Wellness Made Easy: How to Simplify Your Daily Health Routine
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by wellness routines, you’re not alone. With the amount of social media "experts" each sharing how they have the secret formula for health - it very quickly becomes this HUGE undertaking to get your daily NEAT in, exercise, eat "clean", avoid blue light, balance your hormones ... oh and do it all while staying incredibly chill because we definitely don't want cOrTiSaL fAcE from inflammation. Phew.
Between 10+-step morning checklists, endless health products and the pressure to “do it all,” staying well can feel like a full-time job (on top of the full-time jobs you already have!).
The truth is, wellness doesn’t have to be complicated to be effective.
But the reason no one is telling you that, is because by complicating health and wellness - they can charge money for the "easy" solution!
Which is the entire overarching philosophy of Wake Up to Wellness - busting the BS around how complex this area of life has become - and showing you just how easy it can actually be. Not to mention freeing.
The best health routines are the ones you can actually stick to - simple, sustainable, and stress-free.
Why Most Wellness Routines Don’t Last
Many people start strong with complicated diets or supplement stacks, but eventually give up. ADHD peeps will know the feels of "all or nothing" i.e. burning it down to start again but then losing interest the moment the burn subsides.
Complicated routines aren’t built for real life. When you’re juggling work, family, and everything else, you need something that feels doable every day.
That’s why the smartest approach to health is focusing on a few powerful habits that actually make a difference.
3 Simple Wellness Habits That Stick
1. Eat Something in the Morning
Your body has been fasting all night, so giving it fuel in the morning helps stabilise blood sugar, boost energy, and support focus. It doesn’t have to be a big sit-down breakfast (although I highly recommend it is lol) even something simple like fruit with yogurt, eggs on toast, or a smoothie can set you up for steady energy (and fewer cravings) later in the day. For the fasting girlies, please know that fasting overnight still counts! Morning fasting just leads to increased cortisol!
2. Move in a Way You Enjoy
Forget the guilt of skipping the gym. Movement counts whether it’s walking, stretching, or dancing in your kitchen. The more fun it feels, the more likely you’ll keep doing it. Daily NEAT is actually one of the best ways to stay in shape - that's non-exercise activity thermogenesis (basically just the additional movement from being active eg gardening, chores, playing with your kids etc).
3. Focus on the Supplement Your Body Needs Most Right Now
Wellness isn’t about taking everything at once - it’s about giving your body the support it needs in the moment. Instead of juggling five different bottles, choose the product that matches your current priority, whether that’s better sleep, calmer focus, or balanced mood. When you target what you need most, you’ll notice the benefits faster - and it feels simpler to stay consistent.
The Benefits of Keeping Wellness Simple
When your routine is easy, it sticks. And when it sticks, you see results:
- Better sleep (without needing five nighttime products)
- Improved focus and calm energy
- Balanced mood and less stress
- More time and headspace for the things you love
The key to long-term wellness isn’t doing more - it’s doing less, but better.
How to Build Your Own Simple Health Routine
Start with one or two changes at a time. Add a glass of water with lemon in the morning. Put milk in your black coffee. Swap endless supplement bottles for one daily sachet. Go for a short walk on your lunch break. Small steps compound into big results when you’re consistent.
What is it that you're needing most right now?
Better sleep? A happier mood? To feel more regulated?
What it is you're needing will determine the solution!
Sleep -> try to do something with your hands at night like colouring in, puzzles or knitting. Don't sit passively just scrolling or watching tv, move your hands and do a hobby while you watch tv to shift that final energy out. A sleep sachet, and/or hot shower before bed.
Mood -> each morning ask yourself "what's something that would make me happy today?" and see what pops in.
Regulation -> try morning pages each morning to shift out the excess in your mind. A calming Wind Down hot choccie in the day, or some silent time in the afternoon.
Final Thoughts
If you’ve been stuck in wellness overwhelm, it’s time to simplify. You don’t need a perfect routine - you just need one you’ll actually enjoy. Focus on hydration, movement you love, and a supplement that works as hard as you do.
✨ Wellness made easy, for real life.
