Wellness is all about feeling good. It’s about being healthy and happy in your mind and body. Of course, that can mean different things for different people. One person’s wellness journey might be about conquering a fear, whereas another's might be about getting to a healthy weight. Whatever your wellness goals are, this list will help you finally reach them.

1. Write Down Your Goals

You must identify your goals if you want to reach them. So, before anything else, find an old notebook or open your notes app and write down what you want to achieve. The goals should all align in terms of boosting your health and wellness. We love a good old-fashioned paper planner (we are old school like that). FTW Founder, CPT Lincoln uses the Panda Planner every day!

2. Improve Your Skincare Routine

When you look good, you feel good; when you feel good, you are more motivated to reach your goals. A good skincare routine will both improve your skin’s health and make you look beautiful and glowing. Be sure to include a high-quality cleanser, toner, eye cream, moisturizer, and SPF in your routine. There are treatments that will boost your skin’s appearance, too. Going to a Los Angeles fillers clinic like Your Laser Skin Care is the perfect way to rejuvenate your youth, helping you achieve fullness and volume in your face. If you are not in the LA area and you need to have an awesome skincare line that is clean and great for all skin types. FTW Founder CPT Lincoln is OBSESSED with the new Lovely Lavander Face and Body Oil by Coba! (P.s. She even uses it as her deodorant! Sorry, not sorry!)

3. Get Plenty of Good Sleep

It’s hard to feel motivated when tired and groggy. Getting a better night’s sleep might be part of your wellness goals, but even if it’s not, you should aim to get a good seven to nine hours of sleep each night. Make it good sleep, too – that means creating a sleep environment that promotes a full night of rest.

4. Use Apps to Keep You Accountable

Mobile apps can help you in many ways, one of which is aiding your wellness journey. There are apps to track calories, workouts, meditation – pretty much anything. Consider what your goals are, and then look out for apps that will help you reach them more easily.

5. Start Meditating

To boost your energy levels and reduce stress, try meditation. Its benefits will take your wellness journey to the next level, allowing you to get in tune with your body and mind. Don’t worry – with so much information, guides, and videos online, getting started with meditation has never been easier. Did you know that Fire Team Whiskey has several videos on this topic on YouTube channel? We posted one here, but go on over and just search our channel for “meditation” and you can check out all of our videos on the topic. Basically, meditation is breathwork, so if you find that you have trouble developing a practice of meditation, but really want to see the benefits, we recommend that you hire a professional like our friend Ardra Jones who is a Certified Breathwork Professional. She can do video sessions with you and guide you through this practice until you can master it for yourself!

6. Bookmark Healthy and Delicious Recipes

Good, healthy food and wellness go hand in hand. Don’t opt for foods you find boring, though. You’ll be pleased to know that you can enjoy delicious food while giving your body all the best nutrients, healthy fats, antioxidants, and proteins. Look for colorful and healthy recipes that incorporate your favorite foods, and bookmark them for your next meal. And of course, Fire Team Whiskey has lots of amazing, healthy recipes on our Warrior Fuel Recipe page!
