By the time February arrives, the motivation that often comes with the start of a new year can start to fade, and that’s completely normal. Rather than aiming for big changes, this month is a great time to focus on small, steady habits that support your overall wellbeing.
One helpful approach is habit stacking. this is where you link a new habit to something you already do each day. Simple examples include taking a few slow breaths while waiting for the kettle to boil, balance exercises while brushing your teeth, stretching in the shower or stepping outside for fresh air after school drop-off. These small moments can help support a sense of calm and balance in the nervous system throughout the day.
Consistency matters more than perfection. Gentle routines such as daily movement, moments of pause, or regular check-ins with your health can help your body feel supported rather than overwhelmed.
If January felt busy or unstructured, February is a chance to reset in a way that’s realistic, kind, and sustainable.
