7 Tips to Restructure Your New “Normal”

There is nothing normal about the circumstances we find ourselves in.  Our daily routines have been completely disrupted. But…what if that is a good thing?   In order to grow, we must adapt to our new “normal” and create a daily routine that keeps us healthy and feeling well. Here are a few tips that can help restructure your new “normal”.

7 Tips to Restructure Your Daily Routine

  1. Plan time for yourself. Clear your head by meditating, praying, or using breathing techniques to divert attention away from any stress.
  2. Exercise regularly. Increase your movement. Find something physical you like to do and stick with it.
  3. Work hard. Whether that means working from home, homeschooling kids, or finishing those to-dos that have been on your list forever, make sure to give it your all!
  4. Enjoy social/ recreation time.  FaceTime with a friend. Read a book. Pull out those paints.
  5. Start a journal of gratitude.  
  6. Sketch out your plan for tomorrow. Make your to-do list with reasonable expectations. This will give you a sense of control, and reduce useless worry.
  7. Get better sleep! Turn off all electronics and try to get 7-9 hours per night.

  6. Sign up for a run/walk or other event that will require you to train.

  10. Walk to lunch.
  11. Stretch your back and neck at least 2-3 times during the day, especially if you sit at a desk. If you don’t know how, seek some professional advise like from a physical therapist.
  12. Exercise at lunch time. Take 15 minutes to just move around some.
  13. Take a nap at lunch time. 15 minute power naps can do wonders for your afternoon.
  14. Prepare your healthy lunch. Bring your lunch from home so there are no difficult decisions to make at lunch time.
  15. If you go out for lunch, eat less, and watch the carbs.
