Our Zesty Resources

What’s the one thing you need to keep doing—for your energy and wellbeing?

Today is a special day—it’s the last day of our 21-day mindfulness challenge. As those daily emails come to an end, I want you to pause and really sit with one simple but powerful question: 

  • What is the one thing you need to keep doing, moving forward, that is good for you—your energy and your wellbeing? 

That question is what sparked this week’s blog. 

If I could wave a magic wand… 

If I could wave a magic wand and give you one thing back in your life that truly nourishes you, what would it be? 

  • What’s something you’ve dropped from your habits that you know you need to bring back? 
  • What did you used to do that made you feel more like yourself—calmer, stronger, more grounded, more joyful? 

Maybe it’s: 

  • A regular walk in nature 
  • Stretching before bed 
  • Cooking real food instead of grabbing whatever’s easiest 
  • Saying no to one extra shift 
  • Going to the gym 
  • Journaling for five minutes in the morning 
  • Calling that friend who always leaves you feeling lighter 
  • Whatever it is—let it come to the surface. Don’t rush it. Sit with yourself and listen. 

 

Don’t just think it—schedule it 

Once you’ve named that one thing, I want you to move from reflection into action. 

Ask yourself: 

  • What day will I put it back into my life this week? 
  • When will I do it next week? 
  • And the week after that—and so on? 

Then: 

  • Write it down. 
  • Add it to your online calendar. 
  • Do it now, while it’s top of mind. 

 Treat it like any other important commitment—because it is. Your energy and wellbeing are not “nice-to-haves”; they’re the foundation that everything else stands on. 

 

Push yourself—because no one else can do this part for you 

Here’s the BRUTAL truth: no one is coming to rescue your wellbeing. 

People can encourage you, inspire you, and walk alongside you—but only you can decide to put that one thing back into your life and protect it. 

So: 

  • Push yourself gently, but firmly. 
  • Hold yourself accountable with compassion, not criticism. 
  • Remember: you are worth the effort. 

 

As we close out the 21-day mindfulness challenge, let this be your bridge from “challenge mode” to “real life mode”: 

Choose one thing that is good for you—your energy and your wellbeing—and commit to keeping it alive.

Finding Flow in the Middle of a Challenge

Yesterday I completed another 10km run on the Gold Coast. I’m proud of that — but what stayed with me wasn’t the distance or the pace. It was something quieter, something steadier, something that surprised me in the best way. Running alongside hundreds of other...

Celebrating the Goodness of Your Everyday

Over the last few weeks, the country has been buzzing with football finals. Huge celebrations, streets filled with colour, people cheering for days. It’s joyful, it’s loud, and it’s fun. There’s something wonderful about watching people celebrate the big wins.  But it...

Permission to Take a Break Granted

As this week begins, I want to share something personal — not as a boast, not as a “look at me,” but as a gentle example of what wellbeing looks like in practice.  I’m taking a few days off.  Not the kind of break where you cram in activities, rush from place to...

Emotional Loads and the Weight We Carry

Yesterday’s Day 13 focus on emotional load clearly struck a chord. A few participants reached out to share how deeply the message resonated — not because the idea was new, but because it finally named something they’ve been quietly carrying for years.  Their stories...

The Quiet Power of Being Inspired by Good People

Some weekends leave a mark — not because they were busy or glamorous, but because you spent time with people who remind you what genuine purpose looks like. People who care deeply about their work. People who show up with kindness as their baseline. People who move...

The Two Sides of Change

Good morning everyone —Happy Monday! Over the weekend, I found myself laughing at my own brain. I headed out for a 7km run as part of my preparation for my upcoming 10km goal in October, and honestly… it felt like the two sides of my mind were having a full‑blown...

Ready for a Shift

I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for a shift. The days are stretching longer, the air feels lighter, and I can sense myself emerging from winter hibernation. There’s something about this time of year that invites movement — a gentle nudge to get going again. To...
