Another thing I wanted to include that Hope for Change touched on a bit was finding a routine. Not just for work but for your personal life, too.

1. Morning routine: Do you shower? Play some uplifting instrumentals while you shower, or what I have done in the past was to pick the nicest smelling shampoos that work best with your hair type and the most rejuvenating, exfoliating, best smelling body wash. Light a candle and watch the flames for 5-10 minutes. Drink a cup of coffee or tea in the most relaxing part of the house. Plan on eating breakfast, even if it's a bagel and cream cheese. Read a daily motivational, whether it's Jesus Calling or Zen or DBT, etc. Prepare a work lunch the night before or before work.

At Work: Go on a walk during your breaks. Bring music if you can. Read a small book whether it's a fun book, a zen/religious book, or DBT book.

Night: Take a hot bubble bath with spa music, do yoga, write a hand-written letter, journal, look at funny memes or pictures of cute animals, make a lunch for the next work day.

Pay Day: I feel you should splurge a little on pay day. Up until the fire, Pay Day meant one energy drink and a meal out a sit-down restaurant. Sometimes I'll buy a little something just for me.
