The New Year is all about new habits and routines and you might think you need to overhaul your entire routine overnight, but the truth is that small, consistent changes are what lead to sustainable results. When I started my wellness journey over 8 years ago, I started small and that's exactly what I want to help you do too! By focusing on simple, actionable steps it can make all the difference when creating habits that stick! To help you get started, I’ve created three different 28-day challenges designed to ease you into healthier habits. Whether you're looking to boost your physical activity, improve your nutrition, or prioritize self-care, these challenges will help you build momentum toward your goals. And the best part? You don’t have to tackle everything all at once. Let’s dive in! The 28-Day Walking Challenge
Walking is one of the simplest and most effective ways to incorporate movement into your daily routine. It’s low-impact, accessible to almost everyone, and can be done anywhere—outdoors, on a treadmill, or even on a walking pad at home.
Benefits of Walking:
Boosts cardiovascular health and stamina.
Enhances mood and reduces stress levels.
Improves joint health and mobility.
Aids in weight management and calorie burn.
Tips for Success:
Start Where You Are: If you’re new to walking, aim for 10-15 minutes daily and gradually increase your time.
Set Small Goals: Focus on consistency rather than distance. For example, commit to walking five days a week.
Make It Enjoyable: Listen to your favorite podcast, music, or audiobook while you walk.
Track Your Progress: Use a step counter, app, or journal to monitor your daily activity.

The 28-Day Nutrition Challenge
Healthy eating doesn’t have to mean rigid diets or giving up your favorite foods. It took me years to understand this! It wasn't until I really started looking at labels, and understanding what my body needs that I really got the results I was after! Instead, it’s about making small, intentional changes to nourish your body and fuel your energy.
Benefits of Better Nutrition:
Stabilizes energy levels throughout the day.
Supports immunity and overall health.
Improves digestion and reduces bloating.
Encourages better sleep and mental clarity.
Tips for Success:
Focus on Additions, Not Restrictions: Incorporate more fruits, vegetables, and whole foods rather than cutting out everything you love.
Plan Ahead: Meal prep for the week to save time and reduce stress.
Stay Hydrated: Make water your beverage of choice and aim for consistent hydration.
Be Mindful: Listen to your body’s hunger cues and savor your meals without distractions.

The 28-Day Wellness & Self-Care Challenge

Benefits of Prioritizing Wellness:
Reduces stress and increases resilience.
Boosts mood and overall happiness.

Unplug: Take a break from screens and social media to reconnect with yourself.
