Five Simple Steps to Reset Your Health This Week
A gentle reset, not a fresh start
This is not about rules or restriction.
It is about bringing a little consciousness back online. When structure drops away, habits become unconscious. We snack without hunger. We scroll instead of resting. We sit when we could move. None of this is a failure. It is human. But awareness changes everything. A small shift now sets a foundation that January can build on.
Looking ahead
What you practise this week will shape how January feels. Not through pressure, but through momentum. I am really looking forward to being back teaching from January 5th, and to supporting you through the LUMEN app with practices that meet you where you are, both live and recorded.
Let this week be conscious.
Five Simple Steps to Reset Your Health This Week
This week is not about reinvention. It is about organisation, intention, and momentum. What you practise now sets the tone for January. Keep it simple, keep it achievable, and let confidence build naturally.
1. Set realistic movement goals for this week
Forget long term plans for a moment. Just look at the next seven days.
Ask yourself one question,
Which days can I realistically move my body?
That might be two days. It might be four. Write them down.
Then make it real:
Book a class
Arrange a walk with a friend
Use the LUMEN app for a short gym or yoga session
Put these commitments in your diary like you would any other appointment. Movement that is scheduled is far more likely to happen. The goal is not intensity. The goal is follow through.
2. Restart your vitamins as a daily signal
This one is more psychological than physiological. Vitamins will not change how you feel overnight. But they do act as a powerful signal of intention. Taking your supplements first thing in the morning is a simple action that says,
“I am valuing my health today.”
That matters. It anchors your day in care rather than reaction. Small rituals build identity, and identity drives behaviour.
3. Invest in something that helps you show up
After running yoga studios for over 14 years, I have seen this again and again. When classes were free, people booked and often did not show. As soon as there was a small fee, attendance improved dramatically. Investment creates commitment. The same applies to what you wear. You do not need to spend a fortune. There are good quality training clothes at every price point. If you are committing to yoga, invest in a good sticky mat. If you want recommendations, just ask. If your focus is gym work or mixed training, buy a new top, tights, shorts, or bottoms. Turning up in something new genuinely helps. It adds confidence, energy, and a sense of intention. A little va va voom goes a long way.
4. Prep food with abundance in mind
Focus on what you can eat.
Think colour. Think nourishment. Think meals that make you feel steady rather than heavy.
Vegetables in abundance
Fruits you enjoy
Fish or lean meats if you eat them
Simple meals made from recognisable ingredients
5. Choose one simple goal for January
Just one.
Mine is this:
Practise something daily for 30 minutes.
I have made space in my diary and scheduled the exact practices. Now my only job is to show up. Some days that looks like running alongside Eli while they cycle after school. Other days it is a gym session or a yoga class I have already booked. I am not committing to more than 45 minutes. That boundary matters.
For you, it might be 30 minutes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Or two longer sessions each week. The key is that the goal feels slightly challenging, but absolutely achievable.
That is where confidence grows. You do not need perfection. You need intention, structure, and a little momentum. Tune in. Commit to yourself. And if you need ideas, clarity, or support, you can always reach out to me by email.
Let’s go.
Let it be the beginning of your 2026.
Love always,
Stuart
