In 2025, it’s time to elevate your wellness routine. These 4 simple yet effective steps will transform your daily habits and help you shine from the inside out.
1. Start a Simple Journaling Practice
Journaling doesn’t have to be overwhelming or time-consuming. Even five minutes with a single journaling prompt in your phone’s notes app can provide clarity and space for self-reflection. Keep it simple and find a routine that works for you. Here are some prompts to get started:
AM Prompts:
- How does my body feel right now?
- What’s one task I can do today to move closer to my goals?
- How do I want to feel today?
- What’s one act of kindness I can offer someone today?
PM Prompts:
- What was my favourite moment of the day?
- What’s one thing I learned today that I want to remember?
- How did I show up in my relationships today?
- How did I look after myself today?
2. Try Short Breathwork Meditations
Breathwork is a powerful way to calm the mind and regulate the nervous system. By focusing on your breath, you can shift into a restorative “rest and digest” state, perfect for transitions, like winding down after work or after a workout.
We recommend Dr Andrew Weil’s 4-7-8 breath technique:
- Exhale completely through your mouth, making a whoosh sound.
- Close your mouth and inhale quietly through your nose to a count of four.
- Hold your breath for a count of seven.
- Exhale fully through your mouth to a count of eight.
Repeat for four rounds, and feel your body relax in minutes.
3. Switch to Silk Pillowcases
Swapping from cotton to silk pillowcases is an easy upgrade with big benefits. Silk is gentle on your skin, reducing friction that can cause wrinkles and retaining hydration by not absorbing moisture. Naturally hypoallergenic and cooling, silk also helps prevent irritation, minimises acne, and keeps your skin feeling fresh overnight.
4. Drink More Herbal Tea
Replacing excess coffee and soft drinks with herbal tea is a simple, effective wellness swap. Warm teas aid digestion, while iced teas cool and detox the body on hot days. Herbal teas are packed with antioxidants, help reduce inflammation, and keep you hydrated.
Here are some of our favourites:
- Iced Green Tea with Manuka Honey: Steep green tea with honey, refrigerate overnight, and enjoy for an antioxidant boost.
- Dandelion Root Tea: Sipped warm with a splash of almond milk, it’s perfect for digestion and liver detox.
- Chamomile Tea: Enjoy before bed to relax, soothe the skin, and reduce inflammation.
