Forgive me if anything i had described wrong since this is my first blog as informed earlier I would require time to create many more in the future. so please do share your feedbacks or any concern on my blog. this will help me improve lot in future.

"Routine" - What is the term routine means - let me describe in terms of Sanskrit  "Dinacharya" - is a concept in ayurvedic medicine that looks at the cycles of nature and bases of daily activities around these cycles. Ayurveda contends that routines help establish balance and the understanding daily cycles is useful for promoting health. 

Mental health or illness is a widely discussed concept these days especially for the upcoming generations. Let me be clear of mental health " Mental health is all about the functionality of your brain and all that impacts it" 

What are daily routines?

Let me put it in simple terms such as your day to day activities on a daily basis that you do in your life.

- Get up in the morning

- Complete your usual work once after getting up

- Business or Employees work/ School 

- Food in between or breaks

- Travel/ Traffic  

- Back to home 

- Sleep 

The above are the routines we do it on a daily basis to fulfill our desire or sacrifice of life. Let me brief all the above routines,

Get up in the morning : 

Getting up in the morning is something which god has given a extra life to do something in this world. Wake up early morning before sun and perform some exercises to keep our psychical and mental health strong. Have prayers on a daily basis in order focus more on good things and perform good activities. 

Complete your usual work once after getting up:

The usual tasks that we perform like brushing, bathing, prayers etc. Family things such as helping wife in kitchen, helping kids before school etc. Perform exercise to maintain postures, health strong, eat healthy, diet control etc.

Business or Employees work:

Businessman, IT people and other labours etc who perform their tasks in their own respective fields. This is the place were we spend more than 8 hours a day in order to fulfill our descries or dreams. Money plays a vital role in everyone's life hence this the routine to be followed on day to day activities. we will have to run to fulfil family desires, kids desires, parents desires and end of the day our own desires as well. Life has to run like a machine and move around to achieve all of our targets.     

Food in between/Breaks:

Foods and breaks are very much important in our life. Proper and healthy food should be taken on time intervals. Health is more important for any type of work we perform. so there should be a small coffee break or snacks break in between our regular works which helps in refreshing the mind, helps to take any decisions with ease when we are bit relaxed in our regular tasks. our postures and health are more important to work continuously. Take up frequent breaks in our regular working culture.

Travel/Traffic:

This is the major time consuming activities in our regular life. These are sometimes good and sometimes bad which also consume more of your work life balances. Travel & traffic which is the hectic one in day to day activities. Travel sometimes separates family and office, everyday you travel between your family and office which is the time duration which the individuals has to think of themselves on what we are upto, what needs to be improved to succeed in our life. Travelling period is something which gives you more love, affections, caring etc   

Back to home/Sleep:

Above are the regular routine tasks performed by us on a day to day life and below are some mental health importance's.

Mental health helps determine how you handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. sometimes mental health can lead to Improved mood, Reduced Anxiety, Clearer Thinking, Deeper Relationships and Improved self-esteem and confidence.

As you explore new behaviors and begin incorporating them into your routine, aim to frame these changes as self-kindness, not self-punishment. Maintaining a gentle kind attitude towards yourself can do a lot more to improve your mental health and overall outlook than criticism and negative self talk.

Few steps that can help in maintaining the proper mental health,

- Get proper Sleep - As per doctors advise as a human being we should rest/sleep for at least 8 hours per day to avoid bad health. Lack of sleep will lead to so many diseases in human.

- Cut on Social Media - Spend less time on social medias like - Dont use mobile phones while sleep, remove all social media apps from your phone to get a breathing space. 

- Bring in Relationships - Have good friends, spend time with family, friends and for loved ones to deviate from negative influences. Speak good with your loved ones, preach positivity among your peers. have fun. 

-Move your body on your own terms - Movement can involve something different for every person, and it doesnt have to mean going to gym. instead make movement enjoyable for you by opting for physical activities that work best for your body, health and preferences.

- Savor Nutri foods - Have healthy foods like fruits such as berries, bananas, beans, wholegrains etc which can help to simply make sure you fuel your body everyday. 

- Make time for rest - Rest may vary from person to person, it generally means giving your mind and body the opportunity to unwind and restore.

Bottom line - Sometimes your mental health plays a vital role in your quality of life. Many of the factors that can affect mental health remain beyond your control, but adding beneficial habits to your days can promote greater wellness.
