Looking after your body and mind can take a little practice, you might not always know exactly what you need. Creating a wellness routine is the best way to support yourself. If you need a few ideas to get started, focus on these pointers.
1 . Set realistic goals
If you’re looking to create a wellness routine, it’s important to set realistic goals. There’s no point setting yourself a super strict exercise regime if you’re not going to stick to it. Be honest with yourself, start small, and reevaluate once you’ve achieved your goals.
We all have different wellness goals, your goals might relate to positive thinking, living more sustainably, or eating more vegetables? Whatever your goals are, writing them down is the first step. When you’re working on your goals it can be useful to keep a journal. A journal can help you to identify your aims and make progress.
2. Experiment with fitness
Gym sessions aren’t for everyone, but just because you’re not a gym bunny it doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy fitness. If you haven’t found an exercise activity you like yet, keep on searching. There’s so much to try from squash to dance and paddleboarding. Trying new things is a great way to move out of your comfort zone, and boost your confidence. After a while, you’re bound to find a fitness activity that you love.
3. Improve your cooking
When you improve your cooking you’ll improve your relationship with food. Eating healthy doesn’t have to mean bland or boring, and the better you are at cooking the more it becomes clear. There are so many different ways that you can get better at cooking and have fun with it:
- Take a cooking class.
- Use cooking apps.
- Throw lots of dinner parties.
- Use recipe books.
- Join a supper club.
4. Identify your stressors
We all have different stressors, and when we’re feeling stressed it’s hard to look after our well-being. Identifying your stressors will help you to reflect, and make changes in your life if needed. Perhaps you’re stressed by work, relationships, finances, or health? Most of the things that stress us out don’t have a quick fix. But that doesn’t mean we can’t work on solving our problems. Once you figure out your stressors you can establish the best coping stress coping tactics.
5. Listen to your body
Health and wellness is all about listening to your body. If you think that something is not right, it’s important to see a doctor as soon as you can. Don’t skip your regular health visits, for example, trips to your opticians and your audiologist. If you have ear issues, your audiologist will be able to help you, (for example, by offering a hearing aid).
Focusing on these five steps will help you to create a wellness routine that works for you. When you make an effort to improve your wellbeing you’ll soon see results.
