8 Upgrades to Deepen Your Wellness Journey

Next-Level Natural Living: 8 Upgrades to Deepen Your Wellness Journey

So, you’ve cleaned up your skincare routine. You drink mineral water, eat whole foods, and your home smells like lavender and lemon instead of mystery fragrance #42. You’ve done the swaps, built the habits, and now you’re ready for more.

Natural living isn’t a checklist—it’s a lifestyle that keeps evolving as you do. And if you're in that space of wanting to go deeper, get more intentional, and really fine-tune the way you care for yourself, your home, and the people you love—this one’s for you.

Here are 8 next-level natural living upgrades that can help you build on what you’ve already started:

1. Start growing something—anything

Even if you don’t have a green thumb, there’s something powerful about growing your own food or medicine. Start small with a pot of kitchen herbs, a windowsill of microgreens, or a few backyard chickens if you're feeling bold. It connects you with your food and helps you slow down in the best way.

2. Learn to read labels like a pro

You've probably already ditched the obvious offenders—but now it’s time to dig deeper. Get curious about ingredient sourcing, filler oils, preservatives, and greenwashing. Once you know what to look for, you’ll spot the sneaky stuff a mile away. (And you'll save money by skipping things that look natural but really aren't.)

3. Incorporate seasonal living

Instead of living the same way all year round, start tuning into the rhythms of the seasons. Maybe that looks like using warming herbs in winter, eating lighter foods in summer, or syncing your routines with the natural light. Your body loves this kind of seasonal support.

4. Make your own medicine cabinet

Fire cider, elderberry syrup, tinctures, herbal salves, tallow balm—you don’t have to rely on the drugstore for every little thing. Stock a home apothecary with simple, effective remedies you trust. It’s empowering, and it helps you care for your people in a really grounded, nourishing way.

5. Start filtering more than just your water

By now, you probably have a water filter—but what about your shower? Or the air in your home? Upgrading to a good shower filter can help reduce chlorine exposure. Opening your windows daily, diffusing essential oils, and adding houseplants can help improve indoor air quality.

6. Level up your food sourcing

You already know that real food matters. But if you can, start thinking local and regenerative. Shop your farmers market, look into local meat shares, or connect with small family farms. The quality difference is huge—and you’re supporting people who are truly stewarding the land well.

7. Protect your nervous system

Natural living isn't just about what you do—it's also about how you feel. And our modern world is overstimulating. Try turning off your Wi-Fi at night, limiting blue light after sunset, or incorporating nervous system-regulating practices like breathwork, walking barefoot, or prayer. Your health isn’t just physical—it’s emotional and spiritual too.

8. Build community with like-minded people

One of the most natural things we can do is live in community. Host an herbal swap, start a garden club, or just find a few friends who also love talking about fermentation and mineral drops. We’re not meant to do this alone.

You don’t have to do all of these things at once. Just like before—pick one or two that speak to you and go from there. Natural living is about intention, not perfection. The deeper you go, the more peace, clarity, and confidence you’ll feel.

And if you're looking for skincare that matches your values—slow-made, intentional, and rooted in ingredients from the earth—Wyld Terra is right here walking this journey with you.
