- Keeping your house cleaned and in order.
- Performing routine hygienic practices needed to keep yourself healthy and fresh.
Having these routines in place ensures that these regular activities happen smoothly and predictably. Knowing that these parts of your day are built in leaves you with a sense of contentment embedded in predictability. It is not hard to build routines that support healthy living. You just need to make it happen!
