hello, I need help making a new routine. I currently don't have a routine and its really led to my life falling apart. I haven't had one for a long time. In this routine I would like specific times that I need to do things. I currently struggle with not being able to brush my teeth, shower and washing my face. I always stay indoors and I'm always on my phone. please don't suggest any activities that involve in social interactions (making new friends) as I am not interested in that right now. I like skateboarding. I can't afford to try new activities so please suggest free things to do. I want to do better with my life but I'm really struggling please help it will be very much appreciated. I have a basketball too. I would like to do as much things as possible In order to keep me going and motivated. I find that not being occupied/ stimulated makes me end up being on my phone for hours which I really want to change. I'm open to trying new things. Thank you for your time and help
I have a weekday (working) routine, and a completely separate weekend routine. I get upset if my routines are broken or disturbed, and so I have to ask the question, is creating routines the way forward? I find myself trying to break my routines in a controlled way to prevent the anxiety caused when the interruptions are beyond my control. I do exactly the same procedure every day when getting ready for work, pack myself up with the same food, go for the same walk when I get home, have the same foods for my evening meals etc. It keeps me in a comfort zone but I'm not always sure that's a good thing. Only by stepping out of that zone, against all inner thoughts to the contrary, do I start to feel that I'm actually 'living' life and not just a slave to it.
