Easy wellness and health tips and tricks that will get you through a rough day. These are wellness hacks everyone should start practicing.
Hello, everyone! Today I wanted to give some health and wellness tips that will get you through your day. I don’t know about you, but the moment I wake up I know if it’s gonna be a good day or a rough day.
Sometimes rough days feel unbearable, so I always try my best to do some of these tips. They honestly help me get through my rough days, so I hope these can help you in any way possible.
Wellness Hacks For A Healthier Day
morning —
1. Drink A Glass of Cold Water
The first thing I do when I wake up is drink water. If you wake up feeling tired or sluggish you might be dehydrated. Try leaving a glass of water on your nightstand the night before, so you can drink it the next morning. It’s an easy wellness hack that saves my mornings.
2. Manifest One Thing for The Day.
Every morning, try setting an intention or manifest one thing for the day. It could be about your health, wellness, work, or personal life. Write it on a post-it so you can see it throughout the day. Setting an intention will help keep you focused on what you want or need to get done.
3. Brain Dump (helps with anxiety).
I know I always talk about doing a brain dump, but I swear it will help get all your scattered thoughts into one place. Take out a piece of paper or notes on your phone and start jotting down all your thoughts or worries. Then, start prioritizing those tasks and make a master to-do list. Seeing everything written out in one place will help with your anxiety so much!

4. Step Away From The Screen
It’s 2 o’clock and your eyes are red and dry from staring at a screen all day. Take a step away from the screen and go for a 10-minute walk. It’ll help your brain refocus and alert your body that it’s still time to work.
5. Make A Protein Smoothie
When you’re feeling tired or hungry, try making a protein smoothie. It will give you the necessary nutrients and protein you need to finish off the day.
My favorite protein smoothie includes:
• 1 small banana
• 1 tbsp almond butter
• 2 scoops of my favorite protein powder
• 1 cup of almond milk
• ice

6. Dim The Lights & Your Phone
A couple of hours before your bedtime set your phone to night shift, dark mode, and do not disturb (if your phone has those settings). Night shift will shift your phone’s light from blue light to yellow light, making it easier on your eyes so you can fall asleep faster. Dark mode makes your phone’s apps go from white to black. Do not disturb silences notifications.
If you don’t have one of these color-changing light bulbs already, then you should definitely get one. It allows you to control the color and brightness of the bulb. I always set mine to red at night, so I can fall asleep faster.
7. Reflect On Your Day
At the end of the day, write down some thoughts or reflections on your day. I feel like we are always thinking about the future and never about the present. Always take some time to reflect on the now and appreciate your day in the moment.

8. Talk To A Loved One
Talking to someone you trust and love can lift your mood and make you smile after a long day. Tell them you appreciate and love them. Ending the night with gratitude will help you feel calm and peaceful for the night ahead.
I hope you all are doing well and I hope these wellness hacks will help you during your day.

I’m a certified health coach and 1000% agree with your wellness hacks. I especially appreciate stepping away from your screen and getting outside for a walk. Fresh and sunshine do a body good ? Another thing to consider is getting more movement throughout your day, like more frequent movement breaks. Or trying a standing or walking desk. Stretching throughout the day. Anything to break up from sitting all day ?
So happy to hear this! I usually like to get a workout done in the evening, but it honestly helps so much with my sleeping schedule. Thanks for reading!

Very good tips! Brain dumping is soooo helpful!
I do it once a week and it keeps me focused and on track!

I think people underestimate the power of staying hydrated. Drinking water is so good for you, and most people don’t drink enough of it!
I honestly think people do not know how much water they should be drinking in a day. It’s a lot more than I was drinking before but it helps so much!

I’ve recently increased my water intake and it has made such a huge difference! These are wonderful tips 🙂
Love these tips – it’s so important to reset your body and mind – and these tips are perfect for that. Especially disconnecting from your electronics . Thanks for sharing xo
Some great ideas to get through rough days. Dimming the lights and your phone is such a good idea and sometimes so hard to follow through with. A protein smoothie is also another great idea for mid-day. Thanks for sharing!
These are such amazing reminders especially the one about drinking water and staying hydrated! It’s so important for us to practice self-care!
Love all of these tips! I do a lot of these already and they make such a difference!

I absolutely love how you broke this up throughout the day. What a beneficial article with so many helpful tips. I already try to practice most of these on a daily basis, but now I’ll just be incorporating the rest from here on out!
Great hacks for a better day! A brain dump is a must! An afternoon protein smoothie definitely gives you a quick boost!
Great, attainable and everyday tips! Taking more breaks from the screen as well as putting the phone down after 9pm (except for right now lol) helped me out tremendously. I’ve been sleeping better, my eyes are no longer red and strained, I have fewer headaches, and I’m more consistently motivated to get work done.
I love doing brain dumps. It helps me to organize myself and (hopefully) get my priorities straight. I also chat to my sister to help distract and take a break. Really great ideas.
Thank you for these tips! I struggle with anxiety, so I’m going to try the brain dump now.
Great tips! Sometimes we miss the small things. Thank you so much for sharing!
I loved these little hacks! They’re such great daily reminders for stressful days. Thank you for sharing!?
