 things you hear
• 2 things you smell
• 1 thing you taste
• Instantly calms anxiety.

4. Weekly “Joy Activities”

Schedule time for:

• A hobby (painting, hiking, cooking)
• Social connection (call a friend)
• Prevents burnout.

5. Breathwork for Instant Calm

• Box Breathing: Inhale 4 sec → Hold 4 sec → Exhale 4 sec → Hold 4 sec.
• Reduces stress in 60 seconds.

Remember: Wellness = Progress, not perfection.
