How do I build a wellness toolkit?

1. Take some time to reflect: Reflect on different aspects of your life, including your surrounds, your feelings, your body, and your relationships.

2. What aspects of your life are most important to you? This could include managing stress, getting better sleep, increasing movement, investing in your relationships, or finding more joy in life.

3. Be curious! Look into different practices, techniques, and resources that align with your priorities. Maybe start a new book or podcast, start taking a 5-minute walk after work each day, call a loved one once a week, or try a new recipe with a neighbor.

4. Experiment with different tools and practices: See what works for you and your needs!

5. Make a plan: Plan for how and when to use your tools. Consider scheduling specific times for self-care activities, setting reminders, or habit stacking.

6. This is a journey, not a destination: Periodically review and update your wellness toolkit to see what is or isn’t working for you. As your circumstances and preferences change, so will the things that bring you joy and well-being.

7. Patience is key: Be patient with yourself and trust you have the wisdom and intuition to create a toolkit that supports your life!
