Routines aren’t just about structure, they’re about self-preservation. The quiet moments that remind us we’re allowed to care for ourselves, even when life feels chaotic. But somewhere along the way, routines started feeling like another thing to get right, another measure of discipline instead of peace. In this season finale of Unfiltered Yaps, I unpack my love-hate relationship with routines, what it really means to show up for yourself with grace, and how I’m learning to see routine as an act of care, not control.
We’ll talk about your answers to “What’s the part of your daily routine that helps you feel most grounded?” from making the bed and brushing your hair, to stretching, tidying up at night, and planning for the next day. I’ll share how my idea of routine has shifted from rigid schedules to softer rituals, why I think grace is more sustainable than discipline, and the reminder that even imperfect consistency still counts as showing up.
Plus, this week’s journal prompt to help you reflect on what peace could look like if your routine wasn’t built around productivity, and a thank you for being part of this first season for listening, engaging, and growing with me.
