The Pressure of the Modern Wellness Routine
Mouth Tape, red light, magnesium, gua sha, collagen, manuka honey… The list of items needed to be an official ‘wellness girlie’ is endless. On top of this the ‘wellness girlie’ needs to read an hour before bed, walk four miles a day, swap her coffee for matcha, and wake up before 7am. She should drink electrolytes, be dairy free, avoid alcohol, and meditate daily.
Women are constantly bombarded with such messages that tell us to be better, be healthier, be more, want more, have more, do more. We are often brainwashed to believe that taking care of ourselves means buying expensive products and working ourselves to burnout in the process. However, you already have everything you need to have a fulfilling life.
The Real Wellness Girlie: A New Definition
It is time to embrace a new perspective. The REAL WELLNESS GIRLIE is not defined by her purchases, but by how she treats herself. Here is what it truly means to live well:
- She shows up for herself and creates space for herself.
- She honors what she needs to feel cared for.
- She gives herself the compassion and love she deserves.
- She allows herself to sleep in when she needs it and skips her skincare routine when she feels like it.
- She takes a walk instead of pushing herself to run and has dessert when she wants to.
- She invites herself to do less!
