• Real-Life Success: Sarah's Story

Sarah, a 38-year-old marketing executive and mother of two, struggled to find time for self-care between client meetings and family responsibilities.

I was constantly exhausted but felt guilty taking time for myself," she shares. "When I discovered these 2-minute rituals using Extract48's herbal wellness drops, everything changed. I started with the morning Energize ritual, and within a week, I noticed I wasn't reaching for my third cup of coffee anymore. My mood improved, and I felt more present with my kids after work.

Sarah especially loves the convenience factor: "The leak-proof bottles fit in my purse so that I can practice my rituals anywhere—even between meetings or in carpool lines.

How to Integrate These Rituals Into Your Busiest Days

The key to successful micro-wellness practices is attaching them to existing habits. Recent research in the Journal of Behavioral Medicine shows that "habit stacking"—connecting new habits to established ones—increases success rates by 74%.

We recommend:

• Morning ritual: Do right after brushing your teeth
  
  
• Mid-day ritual: Practice before or after lunch
  
  
• Evening ritual: Incorporate into your bedtime routine

According to a 2023 consumer trends report by McKinsey & Company, 78% of wellness consumers now prioritize convenient solutions that integrate into existing routines rather than adding entirely new practices to their schedule.
