The Ultimate Guide To Beginning A Wellness Journey
I know there’s plenty of people that are taking care of their wellness due to the uncertainty in the world, especially African Americans. If you look on social media, many influencers (including me) are using our platform to influence and educate the power of wellness. If you didn’t know, wellness is the state of being in good health. When you’re on a wellness journey, you are actively pursuing and paying attention to your health.
The key element in a wellness journey is your mindset. If you train your mind, the rest will align (hey that rhymed). Think of your mind as the captain of your ship. Your heart, appetite, finances, spirituality and sexuality are your crewmen and they must listen to the captain.
This is why affirmations are so important when it comes to training and shifting your mind. Affirmations are verbal commands delivered by the captain to the crewmen. Your affirmation could be “I surround myself only with objects and people that cater to my wellness.” When the captain says this, the crew is like “ok cool, we got you! We’re not going to be around negative people, we are only going to crave for food that is healthy, we’re not going to waste money on nonsense, and we’re going to ask God for discernment.” It’s all about teamwork.
Before sending you anything, God and the universe pay attention to how you treat yourself before they decide to reward you, it’s that simple. Ever since I began my wellness journey, I started attracting abundance. I began getting offered opportunities, received sponsorships, and now my bank account has seen more money than it has in years (even with a job-for those who don’t know, I got laid off due to the coronavirus). But how was I able to do this? With these easy steps:
1. Get a journal-write in your journal every day. It could be a list of manifestations or even a record of how your day went. When you choose to manifest in your journal, you’re making it known to the universe what exactly it is that you want. When you choose to write about your day, you’re able to keep track of how you are making progress in your journey. It holds you accountable.
2. Claim affirmations daily-You’ll want to claim at least 7 affirmations daily to ensure your “crewmen” know exactly what to do for the day. You’re basically setting the record straight and this creates tunnel vision for you (plus your level of discernment sharpens).
3. Set a schedule-if you have been working from home, your schedule can get out of control since you’re in your comfort zone. Do yourself a favor and map out your day and stick to it. Most importantly, don’t forget to schedule at least an hour for self-care.
4. Write a budget-when you create a weekly budget, this helps you maintain your finances. Doing this creates a mindset of investing and not spending. Besides, it will be difficult to focus on wellness when you can’t even afford wellness products and services.
5. Invest in wellness products-wellness products are essential, they help navigate your wellness journey only if you have the right commodities.
My top wellness products are:
1. My air diffuser. Air diffusers create a spa-like space right from home and this allows me to really feel at ease when writing in my journal. I highly recommend purchasing a diffuser from Vitruvi. Their essential oils create the perfect mediation vibe and all the diffusers are made up of stone so it doubles as a luxury home décor essential.

2. My Super Greens tea packets. These tea packets are everything because when I’m fasting or just on the go, and don’t have time to cook veggies, these little packets give me just what I need (they’re made up of mushrooms, algae, herbs and veggies but its berry flavored), plus they curb my appetite, burn fat and increase my metabolism which to me, sounds like wellness in a bottle. You can check them out here, the’yre having a huge sale for new customers looking for top quality weight loss products.
3. Lastly, my plant-based skin products. During covid19, I was stressed out and I was using products that broke me out badly (my skin felt like sand paper). It wasn’t until a friend introduced me to this amazing esthetician (who has been in service since the 1980s and works with celebs including Cee Lo Green, Monica, Mo’nique, Big Boi, etc.). She sells plant based natural skin care products. Her top seller which I absolutely love, is the Brown Bottle Blend which is an organic blend of 12 essential oils to help uneven skin tone and dry skin. This product works wonders and you can purchase here.
I hope this helps you begin and sustain your wellness journey. God and the universe are counting on you to make them proud so they can send you everything you dream of. The only way to do this is by taking care of you!
