hey everyone ready to dive into routines
I feel like they can be good but also
sometimes routines feel like just
another thing to add to the to-do list
you know yeah like between work and
family and all that it's hard to squeeze
in healthy stuff it's true life can get
pretty hectic yeah exactly so that's why
we're taking a deep dive into these
guides on building healthy routines but
like routines that actually fit into
your life not the other way around you
know definitely they make it really
clear that routines don't have to be
like super strict or anything yeah
they're more like
um I don't know like little guides maybe
little things that help you make those
healthy choices just a bit easier yeah
almost like a road map for your day and
you know what's cool there's actually
science behind it really yeah studies
show that mues can really help lower
stress levels especially when you're
going through a tough time that makes
sense okay so how do we actually like
start building these routines where do
we even begin well all these guides we
looked at they all say the same thing
start small don't try to change
everything all at once just pick one
small change okay and make that your
focus for the week so not like a total
life overhaul no no not at all think
about it if you try to change everything
overnight you just get overwhelmed oh
for sure but just one tiny change that
feels a lot more doable absolutely it's
like what if instead of having that
sugary soda in the afternoon you just
swap it for a glass of water oo I like
that it's just one little change but
think how much better you might feel by
the end of the week right and you know
building on that yeah these guides talk
about how powerful it is to add new
habits to things you're already doing so
it's like you're kind of sneaking in
those healthy choices without even
thinking about it too much exactly I
like that so instead of trying to like
find a whole separate time to exercise
maybe you do a few stretches while
you're watching TV oh smart so it's all
about making things easier for yourself
exactly what existing habit could you
use to sneak in something healthy you
know one thing that I think really helps
is um you know like celebrating those
wins oh yeah totally even the small ones
sure it's like you're giving yourself a
little pat on the back mhm you know for
making that progress it doesn't have to
be anything crazy like maybe it's like a
Rel in bath at the end of the week right
or you get to watch like an extra
episode of your favorite show yeah guilt-free
guilt-free
totally what's like a little treat that
you would give yourself for sticking
with your routine yeah what would you do
it's a good question it's interesting
though because these guides they also
talk about how important it is to like
plan ahead well that's F you know
because life is unpredictable yeah for
so if you can like kind of think ahead
right to those times when you know
you're going to be busy or if something
unexpected comes up yeah you're less
likely to just totally abandon the
routine totally it's like you're setting
your future self up for Success yeah
because we all know that when we're
already stressed and busy right it's so
much harder to make those healthy
choices exactly like think about it you
know packing a healthy lunch the night
before yeah means you're not you know
going to be as tempted to grab something
quick and unhealthy on your way out the
door or having like a backup workout
planned oh yeah for those days where you
just can't get to the gym yeah little
things like that can really make a big
difference totally yeah it's all about
like getting rid of all those little
decisions exactly when you're already
like overwhelmed it's like having a plan
for when your willpower is low yeah so
think about those things that usually
trip you up and what's like one small
step you could take to kind of solve it
before it even happens oh that's smart I
like that and you know what we can't
forget about what's that routine
shouldn't be all work and no play oh
that's so important like all of these
guyses they really emphasize setting
aside at least 15 minutes each day for
something fun that's good advice you
know it's not just about physical health
it's also about mental health for sure
like your overall well-being exactly
yeah and 15 minutes might not seem like
a lot but it can make a huge difference
in how you feel absolutely so what fun
activity would you prioritize in your
routine like would you read a chapter of
a good book yeah spend time with friends
or family whatever brings you Joy
whatever it is and you know what
nobody's perfect oh no and these guides
even say it yeah like it's okay if you
miss a day that happens life happens of
course the important thing is to not be
too hard on yourself yeah and just get
back on track the next day okay so to
wrap things up yeah routines really
don't have to be a huge complicated
thing right you know it's all about
starting small making a plan yeah and
celebrating those little wins along the
way yeah and like we've been saying it's
about making sure your routine actually
works for you exact like it shouldn't
feel like a chore so let's do a quick
recap of those key takeaways okay so we
talked about starting small MH rewarding
yourself yes and don't forget about
planning ahead especially for those busy
days right oh and one last thing yeah
don't forget to have some fun so true
you know a little bit of Joy each day
can make such a big difference
absolutely I have a question for you oo
I love a good question H me with it
okay so as we wrap up here mhm think
about this okay what's one specific
change that you're committed to making
in your routine this week that's a good
one it could be anything like drinking
more water going for a walk or even just
adding in five minutes of stretching
before bed just one small thing exactly
