How to make your everyday life more positive and relaxed
Small, conscious steps can make a huge difference in the long run on your path to increased well-being. How is this possible? Through the power of daily routines. Because the key to greater happiness and success lies in the habits we cultivate every day. Learn why routines can be important and how you can start your very own healthy routine today in the following blog post.
Why are routines so important?
Every day, we make thousands of decisions—some conscious, others unconscious. Approximately 30 to 50 percent of these daily activities are "cognitively passive" repetitive actions. The miracle of routine is that it allows our brain to make many of these decisions automatically, saving us energy and allowing us to better focus on what matters most. Routine is the key to automatically pursuing the things that are meaningful and good for us in our sometimes hectic daily lives, thus leading a happy, healthy, and long-term life in alignment with our goals.
8 super qualities that routines support you with in your everyday life:
- The booster for good habits
By establishing a good routine, we can deliberately cultivate good habits that will benefit us in the long run and also help us effectively break bad habits.
- The silent organizer in the background
Routines create a fixed and logical framework for our daily routine, allowing us to use our time better and more efficiently without having to think about it.
- The personal goal achiever
Routines help us achieve our goals step by step by encouraging us to consistently take the necessary steps to move closer to our dreams and goals. - The daily well-being monitor
Routines encourage positive daily actions and habits that help us prioritize the aspects that are good for us and support our overall well-being by creating space and time for healthy activities such as meditation, eating a balanced diet, or taking your Dailybacs. - The Prioritizer
Establishing a routine challenges us to set priorities and make clear decisions about what truly matters to us. This facilitates daily decision-making and supports us in consistently pursuing what is important for achieving our personal goals and our happiness. - The stress reducer
Having a routine helps reduce mental strain by promoting task automation, which reduces stress and mental strain and thus improves our overall well-being. - The turbo boost for your efficiency
By minimizing daily decision-making tasks, a routine allows us to complete our daily tasks with greater efficiency. - The leisure provider
By helping us plan our days more efficiently and reducing our mental stress, routines promote relaxation and create space and time for leisure and personal recovery.
How can I change my current routine and build a new, positive routine?
We all have certain things we do daily, but sometimes routines or habits creep in that don't truly serve us and neither bring us closer to our goals nor increase our well-being. With the following six simple steps, we'll show you how you can work on changing existing routines to start your new, positive routines today:
1. Self-reflection:
First, identify what is currently bothering you and then determine exactly which new habits you want to establish in your new routine to bring about positive changes.
2. Set realistic goals:
Avoid making too many changes at once and formulate your goals so that they are specific, achievable and measurable.
3. Get inspired:
Get inspiration from people who already practice the habits and routines you want to incorporate into your daily life.
4. Start small & stay tuned:
Avoid trying to change everything at once. Research shows that making too many changes too quickly often leads to setbacks. Establishing a new routine can take an average of 66 days. So start small and stick with it—it's worth it!
5. Make it as easy as possible for yourself:
Integrate new habits into your existing routine and processes as easily as possible. Our personal everyday helper for a healthy routine is, for example, our mybacs® subscription model. Depending on your preferences, it delivers your mybacs products directly to your door every 30, 90, or 180 days, allowing you to effortlessly maintain your healthy routine – without any additional effort. And if your lifestyle changes, you can adjust your subscription at any time, have it transferred to another address, or cancel it.
6. Just do it:
Don't wait for the perfect moment, because it never comes. Start now!
So, what's stopping you? Start your new routine now and lay the foundation for a happier, healthier life!
