How to Create a Weekly Wellness Plan You’ll Actually Stick To!

Have you ever kicked off a new year, a new month or even a random Monday with the intention of getting healthier? Maybe just add a healthy habit or two, and you do well for a while, then it all falls apart. Let's create a weekly wellness plan you'll actually stick to!

If you’re anything like me, that’s probably happened a TON of times. It’s not just you, I promise. There’s something about starting a habit – then actually sticking with it – that many of us struggle with.

You’re not alone!

Let’s create a plan you’ll actually stick to – and it won’t take up all your time either. Ain’t nobody got time for that! We’ll start off with a weekly wellness plan designed to fit your life. Every moment matters, so let’s dive in!

Why a Weekly Wellness Plan Works

Wellness isn’t about doing everything perfectly—it’s about small, sustainable habits that help you feel your best. A wellness plan gives you structure without the overwhelm, allowing you to focus on self-care, movement, nutrition, and mindfulness in a way that works for your lifestyle.

Step 1: Define Your Wellness Priorities

Before you create your plan, think about what wellness means to you. Are you focusing on:

• More movement & exercise?
• Better nutrition & hydration?
• Stress relief & self-care?
• A combination of everything?

Choose 2-3 main wellness priorities for the week so your plan stays focused and realistic. Start small and build in more healthy habits once you're ready. Starting with too many things can get overwhelming and you may stop before you really get started!

Step 2: Choose Small, Achievable Goals

Instead of setting vague goals like "eat healthier" or "exercise more," be specific and realistic:

✅ Drink 80 oz of water daily
✅ Walk for 20 minutes 3x this week
✅ Unplug from screens 30 minutes before bed
✅ Plan 3 home-cooked meals for the week

Small, manageable goals add up to big results over time!

Step 3: Build Your Weekly Wellness Plan

Use this simple formula:

Monday – Move: Get in some type of movement (walk, yoga, strength training).
Tuesday – Nourish: Focus on healthy, nutrient-dense meals.
Wednesday – Rest & Recharge: Prioritize sleep, self-care, or mindfulness.
Thursday – Hydrate & Refresh: Increase water intake and refresh your space.
Friday – Reflect & Plan: Check in on progress and plan for the next week.
Saturday – Fun & Social Wellness: Do something active or relaxing with loved ones.
Sunday – Prep & Reset: Meal prep, organize, and set intentions for the week.

Drop it all in to a simple and easy to use weekly wellness planner and you're ready to go!

Step 4: Stay Flexible & Adjust as Needed

No week is perfect! If something doesn’t go as planned, adjust and keep moving forward. Wellness is about progress, not perfection. Sometimes you will check off every single habit on the list. Sometimes you won't! That's ok - the main thing is to keep moving forward!

Before we go...

Just remember - your wellness routine should work for YOU. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to health and wellness. Start small, be consistent, and celebrate each step. By creating a weekly wellness plan, you’ll build habits that help you feel your best—without burnout!
