So wellness and improving my overall wellness – not just my fitness and how I’m eating although is part of the picture too – has become incredibly important to me over the last year or so. I’ve learnt more than ever that we really do have to look after ALL of us.
One of the biggest things I’ve implemented into my life is my office, which is finally finished. Having that dedicated space to myself has given me such a huge boost and allowed me to be more productive, feel more grounded and not get overwhelmed by the constant chatter of every day life. Of course a whole garden office isn’t an option for everyone, you could consider office pods instead if that’s a route you want to go down.
But what I’m getting at is that all of these little things combined help us to tend to all those different parts of us.
We are more than just a body and a brain.
We are spirit. We have emotions. And each and every part of our being deserves that same love and respect that we often give our physical bodies. I’ve been on a pretty incredible spiritual journey lately, which has definitely helped me see light to this.
Wellness is something a lot of us are focusing on lately so today’s post will hopefully show you some different types of wellness tips to add into your daily life to help you tend to ALL THE GOOD STUFF.
So, ready to change your life, one small quantum leap at a time?
Here are 10 wellness hacks that will change your life!
Use blue light settings on your phone
I mentioned this in this post about self care tips to incorporate into your night-time routine but it’s so good I want to mention it again. Since setting the blue light to mimic the sunlight on my phone, my sleep has improved AND I’ve suffered from less headaches!
Dive deep into your limiting beliefs
Your limiting beliefs are strong. And for most of us, they’ve been there since childhood. These limiting beliefs might be what’s holding you back from reaching your full physical, emotional, mental, intellectual and financial potential. One of my biggest emotional and spiritual wellness hacks would be to dive deeeeep into those beliefs.
Or if you can, invest in a life coach
Or even better, work with a life coach. Investing in a life coach was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I have broken through so many mental barriers – some of which I didn’t even know I had. And I have never felt more abundant since working with a life coach. This isn’t to say that only adults can benefit from it, as teenage life coaching is becoming increasingly popular and it makes sense, it’s a great time to change behaviours!
Walk (whatever the weather)
Walking is something I incorporated into my life in Summer of 2020, when we were first in lockdown. I just needed to get out of the house but it turned into a crucial part of my day. If you don’t like running, walking is your option. If you need to clear your head, go for a walk.
Okay, perhaps not ALL weather is appropriate for a long walk. Which is fine! Not all of us enjoy walking in the pouring rain or blazing sunshine. If that sounds like you, then an under desk elliptical could be the answer!
Under desk ellipticals are a great way to get your body moving and blood pumping, when you’re going to be at home or at your desk for a longer period of time. And a great alternative if you don’t fancy going for a walk outside!

10 wellness hacks to change your life continued:
Limit screen time
That dreaded screen time. As someone that works on a laptop all day, every day, I can reaaaally feel the effects of too much screen time. We’re CONSTANTLY looking at screens so it’s no wonder our eyes hurt, our heads hurt, our backs hurt from hunching over our phones. So set those screen limits, you won’t regret it.
Listen to uplifting and educational podcasts
I have been LOVING a podcast lately. And my favourite thing to do is run myself a bubble bath, with candles, crystals and chocolate and put on a good podcast. Right now, I’m loving Manifestation Babe and Badass Manifester.

Curate your social media to suit YOU
Another game-changer but something super simple that we should all be doing anyway. Curating your social media is so beneficial for your mental health and mental well-being. Those block, mute and unfollow buttons are there for a reason – use them!
Start your month with an intention setting ritual
Monthly intention setting rituals have changed my life. They are the perfect way to end a month / start the new one.
Start your day with a glass of water
Ending on a nice simple but effective one here and that’s just starting your day with a glass of water. Hydrate yourself when you wake up and start noticing the difference. I like to add a slice or two of lemon to my water in the morning sometimes too, which is really refreshing.
