Megs- Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Me and @Duckie came up with an awesome idea to help me settle in the evenings I follow this what I’m about to write and hopefully I feel and settle down before sleeping, as night time are hard for me at the moment. I’m also going to be adding a morning routine also because I have no motivation in the morning, so I thought it would be good :) Morning routine: Wake up, make my bed, add my teddy’s on display. go to the bathroom, clean my face and brush teeth. Have shower go back to bedroom and get dried and dressed. put favourite perfume and deodorant on. check my phone and reply to messages ask mum what the plan is for the day. that’s a simple and basic morning routine, hopefully if I can navigate doing that and seeing an improvement then I will add some more. Night time routine: Go into bathroom wash face, and ( makeup, if applied that morning) brush teeth. go into bedroom. ( my mum normally comes up with me ). say goodnight to mum, and kittens, patch and Chloe. get dressed into PJs, ( lion king ones!) get comfortable in bed and put YouTube or Netflix on tv. gently fall asleep. of course like I said above, this is my first time trying one of these out so don’t judge me please. I’m doing this to try improve my quality of life. I will be adding to this every morning and evening and will say to each point if I have completed it or not, and at end of every week on a Sunday I will do summary of how my week has been. this will be starting tomorrow, sorry for the long post - megs MultiQuote Quote Link to comment https://forums.ditchthelabel.org/topic/6994-morningnight-routine-checklistdiary-for-megan/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monsoon Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 That's great :) Routines are so good for our mental health. They mean that we know what to expect and we also get a sense of comfort and safety from them.
