Ayurvedic Habits for Holistic Health: Sm...

Colette Kent
About this episode

We often think that transformation requires big, dramatic changes, but Ayurveda teaches us that it’s the small, steady habits that create the deepest, most sustainable impact.

In this episode, I share how small rituals act as anchors for your health, energy, and emotional balance. We’ll explore why habits conserve mental energy, how Ayurveda personalizes them for your unique dosha, and the ripple effects that build resilience and longevity.

You’ll learn:

  • Why daily habits matter

  • Foundational Ayurvedic rituals and their impact

  • How habits support different doshas of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha

  • Practical simple rituals you can start today to shift digestion, sleep, and mood

  • How to personalize your rituals so they truly feel nourishing (not like chores!)

  • A step-by-step approach you can start using today

By the end, you’ll see that even the smallest habits can ripple out through the body and mind to create big results when practiced daily.
