Random writing led me to think about all the small cumulative things I do to manage my mental wellbeing. Taking tiny steps everyday has changed my mental health in profound ways.

Here are things I do daily as part of my routine:

Morning Routine for maintaining my mental wellbeing

Exercise Routine

I do some form of exercise every single day. I joined the gym and am developing a habit. Monday, Wednesday and Friday is resistance training. Tuesday and Thursday is running. Saturday is yoga. Sunday is supposed to be a rest day but I find I need to do something so I end up doing a short 15min HIIT session.

I read a lot of self-help books. Recently read Mark Manson’s book “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F***k” and it has given me ideas of new ways of looking at things that have been life-affirming and wellbeing.

I now make the effort to maintain friendships.

I am constantly relearning the importance of communication.

Being open with my family about mental health.

By far the most significant thing was acceptance. Accepting that this is something I have that likely won’t be cured but can be managed.

All these little things and routines have helped towards maintaining a healthy mind even during trying times.
