Wellness That Works: With Cheryl Conklin (Part 4)

Wellness and longevity walk hand-in-hand.

In the chaos of day to day life, people often seek a magical, quick-fix to achieve their health goals.

We get roped into a negative thought loop—that because the seeds we plant today do not immediately sprout, we just might not be cut out for this whole wellness thing.

This is one of the biggest lies that we have been conditioned to believe. 

Here are a couple powerful tactics to combat this cycle that impedes your growth:

Have a “Why” That Isn’t Just About How You Look

There’s nothing wrong with wanting to feel confident in your skin, but aesthetic goals will only take you so far. Dig deeper into why you’re chasing wellness in the first place. Maybe it’s about staying sharp for your kids, having the stamina to travel, or finally being able to sleep through the night. When your reason for showing up is rooted in how you want to feel—not just how you want to look—it’s easier to stay aligned when no one’s watching.

Learn to Pivot Instead of Quit

Life throws curveballs. The gym might close, your schedule might change, or maybe you just burn out on the routine you’ve been using. That’s normal. Instead of quitting altogether, give yourself permission to adapt. Maybe your long workouts become quick bodyweight sessions at home. Maybe you switch meditation for journaling. Being consistent doesn’t mean doing the same thing forever—it means staying in motion, even if you change course.

The truth about self-care and wellness is that it’s not one big, dramatic overhaul—it’s a quiet, daily decision. To stretch, to eat something nourishing, to go to bed a little earlier, to take a breath before reacting. None of it has to be perfect. But when you start honoring those small moments, you begin to build a life that doesn’t need an escape. This isn’t about chasing a new version of you. It’s about returning to yourself—over and over again.
