I find sleep important and so is the meal times. Daily structure is very important to me. Inside my structured day I have physical exercises for my body after breakfast. Then I remind myself on my CBT tools (repeat them), so I remember to use them when needed. In my morning repetition of CBT I repeat my weaknesses too and think through what to do in different situations (I'm not using CBT only, but information I have gathered about myself through the years).

After the physical exercises and the repeating of beneficial tools I do 5 to 10 minutes of relaxation using scientific methods for that and use self instructions in the end of the relaxing exercises.

Then I go for a walk alone or with friends.

I try to turn procrastination around and reward myself for doing so.

I have made a different schedule for each day, a weekly plan that repeats every week. When a day is atypical like visiting others, going to the theatre etc, I make a special plan for what to do that day when I come home. In my life going out and having fun is a trigger. If I don't do something to get the physical arousal down, it will spiral higher then what is good for me. My extraordinary structure for atypical days is a must for me ...

My medication is important and I take them at the same time each day.
