A Lazy Person's Guide to Natural Wellness: 8 Simple Tips for Optimal Health
In today's busy world, it can be challenging to maintain a healthy lifestyle. However, it's essential to prioritize wellness to keep ourselves fit and healthy. Natural wellness is the key to a healthy lifestyle, but it can seem like a lot of work. That’s why I am presenting a lazy person's guide to natural wellness that will help you adopt a healthy lifestyle with minimal effort.
1. Prioritize Sleep:
Getting enough sleep is essential for our health and well-being. Lack of restful sleep can throw off your circadian rhythm, affect your hormones, and even lead to chronic diseases. Getting at least 7-8 hours of sleep each night can help you feel refreshed and energetic throughout the day.
Diffuse Young Living's Lavender essential oil in your bedroom to promote relaxation and restful sleep.
2. Stay Hydrated:
Water is essential for our body, and staying well hydrated is crucial for overall health and wellness. Dehydration can lead to headaches, fatigue, and even digestive issues. Drinking at least eight glasses of water a day can help you stay hydrated and maintain optimal health.
Add a drop of Young Living's Lemon Vitality essential oil to your water for a refreshing and flavorful way to stay hydrated.
3. Eat Nutritious Food:
Eating a nutrient-dense diet is essential for natural wellness. A healthy diet includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. It can be challenging to stick with healthy eating habits, but making small changes to your diet can yield significant results.
Incorporate Young Living's NingXia Red into your daily routine for a nutrient-dense drink rich in antioxidants and essential nutrients.
4. Move More:
Exercising, even for a few minutes each day, can yield a significant impact on your overall health. Try incorporating some form of movement into your daily routine. This can be anything from a short walk to taking the stairs instead of the elevator.
Apply a few drops of Young Living's Peppermint essential oil to your temples or bottoms of your feet before exercising to promote a cool and invigorating sensation.
5. Practice Stress-Relieving Techniques:
Stress is a significant contributor to chronic illness. Finding ways to manage stress is crucial for natural wellness. Meditation, deep breathing, and yoga are just a few activities that can provide stress relief.
Diffuse Young Living's Stress Away essential oil blend to promote relaxation and reduce feelings of stress and anxiety.
6. Use Natural Products:
Natural products can help you maintain a healthy lifestyle and protect the environment. Young Living offers a wide range of natural wellness products, from essential oils to supplements, that can be easily incorporated into your daily routine.
Replace harsh cleaning chemicals with Young Living's Thieves Household Cleaner, a plant-based, toxin-free cleaning solution.
7. Get Enough Sunlight:
Sunlight is essential for maintaining healthy levels of vitamin D. Getting outside for at least 10-15 minutes each day can help you maintain optimal health. Just be sure to wear sunscreen and protect yourself from too much sun exposure.
Protect and nourish your skin with Young Living's Mineral Sunscreen Lotion, which utilizes non-nano zinc oxide as a physical barrier against harmful UV rays.
8. Practice Gratitude:
Finally, practicing gratitude is an essential component of natural wellness. Focusing on the positive aspects of life can help reduce stress, promote positive relationships, and increase our overall sense of well-being.
Incorporate the uplifting scent of Young Living's Joy essential oil blend into your daily routine as a reminder to focus on the positive aspects of life and practice gratitude.
Adopting natural wellness habits doesn't have to be hard work. Making small changes to your daily routine can help you maintain optimal health without feeling overwhelmed. Prioritizing sleep, staying hydrated, eating a nutritious diet, moving more, practicing stress-relieving techniques, using natural products, getting enough sunlight, and practicing gratitude are all easy ways to achieve natural wellness. Young Living essential oils and products can help you maintain optimal health and well-being while living a busy lifestyle. Start today, and you'll see a significant impact on your overall health and wellness.

Have a question or something to share?
✨ My blog exists because I know what it feels like to keep everything jumbled in your head — like a messy pile of clothes you can’t sort through.
Writing it all down brings clarity, calm, and sometimes even healing answers I didn’t know I was looking for.
Honestly, that’s why I keep showing up to write — it helps me make sense of things.
Even if you have no intentions of ever publishing your work, I highly recommend writing stuff down. It doesn't have to be a literary masterpiece or even full, grammatically correct sentences... just dump those random thoughts onto paper... you'll see what I mean.
*This blog centers the GenX experience, simply because that’s the lens I live through—but anyone looking for connection, natural wellness, grief support, or a little real-talk in this messy stage of life is more than welcome.
