wellness in balance?
Wellness is everywhere these days – in our feeds, our offices, our gyms, even in how we socialize. From morning yoga routines to juice cleanses, from meditation apps to wellness retreats – it seems like everyone is chasing the perfect version of a healthy life. But what does it really mean to live well? Can wellness itself become a kind of intoxication – something that entices, captivates, and sometimes overwhelms us?
We scroll, we track, we compare. We try to live by every new rule or trend, thinking this is the path to health, happiness, and balance. Yet somehow, it can leave us feeling… pressured, exhausted, or even guilty.
can wellness actually be simple, balanced & human?
wellness is an ideology?
“Today, wellness has gone mainstream. It dictates the way we work and live, how we study, and how we have sex.”
Wellness can become an ideology – a set of glamorized expectations that tell us how to live “correctly.” Another perspective from the book:
“To stop smoking is not so much about cutting down on your immediate expenses, or even extending your life expectancy, as it is a necessary strategy to improve your personal market value.”
Even in the wellness world, there is no single “right” way to live.
true wellness is awareness, choice and joy ≠ perfection.
flexible wellness in our life
that’s me
Through moving my body with intention
that’s also me
and sometimes just sinking into a bath with a drink.
both nourish me in different ways.
that’s my vibe
Cozy evenings with friends and gourmet goodies
and that’s my vibe the day after
a morning workout with antioxidant matcha to pump my day
that’s us
Doing grocery for balancing our health and mood with a wholesome and nourishing foods
that’s also us
savoring life’s flavors with favourite movies and McD’s …
My brain during weekend
Listening to my fav music, dancing, daydreaming and enjoying
and my brain on Monday
Fixing my focus and clarity and slowly getting back to work
Wellness is not a rigid set of rules. It’s moderation, awareness, and joy. Sometimes it’s movement, sometimes rest. Sometimes it’s hedonism, sometimes nourishment.
Both are valid. Both are balanced.
kanoli philosophy
-
When you need grounding
-
when you feel a little frisky 🍋
-
with habits, choices, and pleasures that reflect who you truly are.
Wellness is not perfection. It’s a journey, rich, messy, and beautiful. Your story is yours to write – in balance.
Let life and magic happen. Enjoy everything in balance. Listen to yourself.
conclusion – live well in balance
Everything in excess can turn toxic. The wellness industry can feel overwhelming, we know by now. That’s not wellness – that’s pressure. True wellness should empower you to live fully, not confine you to a routine.
Should we build healthy habits? Absolutely.
Should we allow ourselves indulgence sometimes? Absolutely.
Life is too short to be locked into a glamorized routine. It needs spice - spontaneous trips, parties, and those unforgettable nights with friends. The kind where you wake up the next morning, hit the gym to sweat it out, and then jump right back into savoring life when the sun sets again.
That’s what Kanoli stands for: balanced wellness.
Yes, we will do yoga. And yes, afterward, we might have a wine or a pizza. Later, we might dance until sunrise, watch SATC or dive into a deep philosophical chat. The vibe decides.
Let life and magic happen. Enjoy everything in balance. Listen to yourself. That’s the best way to write your story.
With love and acceptance,
The Kanoli Team
