Build a Wellness Routine with Habit Stacking (One Step at a Time)

Creating a wellness routine doesn’t have to mean overhauling your life. In fact, small, intentional changes—when done consistently—can have a big impact. One of the easiest ways to build healthy habits is through habit stacking: pairing a new habit with something you already do.

Here’s a simple weekly approach to help you build a sustainable routine—adding one small habit at a time:

Week 1: Fresh Air & Sunlight
After your morning coffee or tea, step outside for just one minute. Feel the fresh air and soak in a bit of sunlight. This small act helps wake up your body and boost your mood.

Week 2: Hydrate
Take your water bottle with you as you step outside and drink a few sips while enjoying the fresh air. Hydrating first thing in the morning supports your energy levels and helps you stay focused throughout the day.

Week 3: Morning Movement
Incorporate a simple movement routine into your morning. Whether it’s a quick walk, a few gentle stretches, or some yoga poses, getting your body moving wakes up your muscles and sets a positive tone for the day.

Week 4: Intentional Breath & Movement
Before bed, combine two calming practices: 3-5 slow, deep breaths followed by a gentle stretch or light yoga. Pair this with a wind-down activity like brushing your teeth or changing into pajamas.

Week 5: Pura Aura Aromatherapy Pillow
To complete your bedtime routine, try the Pura Aura aromatherapy pillow. Place it on your pillow at night, allowing its soothing scent to help signal your body that it’s time to unwind and rest.

By stacking these small, manageable habits one by one, you’re slowly building a mindful wellness routine that supports both your body and mind. Start small, stay consistent, and let each week’s habit build on the last.
