Routine as a Resource

IMG_20190912_113734_921.jpg

This series explores the therapeutic potential that natures’ cycle offers us and how we can bring it into our daily life to support our healing, create resources, increase our capacity and resiliency, and encourage reflection.

Reflections & themes in my work last month is harnessing the magic of routines. Routine becomes a resource for us to take care of ourselves, to help life feel manageable, to regulate mood, to carve out consistency in building our self care toolbox. With repetition (a routine), acts of service to self become easier to reach out to, to use and habitual.

Examples: a sleep routine, a morning routine, going for a walk 3 days a week, meditation for 10 minutes, closing your door & having 20 minutes just for you.

What is one routine you can (or have been) focus on and develop or deepen to become a resource in your life?
