Starting a new wellness routine often feels easy. You decide that Monday is going to be different. You are going to exercise every day, drink more water, eat perfectly, go to bed early, meditate, stretch, reduce screen time and somehow become an entirely new person before Friday. Then real life happens. Work gets busy. You…
