Back to School Season = Back to Self Season for Parents


Ah, back-to-school season. It is the time of year when kids are buzzing with excitement (or dread) about new teachers, fresh notebooks, and that sweet return to routine. But let's be real—it's not just the kids who need a reset. Parents, this is your golden opportunity to reclaim some "me time" and hit the refresh button on your own life. As the household gets back into the groove, why not make this season your "Back to Self" season? Here are five fun ways to do just that.

 

1. Refocusing on Gut Health via the 3-Day Gut Reset

Remember those summer BBQs, ice cream runs, and maybe one too many margaritas? Yeah, your gut remembers, too. If your digestive system could talk, it might be begging for a vacation now. Enter the Zenwise 3-Day Gut Reset—your digestive system's version of a spa retreat.

We're talking gut-friendly foods, easy-to-follow tips, and a whole lot of feeling better fast. By the time you're done, you'll be ready to tackle the school year with the energy of a toddler on a sugar high (minus the crash). Check out the 3-Day Gut Reset Plan and give your gut the TLC it deserves.

 

2. Investing in a Meal Delivery Service to Simplify Life

Raise your hand if the thought of meal planning for the school year makes you want to crawl under a rock. Yep, we’ve all been there. But what if I told you there’s a magical service that brings healthy, delicious meals straight to your door without effort? Enter meal delivery services, the unsung heroes of busy parents everywhere. Imagine this: no more frantic grocery runs, debates over what to cook, just healthy meals ready to go. You might even start to feel like you've got this whole adulting thing down. And hey, when the meals are already prepped, you’ve got more time to sit back, relax, and maybe even catch up on that Netflix series you've been putting off.

 

3. Committing to a New Fitness Routine or Sport

Remember those pre-kid days when you could spontaneously sign up for a spin class or join a pickleball league? Well, guess what? You can totally still do that! With the kiddos back in school, now’s the perfect time to dive into a new fitness routine or sport that excites you.

Whether it's yoga or something adventurous like rock climbing (hey, why not?), getting active is your ticket to feeling like a superhero again. And let’s be real—every parent deserves to feel like a superhero at least once a day. Plus, you’ll have a great answer when your kids ask what you did while they were at school. "Oh, just saved the world... one plank at a time." Get some further inspo with our blog on Zen Workouts.

 

4. Getting Back to a Morning Routine

Confession time: Did summer mornings become a bit of a free-for-all in your house? If you’re nodding, it’s okay—you’re not alone. But with the school year upon us, it’s the perfect chance to get back into a morning routine that doesn’t involve stumbling to the coffee maker like a zombie.

Try waking up just 15 minutes earlier to savor some quiet time. Maybe you’ll meditate, journal, or sip your coffee without a tiny human tugging at your leg. Establishing a morning routine can make you feel like you’re nailing this whole parenting thing before the sun’s fully up. And who doesn’t want to start the day with a win? Need more motivation? Check out our blog on Healthy Habit Stacking.

 

5. Establishing Positive Routines in the Home

Routines are like the secret sauce that keeps a household running smoothly. One fun idea? Try setting a pre-meal intention with your family. Before digging in, take a moment to express gratitude, set a goal for the day, or breathe deeply and savor the moment.

It might sound a little "woo-woo," but trust me—it works. Not only does it create a peaceful vibe, but it also teaches the kiddos that mindfulness isn’t just for yogis. And hey, you might find that this small habit turns mealtime from chaotic to calm. Who knew?
