August is National Wellness Month!

While wellness should be celebrated all year long, it takes the spotlight during the month of August. National Wellness Month focuses on self-care, managing stress and creating healthy habits to support holistic wellness, both physically and mentally.

Incorporate these practices to promote wellness in your body and mind this month — and beyond!

Ways You Can Improve Overall Wellness:

  • Meditate for 10 minutes each morning
  • Take a yoga class
  • Make a conscious effort to drink more water (half your body weight in ounces per day)
  • Get at least 8 hours of sleep per night
  • Reduce alcohol intake
  • Spend time in nature
  • Incorporate more greens and whole foods into your diet
  • Avoid caffeine after noon
  • Get 30 minutes of exercise per day (walking counts!)
  • Incorporate occasional breaks during your work day
  • Sign up for a workout class
  • Repeat a positive mantra each day or list the things you’re grateful for
  • Avoid screens before bed

Cheers to a Happy, Healthy Month!
