Natalie Kuhn, founder of Make the Sun, is reshaping how we experience wellness—by showing that simple, intentional practices can bring clarity, purpose, and balance to even the busiest of days. From grounding moments to mindful transitions, her practical tools prove that wellness doesn’t have to be complicated or out of reach. Here are ten ways to incorporate wellness into your daily routine, one moment at a time.
1. Turn everyday moments into rituals
Choose one activity you do every day—like making your morning coffee—and give it your full attention. Notice the aroma, the temperature of the cup, the sound of the water. This simple focus practice helps quiet a distracted mind.
2. Go short, feel deep
Wellness doesn’t require hours. Just five minutes of intentional movement, deep breathing, or journaling can have a meaningful impact. Focus on quality over quantity.
3. Create anchor moments
Use daily actions—like brushing your teeth or waiting for the elevator—as anchors to reconnect. Roll your shoulders, reflect on something you’re grateful for, or take a few deep breaths.
4. Make your commute work for you
Driving? Listen to an uplifting podcast or practice mindful breathing at stoplights (and no texting). Walking or commuting? Ditch the phone and observe your surroundings: the landscape, sounds, and sensations.
5. Put it in your calendar
Treat wellness practices like important appointments. Schedule a 10-minute walk, a hydration break, or a quick meditation—and respect it like any other commitment.
6. Use transitions wisely
Transitions—like switching tasks or ending the workday—are perfect for resetting. Try grounding with three deep breaths and set an intention for what comes next. Natalie suggests a two-minute dance break to your favorite song—yes, even in the bathroom if needed.
7. Make sleep non-negotiable
Instead of overhauling your entire bedtime routine, start small. Dim the lights 30 minutes before bed or swap screen time for something relaxing, like stretching or reading.
8. Mix wellness with social time
Blend connection and movement. Invite a friend for a walk instead of coffee, or take a yoga class together. Social wellness counts, too.
9. Redefine “me time”
It doesn’t have to be extravagant. Three mindful minutes to sit in silence, sip tea, or feel the sun on your skin can be powerfully restorative.
10.Celebrate small wins
Wellness is built on small, intentional actions. Instead of focusing on what you didn’t do, celebrate what you did—drinking a glass of water or pausing to stretch already counts.
Natalie Kuhn recently visited Mexico as a speaker at the second edition of Wellness Residency by In Tent—a transformative event designed to integrate wellness into daily life. The program brings together meditation, conscious movement, and inspiring conversations with wellness leaders, offering space for reconnection, learning, and personal growth.
For Natalie, self-care doesn’t require big changes—it’s about turning everyday moments into opportunities for balance, presence, and meaningful living. In Tent’s residencies invite participants to pause and prioritize what truly matters, even amid modern chaos.
