She grew up spilling tears, fears, and new feelings into her diary with a feverish intensity as if the emotions didn’t come out of her and through to the paper with the tip of a pen, she would collapse within herself.  The ways she healed and the ways she coped may not have been the healthiest, but she was trying, and with the effort she survived.

Well-being and the search for a lifestyle with a better sense of wellness, both mentally and physically,  grows and changes with us.  Our needs and wants entangle with each other which drives us to seek out experiences that give hope to heal, center, and balance us. 

5 trending ideas for well-being in no particular order

The top 5 trending practice for well-being are ideas that can be done alone or with the company of trusted loved ones. Either way, the activities can bring a lightness from stress and encourage us to live the life we seek. All ideas are to encourage calming practices that ignite our senses and bring joy.

Renewal Baths:  Soaking in the tub is a well known and frequently used practice to destress and physically put ourselves in a space where our body is immersed in an alternate environment where we don’t spend the majority of our daily time.  Renewal baths take the idea to a higher level by playing with temperature and mineral infused waters.  Soak your mind and body in heat or cold, or both.  Renewal baths are believed to increase blood flow, rejuvenate skin cells, and help muscles recover.  Leoluna was recently recommended to Asha Urban Baths (not an affiliate link) and looks forward to the experience.  Look out for an update post here and on our IG @leolunalife 

Sound Hammock Healing:  Sound Hammock Healing connects our being and body to our first feelings of comfort and closure like in the womb.  Most often found available in group sessions and sometimes proceeds an aerial yoga session, Sound Hammock Healing is a meditative experience where you enclose yourself in soft suspended fabric while immersed with a sound bath.    

Social Strolling:  Walking with your best girlfriend, social strolling is a hybrid between jogging and hiking.  Find a scenic route with pathways that mostly lead through nature and pick up some coffee (or favored beverage) beforehand.  Pay no attention to time, or mileage or even calories burned and enjoy each other’s company and conversation.  Read What Is Social Strolling And Why It Is A Must In Any Season?  for additional details and Leoluna verified social strolling spots.  

Head Spa: The most ignored part of our head is the scalp.  We have spent countless hours focusing on the daily, even hourly, upkeep and primping of our faces, yet our scalp is roughly and quickly scrubbed in the shower, then forgotten.  Think of a head spa being like a facial for your scalp.  A common treatment in Japan, this well-being practice brings the benefits of massage to the most needed area of our body.

Mindfulness Journaling:  Writing things down makes them real.  We make lists, create plans, and process feelings by writing and Mindfulness Journaling harnesses the practice while focusing on building awareness around specific moments and ideas that have a need for focus.  Just by googling “mindfulness journaling” a laundry list of templates, journals, and worksheets populated to guide anyone at any level to take on the practice and integrate mindfulness as a well-being practice into a lifestyle.

• Dark Retreats: In essence, dark retreats are exactly what they describe themselves as, a multi day retreat existing in complete darkness.  Leading with the idea that participation will surface a profound sense of transformation and practices dating back to Ancient Egypt, dark retreats claim to improve sleep, the nervous system, and decrease stress.  If interested, Leoluna plans to explore the experience at Sky Cave Retreats (not an affiliate link).
