How similar are your weekday and weekend routines? How are they different?

We're heading into the weekend, Mighties!

What do your routines look like on the weekends? Are they similar or different than your weekday routines? If they're different, how come?

What important factors do you take into consideration when creating a new routine?

When creating a routine that works best for you, your health, and your lifestyle, it’s important to take note of different factors that will impact how effective that routine will be for you.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says the most important factors for her when it comes to creating new and effective routines is always taking into consideration how energy and sleep plays into that routine. Would she need to wake up or go to bed early? How much energy would this routine require to complete every day?

It’s one thing to create a routine that you know may be beneficial for you, but it’s a whole other story to stick to that routine on a regular basis. So many factors can go into creating new habits!

Depends on what area of my life the routine applies to

30-Day-Self-Care-Challenge/ Day 29

Day 29: Look at photos of people, places or things you love.

I looked at some photos of the sea and sea life. It was really relaxing and helped my head not be so noisy. I really wish I had an aquarium but they look like so much work.

TRUE or FALSE: Routines help my mental health.

Let’s talk about routines this week!

Whether we’re waking up at the same time every day, going to school or work, or even making sure we’re eating a certain amount of meals, drinking water, and taking our prescribed medication; routines can help us maintain a level of consistency in our daily lives. The routines we practice can determine how we approach each day as well as affect our mental health.

What are your thoughts on setting daily routines? Do you think they help your mental health? Or does the rigidity increase your anxiety or hyperfixation?

What skill or quality about yourself do you appreciate the most?

Let’s end this week of gratitude reflection with sharing the skills and qualities we appreciate most in ourselves. Are you funny, thoughtful, a musical prodigy, or analytical? Maybe you’re naturally a helper — always looking out for the people or animals around you.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says she appreciates how creative and kind she is. 🌸
