Wellness Wednesday is the best day of the week! If you’re new to celebrating this mid week self care day, we have some awesome Wellness Wednesday Tips and Quotes to help you get started!
Wellness Wednesday is all about taking care of yourself. It’s a great time to stop, reflect, and re-focus your energy on yourself. It’s an all encompassing day and for many people, it may mean different things. Celebrating this special mid-week day can be great for anyone on a self-care journey!
Wellness Wednesday Tips and Ideas to Help You Build a Routine
Tip # 1 – Plan Your Day
The first thing about Wellness Wednesday is that you should plan your wellness activities! Planning is a huge piece of the puzzle when you are starting a new routine or you want to follow through with your commitments.
It’s best that you start with 1-2 small activities. If you plan too many things, you might not get through them and you might be a bit deflated.
Also, we suggest that you practice time blocking – that will make planning easier. By setting up your schedule with designated self care time, it’s more likely that you’ll follow through with the plan.
If you’re a morning person, try to wake up earlier and if you’re a night owl, make sure that you shut your computer after work or leave all your other tasks behind.
Tip #2 – Figure out What Type of Wellness You’ll Practice
There are 7 types of self care and depending on what you’d like to invest your time in, there’s an ideas for everyone.
If you’re looking to knock two different areas of self care, a great example is Yoga – practice spiritual and physical self care at the same time!
Tip #3 – Practice Mindfulness and Gratitude During Wellness Wednesday
Forming habits doesn’t happen over night. In fact, it usually takes 66 days. Since Wednesday is just once a week, practice every Wednesday because consistency is key.
Your wellness activity could be 5 minutes of meditation or affirmations in the car if you’re pressed for time. Consistency also creates great habits.
Additionally, if you are mindful and practice gratitude while you’re meditating or doing yoga, it’s more likely that you’ll welcome these new habits into your life!
