Maintaining a routine during COVID 19

Stress is often given a bad name but the right amount of stress can motivate you to get things done. In order to prevent 'bad stress' it is important to recognise when it has become overwhelming. One of the best ways to do this is to maintain a routine. Routines can help family life run a little smoother and they can teach us about basic time management skills. Sometimes things won't go to plan but that's ok! Think about what you would change the next time (ie doing less in a day). By working together as a family to build a routine, everyone will feel invested in it and also have realistic expectations. A vital component of building a routine is also making space for downtime to include sleep, eating well, exercise and maintaining connections with family and friends. 

Another great way to build a successful routine is to make a visual template. This will make it much easier for everyone in the family to remember and complete their tasks. While this can be a tricky time to start, the benefits are often enormous particularly for your families' wellbeing.

 

Stay Safe,
