As we kick off a brand-new year, Glowshroom Apothecary is feeling an extra dose of gratitude. This January marks our one-year anniversary, and we couldn’t be more thankful for the incredible community that has supported us on this journey. Your love for our products, your glowing reviews, and your unwavering belief in clean, effective skincare have been the driving force behind everything we do. Here's to YOU for being part of our story!
The start of a new year often comes with a burst of motivation to improve our lives, especially when it comes to health. From "Dry January" to gym memberships gifted by Santa, we often dive into the deep end, adopting an "all-or-nothing" mindset. While enthusiasm is great, setting overly ambitious goals can lead to burnout and frustration.
So how can we reframe this? Start small. Tiny, intentional changes can lead to lasting success. Here are four simple, non-negotiable habits that have transformed my physical and mental well-being—and might just inspire your own wellness journey:
1. Hydrate First Thing in the Morning
Before coffee, tea, or breakfast, the first thing I do each day is drink water. It doesn’t have to be fancy—just plain, refreshing water to wake up your body. If I have time, I’ll add half a lemon and a pinch of pink Himalayan salt to a cup of warm water for an extra boost. I feel very fancy when I have time for the extras!
This simple habit:
- Jumpstarts hydration.
- Helps prevent brain fog and headaches.
- Gets the digestive system ready for the day.
The key is consistency. Starting the day with water primes me to stay hydrated, improving my energy and focus.
2. Morning Movement (Even If It’s Just 10 Minutes)
Life gets busy, but I make it a point to move my body every morning. Whether it’s stretching, yoga, a quick lift, or a short walk, I commit to at least 10 minutes. On good days, I’ll aim for 30–60 minutes because the benefits are undeniable:
- Wake up your body and mind.
- Build a positive connection with your physical self.
- Set the tone for treating your body with kindness and respect all day.
Even 10 minutes can make a difference! Over time, you’ll find yourself craving more movement—it’s a habit that naturally grows. 10 Minutes are always better than zero minutes!
3. Prioritize Supplements for Daily Wellness
I never skip my morning supplements. My go-to products are Glowshroom Apothecary’s Myco Mind & Body Mushroom Gummies for gut health and energy and the Nanosized Liquid Biotin & Collagen for hair, skin, and nails.
Pairing these with my first glass of water sets the stage for a great day:
- My energy and mental clarity improved.
- My gut health gets the support it needs.
- I start the day with an act of self-care that fuels my confidence.
4. Pack Healthy Food for the Day
To stay on track with my health goals, I prepare my meals and snacks ahead of time. This ensures I have nutrient-dense options, even during hectic workdays. I don't have time for elaborate food prep, so I keep things really basic and simple to make sure this takes 5 minutes or less.
Why it works:
- Prevents impulse decisions (goodbye, vending machine snacks or ordering expensive over-rated lunches!).
- Maintains steady energy and focus (no hangry esthecians here!).
- It helps avoid late-night cravings for less nutritious foods.
By making thoughtful choices when I’m in a clear state of mind, I’m able to honor my body and keep my health goals in check.
The Power of Simplicity
These habits may seem small, but they’ve had a huge impact on my life. Most importantly, they’re sustainable. By focusing on consistency rather than perfection, I’ve been able to create a routine that supports my long-term physical and mental well-being.
