Wellness Without the Woo: 7 Habits for Leaders Who Hate Self-Care Talk

If I say “self-care,” do you picture pastel bath bombs, scented candles, and someone telling you to “just relax”? Yeah, me too.

That’s why I don’t talk about self-care. I talk about performance insurance. Wellness without the woo.

7 Habits:

1. The Wake-Up Water: Start with 500ml before coffee.

2. Desk Break Micro-Stretches: 3 mins, every 90 mins.

3. Device Curfew: Phone down 1 hour before bed.

4. Protein-First Breakfast: Kill the crash before it starts.

5. Standing Meetings: Keeps energy and focus high.

6. Hydration in View: Keep a bottle in every meeting room.

7. Scheduled Breathwork: 4-6 breathing pattern before big decisions.

You don’t need a juice cleanse or a Himalayan retreat (although, let's face it, that would be amazing!). You need a handful of high-return habits done every day.

That’s more than self-care. That’s self-respect.

Which of these will you start tomorrow morning? Reply—I read every one.
