Create a Regular Routine

Why it helps: A consistent routine creates predictability, which is comforting to the brain. When you know what to expect, the brain feels less need to worry about potential problems. Regular routines around sleep, meals, and self-care provide stability and structure, which reduces feelings of chaos and uncertainty that can fuel anxiety. Additionally, routines can improve sleep and support balanced energy levels, both of which contribute to a more resilient mindset. Knowing when and how you’ll address daily tasks can help prevent small stresses from piling up into larger anxiety-inducing situations.
