I can't follow an exact routine everyday but try to fit in a few things during my conscious hours.

Basically eating x amount of times a day. Eating less meat during the week. Sleeping between x amount of hours. (usually 7-9) Trying to get in a little bit of exercise. Practicing positive attitude. Spending some time with my boyfriend. (Not always possible now that we're both working)

I don't see how daily reminders of being bipolar helps, though. I usually think about it if I notice a different mood state but I don't actively tell myself I am/have it. I don't think it's healthy?

I think you do what you think will help you and that's all you can do. For some people that means a strict schedule. For others, they may be flexible with their daily schedule but intend on keeping some rules. I think *some* routine/schedule/goals that you can follow daily, help, too. Like, drinking less alcohol and smoking less pot can't be a bad thing, but I don't necessarily think quitting completely is necessary if you can do it in moderation. So, yeah, I agree with you. I couldn't imagine quitting everything that I enjoy.
