So, a daily routine is all those behaviors and behaviors that we carry out in our day to day, from the moment we get up until we go to bed. They are habits related to the times of meals, cleaning and rest. Or organizational habits to go to work, to clean the home or to do the shopping.
Even the daily routine are habits regarding the type of diet we have, leisure or hours dedicated to study and learning.

Why is it good to maintain our daily routine?

- Setting and respecting certain times, such as getting up and going to bed, or meal times, helps the whole family to get organized. In this way, all members can share meal times and rest properly.
- It is positive that certain hours are established to be connected to the internet and social networks. It is not recommended to be connected to your mobile or computer all the time. Spending too many hours in front of a screen is bad for our eyesight and, in addition, it can contribute to raising anxiety levels.
- Mainly, in those families in which there are children, it is essential to maintain schedules and routines to promote their correct development. Children should not lose the habit of doing their homework every day, having fun and entertaining themselves, eating at certain times and going to bed early, despite everything.
- It is important to maintain personal and household hygiene. Taking a shower every day, taking off our pajamas and getting dressed, cleaning and tidying up the home… Everything helps our good mood.
- It is positive that leisure moments are also relatively planned and controlled. So that these do not interfere with other aspects of our daily routine, such as order, meals or rest times that we have mentioned. Thus, it helps a lot to establish a specific time to read, to do a craft or to watch series. Be careful: watch series, don’t get fed up with them.
Maintaining our daily routine is a blessing
A useful tip in relation to our daily routine is that we plan the day according to the different tasks or obligations that have to be done. That is, to fulfill the tasks of the home, cleaning and order. Fulfill our work, professional or school obligations, and, finally, attend to social relationships, that is, talk and be in contact with family and friends.
In difficult times it is important to stay entertained, active, awake and optimistic. And this is possible if we organize our day to day with schedules, activities and tasks, without postponing any of them to the next day, that is, keeping our daily routine firm.
