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.
