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. One big focus for me this year is finding ways to practice wellness. I thought I would share them with you!

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.
