30 Days Of Wellness Challenge

30 Days Of Wellness Challenge

Mindfulness is tricky during the holidays. You spend so much time thinking — planning travel, buying gifts, making list after list, and checking them twice — that it’s easy not to think about yourself! Even if you want to become a more mindful, serene person during the most chaotic time of the year, it’s hard to know where to begin.


We’re here to help. Start the new year strong with our 30-Day Wellness Challenge, filled with simple, mindful changes you can make to your day for a more present lifestyle.

Take whatever you need from this challenge, go at your own pace, and remember that everyone is different. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by a wellness challenge, stop and come back when you’re ready. And whenever you’re craving a reset, come back to this list for inspiration to get your focus back on mental health.
