Wellness Tip:

Track Your Moods

Your emotions aren’t random. They’re shaped by factors like sleep, food, movement, and even little daily habits. 

That’s why tracking your moods can be helpful. You start to notice what lifts you up and what drags you down. Neuroscience even shows that simply naming your feelings can tone down their intensity, making it easier to respond calmly instead of reacting on impulse.

Want to give it a try? A simple journal works, or you can use something structured like the Panda Planner Mental Health Planner to spot patterns, build emotional resilience, and practice a little extra self-kindness on tough days.

Routine Breakdown

The Simple Habit That Fuels a Beauty CEO’s Success

Renowned beauty entrepreneur Wende Zomnir, 57, counts physical exercise as one of the most vital elements of her routine. She says movement helps her performance both as a CEO and as a family leader.

The Routine:

• Wakes between 5 and 6 am. 
• Immediately drinks 20 ounces of water. 
• Her second drink is coffee or coconut water with some protein powder (the latter is for days she exercises).
• Does a morning workout—all while testing out new makeup formulas. “I don’t have to be thinking about when I’m going to squeeze my workout in later in the day,” she says. “Physical activity is my drug of choice, so I work better when I’ve worked out.” She does yoga, plays tennis, or goes rucking in the soft sand most mornings. She also loves playing beach volleyball, surfing, snowboarding, and riding her bike. “I like to move!”

Why it works:

• Wende’s routine keeps it simple: just a few steps, and a focus on exercise as a path to both physical health and mental focus. And working out in the morning means she’s more likely to get it done.

“As my kids got older, they needed me less in the morning, so I was able to shift from afternoon workouts to the morning,” she added. “Making adjustments that sync with the life stages of my family and being willing to optimize my routine has made the biggest impact.”
