I used to overthink routines. I’d plan them like a lab experiment: supplements, stretches, timing charts. Then I’d miss one day, feel like a failure, and quit.

Now my “routine” is more like a rhythm. It fits inside real life instead of fighting it. Here’s what actually stuck:

  • Morning: two minutes of breathing before touching my phone. Slow in, slow out. Feels dumb at first, works every time.
  • Midday: one walk — no music, no scrolling. Just moving. That reset started helping me notice tension earlier, not just in the bedroom.
  • Evening: no new content an hour before sleep. My brain needed boredom again to calm down.

None of it looks impressive. But it built consistency — the thing every “miracle fix” skips.

If you’re looking for the routine that helps most, try the one that feels almost too small to matter. That’s the one that lasts.
