Daily routine is important for me. Go to bed about the same time each night and wake up about the same time each daty. Time to go to work. Time to have meals. Time to exercise. Of course, time to socialise. It does seem bored that every thing repeats daily. It is necessary that we repeat every single thing until all those things become a habit.
Why so? For the majority, they have no issues to live like that. In comparison, for people with bipolar disorder, sometimes we might overdo due to too energetic; sometimes we might do so little due to fatigue feeling. When we practise our life to be the same almost every day, we may carry on our life despite of mood swinging up and down. To have a normal lifestyle, it is a must that every task can be carried on regardless you are in good mood or bad mood.
For example, when it is time to exercise, it is very easy to do it when I am in good mood. If I am in bad mood, really feel that I just want to lie in bed and forget about everything. Although in such situation, I drag myself to the gym whatsoever. After the workout, I feel fresh and my mood has been lifted up amazingly. Hence, please always think about the end result after you do something instead of caring about your feelings at the moment. For me, I would think that the power of now does not apply on me.
It is your determination to keep on going. We all know life can be good or bad each day. Unfortunately, we have no ability to control the outside world and we cannot even control our feelings. The good point is, we still have the freedom to choose. The freedom to choose a routine lifestyle. More importantly, please do choose that you still want to survive.
