As we step into March, the first signs of spring begin to emerge. Daffodils push through the soil, daylight lingers a little longer each evening, and there’s a subtle shift in the air—a promise of renewal. Yet for many of us, those January wellness intentions have become distant memories, filed away under “life got busy.”
If you began 2025 with dreams of a consistent yoga practice, mindful mornings, or better self-care routines, only to find yourself now caught in the familiar whirlwind of work deadlines, family responsibilities, and everyday demands—know that you’re not alone.
The Reality of Wellness Intentions
Research consistently shows that by March, nearly 80% of New Year’s resolutions have fallen by the wayside. This isn’t a reflection of our commitment or willpower, but rather a natural consequence of trying to overhaul our routines without accounting for the reality of our lives.
The good news? March offers the perfect opportunity for a gentle reset—a chance to reconnect with your wellness goals in a way that actually works with your life, not against it.
5 Practical Ways to Reset Your Wellness Journey This Month
1. Start with honest reflection, not self-criticism
Before diving back into wellness practices, take a moment to reflect on what derailed your initial intentions. Was your goal too ambitious? Did you lack proper support? Was your schedule simply too full? Understanding these factors helps you create a more sustainable approach moving forward.
Try this: Write down three specific obstacles that affected your wellness routine. For each obstacle, note one small adjustment that might help you navigate it better.
2. Embrace the power of ‘micro-practices’
When life is full, the idea of finding an hour for yoga or meditation can feel impossible. Instead, focus on what I call ‘micro-practices’—brief moments of mindfulness and movement that can be woven into your existing routine.
Try this: Identify three natural transition points in your day (perhaps between waking and breakfast, before lunch, or after work). Dedicate just 2-3 minutes at each transition for a simple practice: three conscious breaths, a gentle stretch, or a moment of gratitude.
3. Lower the barrier to entry
Make it ridiculously easy to begin. Instead of aiming for a 60-minute yoga session, commit to simply unrolling your mat and sitting on it for one minute. Often, the hardest part is beginning—once you’re there, you might naturally extend your practice.
Try this: Place visual cues in your environment that make wellness practices more accessible. Keep a yoga mat unrolled in a visible spot, leave a meditation cushion in your favourite chair, or set a glass of water by your bed each night.
4. Find your ‘why’ beyond the physical benefits
When we connect our wellness practices to deeper values, we’re more likely to prioritise them. Perhaps yoga isn’t just about flexibility, but about creating mental space to be more present with your children. Maybe meditation isn’t just about stress reduction, but about cultivating the patience you value in your relationships.
Try this: Complete this sentence: “I want to reconnect with my wellness practice because it helps me become more ____________ in my life.”
5. Create gentle accountability
Accountability doesn’t have to mean public declarations or rigid tracking. Sometimes the gentlest forms are the most effective. This might involve texting a friend after your practice, journaling briefly about how you feel after moving your body, or simply placing a small mark on your calendar.
Try this: Choose an accountability method that feels supportive rather than pressuring. The goal is encouragement, not obligation.
Introducing: A Different Approach to Resetting
As someone who has worked with hundreds of people navigating their wellness journeys, I’ve seen firsthand how the right structure can make all the difference between frustration and sustainable practice.
This is why I’ve created the 30-Day Whole Body Reset—a programme specifically designed for busy people who want to reconnect with their wellness practice in a way that actually fits into real life.
The premise is simple but powerful: just 10 minutes of daily yoga practice, thoughtfully designed to combine movement, strength, flexibility, and mindfulness elements. These brief daily sessions create a gentle bridge back to your practice without overwhelming your schedule.
What makes this approach different from typical programmes is its emphasis on sustainability and integration with your existing routine. These aren’t isolated exercise sessions—they’re bridges to greater bodily awareness throughout your day.
With three months of access, you’ll have plenty of time to revisit practices and find your own rhythm as the seasons change.
A Gentle Invitation
As the days grow longer and nature begins its own renewal cycle, perhaps this is the perfect moment to reconnect with your own wellbeing journey—not through dramatic changes or impossible commitments, but through gentle, consistent attention.
Whether you choose to follow the tips above, join the 30-Day Reset, or find your own path back to wellness, remember that each small step creates momentum. The journey doesn’t need to be perfect or linear—it simply needs to begin again.
If the 30-Day Reset feels like it might support your journey at this time, I’d be honoured to welcome you. If you’d like to learn more, you can find all the details here.
Wishing you well as you move through March and into spring,
