What are the Positive Effects of Daily Routines on Human Psychology?

Human psychology varies from day to day. If these differences are too widespread and extreme, diseases such as depression may occur. It is in one's own hands to balance the mood and lead a peaceful life. The days spent are also very important for being happy. In general, how the day starts gives important clues for the rest of the day. While a person feels good when he/she wakes up in the morning, a bad news he/she receives later can lower his/her mood, on the contrary, when a person wakes up unhappy, he/she can improve his/her mood later in the day. But in general, starting the day motivated when you first wake up in the morning is very important in the course of the day. Planning and activities at the beginning of the day and during the day have positive effects on human psychology. Using the day efficiently plays an important role.

Morning thoughts can be stressful. But eliminating these thoughts and decisions can lead to a better start to the day.

Having a set routine means that you don't have to think about what is being done during the day, as most of the work will be tied to the daily routine. Because it is part of the daily routine, doing things without thinking about them does not require motivation. So, theoretically, if you have to make a habit of doing the things you want to do, and if this is turned into a routine, these things become automatic. Routines also contribute to gaining more control over the general chaos of existence.

What should be done to get into a routine?

It may take some time to get into a good routine. But when one sticks to it, it becomes a habit. One way to get comfortable is to create three separate routines. These routines are as follows;

Morning routine: Waking up in the morning and having breakfast prepares you for the day. A morning walk or some yoga exercises are other motivating factors.

Daytime routine: If daily work and other tasks that need to be done are planned, it contributes to a more comfortable rest of the day.

Night routine: Preparing dinner and planning the next day's meal makes one's day easier, but it is necessary to get enough rest during free time.

What are the benefits of daily routines for human psychology?

One of the biggest benefits of a healthy routine is reduced stress levels. When a person establishes a routine in their life, they feel more in control of their life and feel confident in their choices.

Having a setbedtime helps a person to get enough sleep, and since the day is set, one does not sleep all night thinking about the stress of the next day. In addition, establishing a routine makes a person feel happy. The benefits of daily routines for human psychology are as follows;

Quality and sufficient sleep: Sleep helps to take a break and re-energize. A regular sleep makes the psychology and physical energy renewed and ready for the next day. Deep sleep, or REM sleep, is the sleep time when the brain processes the events and feelings experienced. However, if deep sleep is irregular and lasts less than it should, the mental state the next day may prevent a happy day. It can also make you feel physically tired and exhausted.

Physical cleansing: Waking up in the morning and taking a shower, washing the face, and other physical cleansing actions will help the person to start the day in a fresh state. This will make you feel good and motivate you. Starting the day exhausted and tired negatively affects the mood for the rest of the day.

Exercise It is necessary to set aside certain periods of time during work or school life for physical and mental exercise. Even if not for long hours, in free time;
exercises that help to relax both mentally and physically, such as meditation, yoga and pilates, should be practiced. During these exercises, one can get away from the world for a moment, leave intense thoughts aside and relax psychologically. One feels refreshed for the rest of the day and this increases our productivity. We should continue our day without forgetting our health during our busy schedule.

Planning Planning the work to be done causes a sense of responsibility to develop. Thus, what needs to be done is done more willingly. Adhering to this planning within the possibilities increases efficiency and ensures that the person is organized. Being organized psychologically relaxes the person and makes them feel safe.

These suggestions can make a person's day more productive and happier. Many other things can be added to these, such as eating a healthy diet and keeping a diary. However, not every day can be expected to be equally productive and happy. If one wants to spend some days doing nothing and just lying in bed, this should not be prevented and one should allow oneself to rest. In the ordinary course of life, it is as necessary to relax and rest as it is to be productive.
