Tuesday 4

 

Routines

 Howdy! 

Welcome back to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4. 

They say having routines in your life keeps you mentally healthier than living a disorganized or haphazard life. Schedules have a profound effect on our well being. Belonging to clubs, organizations is good for us.  

According to research from UCLA  Health, "  a predictable daily routine supports mental health by reducing stress, lowering cognitive load, and creating a steady sense of personal control. "

It keeps sickness away too. People with good daily routines and habits live longer and decidedly healthier lives.  It promotes a feeling of productiveness and purpose.

Boredom contributes to sickness and cognitive decline in the elderly.

1. Do you have a daily routine for yourself and for your home? yes. 

2. What is your morning routine? How about your bedtime routine?

Early  rise to get breakfast and lunch for my working guys. Then coffee and breakfast and start my blogging. Then supper in crockpot before lunch. 

3.Do you have a routine get together for a family meal or game/movie or pizza night?

We eat together every night but thats it. 

4. AnyTV programs, clubs, organizational routines you never want to miss? Do you attend town meetings, choir practice?

I do weekly volunteering at the library. Once a month food truck and Sunday service and fellowship.
