Wellness Books

Start your own essential wellness library with books on mindfulness and meditation, sleep and healthy eating. Find books in our collection by inspiring public figures, such as Oprah Winfrey, Arianna Huffington and ballerina Misty Copeland. Open a self-help book by an author like Mark Manson, Rachel Hollis or Canadian Neil Pasricha or learn about the benefits of unplugging with Tiffany Shlain in 24/6, a Heather’s Pick and one of Indigo’s best books of the year.

Self-Care

This year, try to make self-care a priority. There’s no right or wrong way to introduce a self-care practice. It’s all about finding the time and space in your life to take care of your mental, emotional and/or physical well-being. It can be as simple as reading with a mug of your favourite warm beverage, drawing a soothing bath, picking up a relaxing and rejuvenating skincare routine, or exploring cannabis culture. Find a self-care ritual, or personal wellness practice, that makes sense for you and try to take a few moments for it in your schedule.

Healthy Eating

Healthy eating is all about preparing and choosing nourishing foods that make you feel your best. Kick-start a healthy eating routine with a new cookbook, such as The Goodful Cookbook, The Joyous Cookbook or Modern Flexitarian. To make lunch and dinner a breeze, learn how to meal prep and plan your meals in advance. This could be as simple as batch-cooking a few recipes over the weekend, so you have delicious meals to tide you over all week long. Pack up your leftovers for later—or for lunch—with eco-friendly products, like lunch totes, bento boxes, beeswax wrap and more.

Fitness

Kick-start your fitness routine with everything you need to hit the gym near you, your favourite workout studio or a quiet space in your home. From yoga mats and blocks to beautiful resistance bangles in an array of colours and books by fitness experts, find a fitness practice that gets you excited to move. To track your progress, you can wear a Fitbit fitness tracker—like a Fitbit Versa, Fitbit Inspire, or Fitbit Alta—during your workout and start building healthy habits this year and beyond.

Creativity

Find a passion or hobby that gets you excited, inspired and helps you unplug. When you’re crafting or working on a creative DIY project, you have to tune out distractions and focus on the task at hand, making it a unique way to practice mindfulness. This year, try adopting a creative wellness practice and try your hand at drawing or painting, knitting or crochet, paper crafts, embroidery or cross stitch, calligraphy or journaling. Pick up a crafting kit, a book on creativity or the supplies you need to create something new for yourself, or as a gift for someone else.
