The Problem with Prescriptive Wellness
We live in a world where wellness is often packaged and sold:
Morning routines, supplements, 10-step checklists, and bootcamp challenges.
But here’s the truth:
If it doesn’t fit your lifestyle, your nervous system, or your energy—it’s not wellness.

Why Personalized Wellness Matters
The goal isn’t to copy what’s working for someone else.
It’s to notice what feels restorative to you.
If journaling bores you, but walking clears your head—that’s your wellness.
If group yoga drains you, but solo dancing lifts your spirit—that’s your wellness.

Wellness Practices That Don’t Look Instagram-Worthy (But Count)
Cancelling plans to get sleep
Listening to music while cooking
Taking walks without your phone
Saying “no” to non-urgent emails after 6 p.m.
Rewatching comfort shows for emotional regulation
Blocking your calendar for quiet time

Start With This Question:
> “What makes me feel more like me again?”
Wellness isn’t a trend to follow.
It’s a relationship with yourself—one that evolves, adapts, and honors where you are today.

Final Thought: Permission to Do It Your Way
There’s no prize for the most productive self-care.
There’s only presence. Peace. Alignment.
Give yourself permission to redefine what wellness looks like—just for you.
