Developing rewarding routines on your health journey will benefit you greatly. Creating diet and exercise routines will help you stay consistent. You cannot rely on your enthusiasm because it will wane. When it does, you can depend on your deep motivations and routines to pull you through. Ensure those routines are rewarding and pleasurable. I don’t enjoy waking up at 6 am to clean and work out, but I like resting in my clean room afterward. I like how I feel after I take care of my responsibilities. Your body needs physical activity as much as it needs to live in a clean environment. I prefer to get stuff done in the mornings, so I have the rest of the day to feel accomplished and relaxed.
It is necessary to ensure your routines are flexible. You cannot have an all-or-nothing mindset on health journeys. If it is too rigid and you can’t follow it at times, you may feel like a failure. Do not set yourself up for unnecessary disappointment. Routines help you gain a sense of control and help you be more aware of your lifestyle. That control and awareness help you make permanent lifestyle changes. Health journeys are a long process of change. Utilize these tools to help you along the way. Should your current routine or the changes to your lifestyle feel like a punishment, change them. You don’t have to suffer. It will do you no good. Make changes and follow routines that improve your mood and your life. It will take you far.
