    Common Wellness Tips YOU should DO but most often DON'T

    In this solo episode with Shedrica, we’re talking about the common wellness tips we know can help us manage lupus, but many of us tend to skip. Whether it's journaling our thoughts and emotions, getting outdoors, eating clean, or sticking to routines, these tips may seem simple, but they’re powerful tools in taking control of our health. We’ll dive into how these wellness practices can impact our lupus journey and why it’s time to stop putting them off. Plus, I’m celebrating a personal milestone this week—16 years living with lupus. I’m sharing how I’m honoring my journey, the lessons I’ve learned along the way, and how embracing these wellness tips has played a role in my story. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: The benefits of journaling for mental clarity, emotional release, and tracking lupus symptoms. How spending time outdoors and soaking up nature can reduce stress and boost your mood. The power of eating clean and how cutting out meats has impacted my energy and overall health. Why planning and building routines is a game-changer for maintaining consistency and managing flare-ups. How incorporating these habits can shift your entire approach to wellness. My reflections on living with lupus for 16 years, and the importance of celebrating every victory—big or small. Journaling helps with emotional processing and self-reflection: Writing down thoughts and experiences gives you a clearer perspective on your health and can be therapeutic. Getting outside matters: Fresh air, sunshine, and even just a change of scenery can help decrease stress and improve mood. Eating clean is more than a trend: Ditching processed foods and meats has had a profound impact on both my lupus symptoms and overall energy levels. Routines keep you grounded: Having a daily plan in place helps conserve energy, stay organized, and prevent overwhelm during lupus flares. Celebrate your milestones: Living with lupus for 16 years has been a journey filled with ups and downs, but I’m celebrating how far I’ve come. It’s a reminder to pause, reflect, and honor yourself for the progress you’ve made. 💜 Lupie Gem: Sometimes, the simplest wellness tips are the ones we overlook, but they can have the biggest impact. Journaling, going outside, eating clean, and creating routines aren’t just ‘nice-to-haves’—they’re essential tools that can support your health journey. And don’t forget to celebrate your milestones—each year, each day, is a victory. Connect with Me: Did any of these tips resonate with you?
