10 ways to feel more well

Feeling well can come from many different contributing factors, from the small things like a good hair day, to the larger things like a great night's sleep and some sunshine. Our bodies operate much like cars in that they respond to the right fuel, full tyres, clean mirrors etc. So what are some ways we can fuel our bodies to be thriving smooth operators?

Keeping in mind that wellness is a journey, not a 10-minute quick fix, try one at a time or implement one a week. Let's dive into 10 ways you can feel more well.

 

1. Nutrition

What you eat is an important part of your overall wellbeing. Eating a varied selection of fruits and vegetables in different colours is a simple way to bring a range of nutrients, flavours and textures into your diet.

Rather than focusing on getting everything perfect, think about adding more variety to your meals and snacks where you can. This is why we created Super Greens + Reds, with 23 greens and reds in one simple daily glass, making it easy to add more plant-based ingredients to your everyday routine.

2. Say hello to Collagen & Gelatin

Our favourite everyday staples, Collagen Beauty and Gelatin, are versatile products that can easily be added to food and drinks.

 

3. Water

Staying hydrated is one of those simple everyday habits that can be easy to overlook. Keep a water bottle nearby, sip regularly throughout the day and make water your go-to drink.

How much water you need can vary from person to person depending on things like your activity levels, diet and the weather, so find a routine that works for you.

Try adding some fresh lemon, berries or mint to your water if plain H₂O isn't quite your thing.

4. Sleep

Getting that precious shut eye is about so much more than beauty sleep. A consistent sleep routine can be a wonderful addition to your overall wellbeing and give you some much-needed time to switch off from the day.

While everyone's sleep needs are different, most adults need around 7–9 hours each night.

Try creating a simple wind-down routine that helps you relax before bed. Put your phone away, read a book, listen to something calming or simply give yourself some quiet time before hitting the hay.

5. Movement

Movement doesn't have to look like pumping weights or spending an hour in the gym. A simple walk, a stretch between meetings or five minutes of movement can all be easy ways to get your body moving.

The most important thing is finding something you enjoy and making it part of your routine in a way that feels realistic for you.

Put on your favourite playlist, head outside for a walk, try a yoga class or dance around the kitchen. Whatever gets you moving and makes you feel good!

 

6. Meditate

Meditation is free and it doesn't have to take more than 5–10 minutes. Creating a little space in your day for mindfulness, intentional breathing or quiet time can be a simple way to slow things down.

Create a calm and quiet space and start with a few minutes at a time. If you're not sure where to begin, there are loads of guided meditation and mindfulness options available online.

And if traditional meditation isn't your thing, that's okay too. A quiet cup of tea, sitting in the sunshine or taking a few minutes away from your phone can all give you a little breathing room.

7. Get outside

Sometimes the simplest way to reset is to step outside. Take your morning coffee into the sunshine, walk around the block, sit in the garden or head to your favourite local spot.

A little fresh air, sunshine and time away from your screens can be a lovely addition to your day.

Soak up some sunshine when you can, get your shoes on and go for a wander. Nature has a funny way of reminding us to slow down and look around.

 

 

 

8. Cut back on stress

Easier said than done, we get it. But making a little more room for the things that help you unwind can be a worthwhile addition to your routine.

A great way to start is by writing down the things that are taking up mental space, then thinking about what you can change, delegate or simply let go of. You can also make a list of the things you enjoy and schedule some of them into your week, even if it's just five minutes of quiet time.

Each one of us is so different here. A walk on the beach sounds relaxing for some and to others the mention of sand and salty air makes your skin crawl - do what works for you!

 

9. Get creative

Making time for something creative can be a lovely way to switch gears and do something purely for the joy of it.

The list of creative outlets is lengthy, but here's some suggestions to try or learn if you're looking for inspiration: learning a musical instrument, painting, drawing, colouring in, journaling, dancing or getting creative in the kitchen.

You don't need to be the next Picasso either. Pick something that sounds fun, give yourself permission to be terrible at it and enjoy the process.

 

10. Make time for laughter

Before you write this one off, trust us when we say that sometimes a good laugh is exactly what the day needs.

Watch something that makes you laugh, call the friend who always gets you giggling, listen to your favourite comedy podcast or put on a silly movie.

Wellness doesn't always have to be serious. Make time for the people, places and things that bring a little joy into your day.

 

There you have it! Ten simple ways to bring a little more wellbeing into your everyday routine.

You don't need to overhaul your entire life overnight. Start with one small change, find what feels good and build from there. Wellness is about the little things we do consistently, not about being perfect.

So drink your water, eat your veggies, get outside, move your body, have a laugh and, most importantly, give yourself a little grace along the way.
