How routines helped me during Quarantine
Now more than ever, when life has become chaotic due to the infamous word of 2020 “unprecedented” times. Do we need routines in place to stay sane?
I know I did, and I am almost certain many of us can benefit from it. We all went through the phase of overindulgence at some point during the quarantine (for some of us it may still continue), where we probably exceeded ourselves in eating, drinking or any other guilty pleasures we may have had.
There’s no need to feel ashamed for that, it was after all, a time of uncertainty and quite frankly continues to be. Routines can help us bring normalcy into our lives.
Here’s how:
Creating healthy habits- I am sure you’ve heard this before in your Cosmopolitan magazine, self-help books, and from the most successful people out there. We may not even realize that we already have routines in place such as: washing our face, brushing our teeth etc. when we wake up. They just become second nature to us, but in reality they are healthy habits that we have created.
Imagine you incorporated something new, that you know will guarantee a feel good moment that can hopefully expand throughout the day. Some ideas are: having tea/coffee, journaling, uplifting music, meditation. The list can go on, that’s just to show that there are limitless things…
