The 3 S’s Formula for Better Wellbeing

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about how we actually maintain our wellbeing — not just for a week or two, but over the long haul.

Last week, I had what I call a “self-care trifecta”:

• A DEXA scan to check my bone health
• My annual dermatology appointment
• A massage and a chiropractor session

None of these things happened by chance — they were on my calendar weeks ago. By the time those appointments rolled around, I was grateful I had created that space for myself.

It reminded me of the 3 S’s Formula for Wellbeing — a simple structure that helps you feel supported every day, every week, and every month.

1. Daily Self-Care

These are the habits and rituals that help you show up as your best self. They don’t have to be complicated — even small, consistent actions add up.

Think:

• Morning stretches or yoga
• Mindful breathing breaks
• Nutritious meals
• A walk outside

When you make time for daily self-care, you’re putting small deposits into your wellbeing bank account.

2. Weekly Social Support

We thrive in connection with others. Making time each week for positive relationships boosts your resilience and joy.

This might look like:

• A phone call with a friend
• Attending a yoga class
• Sunday family dinner
• Volunteering in your community

Regular connection helps you feel anchored and less alone when life gets busy or stressful.

3. Monthly Services

Sometimes we need a little extra help from professionals and practitioners who support our health.

Examples include:

• Massage therapy
• Chiropractic or physical therapy
• Coaching or counseling
• Acupuncture or bodywork
• Annual or seasonal check-ups

Scheduling these ahead of time means you’re not scrambling when you need them most.

Why the 3 S’s Work

This formula works because it keeps your wellbeing in motion — a mix of what you do for yourself, the relationships that sustain you, and the expert care that supports your whole being.

And here’s a bonus: a retreat like my Fall Women’s Retreat in October checks all three boxes in just one weekend. You’ll experience:

• Daily Self-Care: Yoga, mindfulness, nourishing food, and rest
• Weekly Social Support: Connection with a small group of women in a warm, uplifting setting
• Monthly Services: Expert-led sessions, guided self-reflection, and restorative practices

If you’ve been craving a reset, the Early Bird rate is now extended until August 31.
