Why Am I Grateful for Having a Routine?

There was a time when I used to be an angry young woman. My life was so unorganized.

I was known for my late entries on family gatherings and business parties.

I was suffering from a bad habit of making sudden decisions due to my unstructured life and it always caused stress and anxiety.

Then something happened to me and that was my marriage.

After a few days of my married life, I began to realize that I was so poor at handling sudden and unexpected situations.

To arrange a party for my husband’s friends or family was like rocket science to me.

Then God sent an angel to help me and that was my husband’s grandmother.

She observed me for some days and then one day she came to me when I was panicking while making dinner.

She told me that I am a very good girl with a soft heart and pure soul with only one thing missing and that is routine.

At first, I was not able to understand her point but then gradually she made me understand that, I should get along with a structured routine to prevent anxiety and successfully handle the tough situations.

From that day, I started following a structured routine and it helped me in so many ways. For example;
Time-management:

It assisted me in effective time management. I allocate specific time slots for work, leisure, and self-care.

It helps me to stay on track and avoid the stress of rushing or falling behind schedule.
Healthy Habits:

My daily routine includes regular time for exercise, relaxation, and sleep. These activities are essential for physical and mental well-being.
