1. Slowcations and Staycations

Why spend heaps of money, time, and energy visiting faraway places when you can just go on a "slowcation" or staycation at home? The whole point of staying home is to catch up on sleep, save some money, and reserve energy for the fast-paced world we live in.

2. Skincare

Thanks to boosting the skin's appearance and even improving mental well-being, skincare routines have exploded in popularity in recent years.

3. Stay Sober

Alcohol consumption has experienced a bit of a dent, thanks to Gen Z's that are choosing to stay sober. This shouldn't be too difficult, considering many establishments are incorporating alcohol-free beers and drinks, such as mocktails, on their menus.

4. Cutting Back on Caffeine

Calling all caffeine addicts! As the world becomes more health conscious, more people are choosing to reduce their overall caffeine consumption (coffee addicts, we see you)! Thanks to healthier options such as matcha and chicory root, it's rather easy to reduce one's coffee consumption in order to reduce caffeine intake.

5. Balanced Diets

Processed foods were all the rage in the second part of the 20th century, but thanks to a more health-conscious world, more folks are choosing to opt for more balanced diets, which are composed of more fresh and whole foods.

6. Staying Hydrated

Many people choose to stay hydrated by consuming the right amount of fluids every day. Dehydration is no joke and leads to muscle cramps, dry skin, headaches, and even serious conditions such as kidney stones or kidney infections.

7. Digital Breaks

The COVID-19 lockdowns ensured that our screen times went through the roof, but in order to improve overall mental well-being, more people are choosing to take digital breaks more regularly.

8. Nourishing Gut Health

Thanks to gut health playing such a vital role in one's overall health and well-being, more people are choosing to implement measures that nourish the gut lining. This is done through the consumption of pre-probiotics and probiotics and by following a well-balanced diet.

9. Low Impact Exercise

HIIT exercises will always be popular, but a lot of people are finding their groove with low-impact exercises such as pilates and yoga.

10. Fostering Real Connections

Social media is responsible for making everyone ultra-connected but disconnected at the same time. More people are choosing to focus their energy on building genuine relationships over virtual ones.

11. Lymphatic Drainage

Due to a plethora of health benefits, lymphatic drainage massages have gained an immense following. This practice promotes lymph fluid flow and well as relaxation.

12. Meditation and Mindfulness
