Have you ever missed your morning alarm or woke up late and had your entire morning, if not day, thrown off? Do you wake up and immediately get inundated with emails, or in the age of COVID – wake up at the same time as your kids while trying to work from home!? We’ve all been caught in one of these scenarios. The best way to strive to break those patterns is by developing the habit of routines!
A routine is defined as “a sequence of actions regularly followed.” A good routine can have positive impacts on your physical and mental health by reducing your stress and anxiety. Plan your tomorrow out today! Use your calendar and set designated times at which you will accomplish specific tasks. Be realistic about the tasks you want to complete each day and prioritize your list. Try implementing these tips daily and see how your efficiency will begin to increase day-to-day. Don’t forget to give yourself some grace, life happens and plans change but just readjust your schedule as needed. Start by planning ahead and setting your alarm early to get your day started on the right foot. Wake up early to peace, rather than late to stress and anxiety!
