Simplicity and Consistency: My Wellness Approach

Consistency forms the foundation of my wellness journey. To keep things manageable, I focus on three key areas: nutrition, mindfulness, and physical activity. By simplifying my routine, I’ve developed habits that seamlessly fit into my daily life.


Nutrition: Fueling My Body for the Week

Good nutrition is at the heart of my weekly routine. To fuel my body, I prioritize a balanced diet that includes:

  • Protein, healthy fats, and whole grains.
  • A variety of fruits and vegetables for essential vitamins and minerals.

Additionally, I practice intermittent fasting two days a week. This not only resets my body but also helps maintain consistent energy levels throughout the day.


Mindfulness: Centering My Mind Every Morning

Mindfulness is a key part of my routine. To start each day on the right note, I incorporate:

  • Breathwork and mindfulness exercises for 5–10 minutes.
  • A 20–30 minute session in an infrared sauna, which promotes relaxation and supports recovery.

These practices ensure that my mind stays calm and centered, no matter how busy my day gets.


Physical Activity: Staying Active and Energized

To keep my body strong and my energy levels high, I engage in a variety of physical activities each week:

  • Power Plate sessions for 10–15 minutes to stimulate whole-body vibration.
  • Walking 10,000–12,000 steps daily, often outdoors in nature or on a treadmill when indoors.
  • Cycling on my gravel, mountain, or road bike for 1–2 hours, three days a week.

These activities are not only enjoyable but also help me maintain a strong, resilient body.


My Wellness Priorities: Non-Negotiables

Regardless of how my week unfolds, I always make time for my core wellness priorities:

  1. Breathing techniques to manage stress and stay composed.
  2. Staying hydrated to maintain energy and focus.
  3. Practicing daily mindfulness to remain centered and grounded.

These habits ensure I stay balanced and ready to take on whatever challenges come my way.


Conclusion

Balancing wellness, nutrition, and adventure is key to maintaining a vibrant lifestyle. Whether it’s preparing nutritious meals, embracing mindfulness, or staying active outdoors, I’ve found that simplicity and consistency make all the difference.
