The purpose of a routine is to add structure and some predictability to your day. It’s a given that not everyday will be the same, but allocating a time for when you’ll wake, eat, work, sleep, have fun, etc, will help you feel less stressed, and in the right state of mind to take on the day!
Every time you complete a task, your body releases a load of dopamine which not only makes you feel good, but also motivates you to keep going!
If you don’t have your own routine yet, use these steps as a guide:
Make a list of everything you normally do in a day. With a rough idea of what needs to be done, you can start curating a general to-do list.
Find what works for you because no one knows you better than you know yourself!
Be patient with yourself. Starting and sticking with a routine takes time and effort and some days will be harder than others. When you’re feeling down, remember to take note of why you might be feeling that way and how you can change up your routine to make yourself feel better!
