In need of improving wellness, but don't know where to start? Below is a week-long list of daily activities that you can do for living well. You do not have to participate in every single activity each day; you can choose one for each day to practice these wellness habits.
Sunday
- Get outside and soak up some vitamin D. Find a park or trail and take a walk (tip - get someone to go for a walk with you).
- Be aware of your feelings. Express them to people you trust.
- Practice and say out loud five positive affirmations (ex. I am strong, I am brave, I am smart, I am loved, etc.)
Monday
- Make a budget for April. If needed, talk to a financial advisor to get started.
- Reach out to someone you care about. Make a date to get together.
- Declutter, donate, and recycle things you don't need or use anymore.
Tuesday
- Have a plant-based meal.
- Be well at work - set goals for your career and start taking steps to achieve them.
- Find an opportunity to appreciate nature.
Wednesday
- Schedule any doctors visits, exams, or checkups that you have been putting off.
- Be a role model for those around you. Let them see you making healthy choice and encourage them to do the same.
- Nurture your spiritual wellness. Ask yourself what values are most important to you.
Thursday
- Bring a homemade lunch to work rather than buying fast food.
- Explore public events in your community and discover ways to get involved.
