How to Establish Healthy Routines
Now that we’ve covered the products, let’s start bringing it all together by establishing a healthy routine.
The first key to establishing healthy routines is to make a plan! Remember, consistency is key. Take the guesswork by building your “ideal” day and keep coming back to it over and over again, gradually building up that “muscle memory” until it becomes something you don’t even have to think about anymore!

Important tips on establishing and creating healthy routines!
1. Consume a diet based on consumption of whole foods. The foundation of almost any healthy goal begins
with proper nutrition. The more a food is externally processed, the less it needs to be internally processed to be utilized by the body. Whole foods are more nutrient dense, less energy dense, contain higher amounts of fiber, and take longer to be processed. Skip the bag and box aisles and stick to the perimeter of the grocery store.
2. Drink more water. Your gastric mechanoreceptors can’t differentiate between food and water, they only
respond to the volume of the substance passing through. Water quickly passes through without need of processing, but still can temporarily trick your body into thinking it is full. If you have hunger pangs but have already met your energy needs for the day, try a glass of water first.
3. Reduce stress and anxiety. Stress and anxiety are common experiences for most people. In fact, 70% of adults in the US say they feel stress or anxiety on a daily basis. Some simple ways to do this are focusing on your self-care routine, start a gratitude practice, and laugh! Did you know laughter can also help improve your immune system and mood? Try watching a funny TV show or hanging out with friends who make you laugh.
4. Move your body daily! There isn’t anything exercising isn’t good for in your life. It supports your physical and mental health in massive, massive ways. Make sure to get your blood pumping for a clearer mind, a rock-solid immune system, and see those results in your every day life.
5. Reduce caffeine intake. Caffeine is a stimulant found in coffee, tea, chocolate and energy drinks. High doses
can increase anxiety. People have different thresholds for how much caffeine they can tolerate. If you notice
that caffeine makes you jittery or anxious, consider cutting back. Need an all natural energy boost? Try inhaling peppermint or diffusing citrus oils.
6. Practice Mindfulness. Mindfulness describes practices that anchor you to the present moment.
it can help combat the anxiety-inducing effects of negative thinking. A recent study in college students suggested that mindfulness may help increase self-esteem, which in turn lessens symptoms of anxiety and depression.
7. Get enough quality sleep! The amount of sleep you get is just as important as your diet and exercise. Poor sleep can decrease your self-control and decision-making abilities and can even increase the brain’s reaction to food. If you want to set yourself up for success, definitely put this on the top of your priority list.
8. Diffuse! Essential oils can help with mood management, from easing anxious feelings, promoting feelings of motivation, to uplifting your mood when you start the day or need that mid-day pick-me-up! I love diffusing Peppermint and Wild Orange to start the day, and Balance and Lavender together at night is incredibly calming.
There you have it!
