My Favourite Habit Stacks for Health, Beauty & Calm
As a Face Yoga Coach and wellness expert, you might assume I spend hours each day in a spa-like self-care routine. But here’s the truth: I’m a 43-year-old mum running a busy business. Time is precious — and that’s why I rely on habit stacking to stay consistent with my health, beauty, and mindset rituals.
💡 What is Habit Stacking?
Habit stacking means pairing a new habit with an existing one — so you build wellness into your day without adding pressure. It’s how I stay aligned and energised, even on the busiest of days.

🌅 My Go-To Habit Stacks for Daily Wellness
These are some of the personal rituals that keep me grounded, glowing, and calm:

🧘‍♀️ Sun Salutations + Prayer (5–10 mins)
First thing in the morning, I move through gentle sun salutations — a beautiful way to open the body and mind. At the end of the sequence, I take a moment for prayer and gratitude.
💭 Physical movement + spiritual connection = aligned start to the day.

🚶‍♀️ Morning Walk + Grounding Sikh Podcast (15–30 mins)
During my walk, I listen to uplifting Sikh-rooted podcasts that reconnect me with my faith and values.
🎧 A walk for the body, a podcast for the soul.

🤸‍♀️ Body Stretches + Affirmations (3–5 mins)
As I stretch my arms, legs, and back in the morning, I speak or think affirmations like:
“I am strong. I am radiant. I am exactly where I need to be.”
This simple pairing wakes up both my body and my self-belief.

🧺 Laundry Time + Face Yoga (5 mins)
When I put on a load of washing or hang clothes out to dry, I use those moments to do simple Face Yoga exercises.
🌀 Boosts circulation, lifts the face — and gets the chores done too.

🚗💬 Drive to Gym + Skincare or Business Audiobook (20–30 mins)
While driving or working out, I tune into audiobooks that feed my mind — whether it’s about:
Holistic skincare
Spiritual growth
Business development
🧠💪 It’s my way of nourishing body and mind in one go.
