About WellnessProper

Why I write the way I do, and who I have in mind when I sit down to write it.

How I Ended Up Writing Any Of This

I used to read health advice the way people read a New Year list. Drop the bread, wake at five, log every bite, fix my whole life by Friday. None of it survived my first genuinely bad week, which was the only week that ever mattered.

So I went the other way. I take one habit per page, say plainly why it works, and then I stop typing. I never ask you for a free evening, a special shop, or a clean slate on Monday.

If a habit cannot survive a bad week, I do not count it. That is the only test I put my own ideas through.

Rules I Set For My Writing

Three of them, and they keep me honest, brief and worth the minutes you hand over.

Small First

One Change At A Time

I give one habit the whole stage until it stops costing effort. Every time I tried six at once, all six were gone before the month ended.

Plain Words

No Jargon Required

If I need a glossary to explain something, I have written it badly. I explain things the way I would over a kitchen table, and I show you why rather than only what.

Real Budgets

Nothing To Buy

Sleep, water, walking, and cooking with whatever is already in your cupboard. Once advice needs a receipt it is really a product, and products are easy to quit.
