Planning An At-Home Wellness Retreat

Many of us have put traveling on hold, but our stress levels tell us we need to get away more than ever. If you can’t take a trip to a spa or distant beach to unwind, you can create a mini wellness retreat at home!

Start by taking inventory of what you need to make yourself feel more at peace. Make a list of the things you’d like to do for yourself and give yourself the gift to do those things.

Just like a retreat, give yourself an agenda. Schedule your activities, healthy meals and downtime.

Plan your meals ahead of time. Treat yourself to healthy meals throughout your ‘retreat’. Be sure to include plenty of water with cucumber, lemon and mint!

Schedule energizing and relaxing activities. Work up a sweat with a yoga class/video or try your hand at a new DIY home project. Then calm down with meditation, journaling, reading or an at-home facial mask.

Disconnect! No emails, no social media and ignore the TV for a few days. It will all be there when you ‘return’.
