In this video, I tackle the question of why creating routines for mental health actually helps to fight off depression. I have struggled with depression, anxiety and PTSD for a super long time and have discovered how putting together simple, healthy and practical routines does help our mental health improve.
Learning how our brains work and respond to consistent daily patterns we can develop in our lives, can benefit us as we learn to fight off depression or any other mental health issue.
My personality enjoys planning and creating routines, as well as experimenting with what actually helps with my mental health. In short, the routines I’ve developed for myself work with my personality and my priorities and values in my life. May this only encourage you to pull together a plan for your own daily routines to help you with your mental health as well.
