How to create a new routine at home
It used to go something like this: Wake up, get ready, drop kids off, commute to work. Repeat. But now that our typical routine is disrupted, it’s suddenly more challenging to maintain a sense of normalcy—and the healthy habits we’ve worked hard to achieve. But the more we stick to a new routine, the easier (and more automatic) it becomes. Having structure and consistency will help you create a new normal to balance it all out.

1. Consistent routines add structure to our days, which can help us feel grounded and maintain healthy habits. That becomes especially important when things feel out of our control or when we have a lot of free time on our hands.
-
2. We’re more likely to overeat when we’re out of our typical routines—and we’re less likely to view that as a setback.

3. Creating routines helps us balance our daily “must-dos,” what we enjoy, and how we take care of our health—like eating healthier, being active, and getting enough sleep.
