Decluttering Your Wellness Plan: What’s Realistic for You?

We all have a vision of what our ideal wellness plan looks like. We “should” be running more, eating less processed food, getting 8 hours of sleep, and going to the gym on a regular basis. But how realistic is it for us to stick with these plans? Wellness looks different for everyone, and finding the strategies that fit into your life is the key to success. In this blog post, we’ll discuss how to declutter your wellness plan and make sure you’re setting realistic goals for yourself. 

Identify Your Goals and Priorities 
The first step in decluttering your wellness plan is to identify your goals and priorities. Ask yourself questions like “What do I want to achieve?” and “What am I willing to commit to?” Once you have an idea of what you want out of your wellness routine, you can start creating specific plans that will help you reach those goals. 

Be Honest with Yourself About Your Limitations 
We often put unrealistic expectations on ourselves when it comes to our health and fitness goals. It’s important to be honest with yourself about your limitations so that you don’t set yourself up for failure. For example, if you know that you won’t realistically have time or energy after work every day to go running, then don’t make that part of your routine! Instead, focus on things that are more achievable—like taking a walk or doing some yoga at home in the evenings. 

Find Strategies That Work for You 
Finally, once you have identified your priorities and limitations it’s time to find strategies that work for you! Come up with creative solutions that will help you stay motivated and on track with your wellness goals. This could mean signing up for a class at the gym or downloading an app that tracks your progress. The important thing is that whatever strategy you choose fits into your life in a way that works for you!  

​ Taking the time to identify your priorities and limitations as well as finding strategies that work best for YOU will ensure success in reaching those goals! Remember - wellness looks different for everyone so don't get discouraged if something isn't working out or if things don't turn out as planned - just keep adjusting until it does!
