How I’m Staying Active, Energised & Feeling My Best This January (Plus My Favourite Wellness Essentials)

Adidas Top


Advertorial: Hello hello and welcome back! If you’ve ever felt like January is a bit of a reset button moment, you’re in the right place. I don’t know about you, but when the new year hits I always feel this surge of motivation and the best way for me to channel it is by prioritising wellbeing, movement and gentle routines that actually feel good

And let’s be honest, January can feel a bit grey and sluggish if you let it. So today I’m sharing my favourite ways to stay active, feel energised and find balance without pressure, without crazy goals, and with real-life habits you’ll want to keep. 💛

🌞 Start Your Day with a Mindful Morning Routine

My mornings set the tone and trust me, they’re not about crazy workouts before sunrise (unless that’s your vibe!). I love beginning with:

  • A light stretch or a slow 10-minute mobility flow

  • A walk outside with my favourite playlist.  A walk first thing is a non negotiable in my life, try it and you will never look back🎧

  • A cup of something warm while I breathe and plan my day

This kind of movement is gentle but grounding and it gives you clarity and energy without the burnout. 

Wellness tip: I’ve been loving how small, intentional movement first thing can actually make the rest of the day feel more productive (and kinder to my mood!).

🏃‍♀️ Find Joy in Everyday Movement

Not all activity needs to be a HIIT class or gym session and actually, the most sustainable routines are the ones that feel easy to repeat.  I recently had a sporting injury and in someways it has helped me because I now understand the benefit of slow exercise.

Here are a few things I’m loving right now:

  • A brisk lunchtime walk

  • Light yoga or stretching while I catch up on podcasts

  • A stroll to the shops instead of driving

These little shifts make movement feel joyful rather than like a chore. You’ll move more, stress less, and often feel better all round

🍳 Healthy Everyday Habits to Keep You Feeling Good

Wellbeing isn’t just about movement,  it’s about habits that ease your whole rhythm. Here’s what’s been working for me:

🔹 Hydration First Thing

I always start with a big glass of water, sounds simple, but it helps with energy so much.  My next glass is then my sexy water loaded with all sorts of essential nutrients.

🔹 Nourishing Meals That Fuel the Day

I’ve been loving greek yogurt, berries and nuts or overnight oats for breakfast, something that’s quick, wholesome and keeps me going.  As an alternative I also love healthier pancakes (made with cottage cheese) and avocado on sourdough with jammy eggs and mixed nuts sprinkled on top.  

🔹 Early-ish Evenings

I try to wind down without screens close to bedtime, it does always work that way but when it does it works wonders for sleep quality!  I also practice meditation if I can't sleep and it's my new best friend.  It helps so much. 

Even these small choices add up to a healthier mindset and body balance without feeling restrictive.

💭 My Real-Talk Takeaway

January doesn’t have to be about extreme goals or resolutions that fizzle out by February. It is the perfect moment to reset, being realistic kind and enjoyable.  

Prioritise movement that feels natural, habits that make you feel good, and moments that help your mind and body find balance. That’s what wellbeing actually looks like, and it makes all the difference. 💛

Lots of love, Em x
