Doing your morning papers and meditating seems like pretty healthy habbits to me already. I don’t think you should give those up. Why don‘t just add them to your routines on fabulous and remove the ones there instead?
Personally, I think you should do a mix of the two. Your own routines, depending on what they are, could be very important for school or work. For example, if you’re late to work or class because you’re meditating, well then you should probably find another time to meditate or drop that from your routine. Really analyze what habits and routines you already have, and which ones are important to you. Keep the ones that are important, and drop the ones that are unhealthy/don’t make you happy/don’t bring value to your life. If the fabulous routines don’t make you happy, and aren’t enriching your life, then you shouldn’t keep them. Just because something is ‘healthy’ for some people, doesn’t mean it’s beneficial to everyone, or possible for everyone! I wish you luck, and hope you’re able to sit down and sort which habits and routines bring more value to your day to day life!
Absolutely not, keep with your own routine, it sounds great anyways! But still keep with fabulous as it keeps you on track, you also have the option to create your own routine, add your own habits, and your own times, so stick with it! 😄👍
When i first started I had the same struggles . I consider doing the fabulous routine a part of my normal routine. I started waking up earlier so i had time for both routines. If you need to remove something that is fine too. The fabulous routine does seem to help me but that can be different for everyone. If you feel that this app is not beneficial to you then it might be best to quit, but first try to adjust. It sounds as though you already had a pretty healthy routine, so you could just add on to that with out using the app.
I think you should use the app’s suggestions to create a basis routine with which to work on and then add on those which you already do. The routines are easily customisable and I would definitely suggest doing so as I do myself. I start with meditation in the morning when I wake up and the routine I have created with their basis has really improved my day.
You should do what the app says because yes, it is healthier and will help you live a better life.
Awesome question! I decided to follow the app because clearly my routine was not working for me - primarily because I controlled it. The app gave me what I longed for and couldn’t afford- a personal life coach. The app wonderfully includes a way however to add in rituals that you want to have in your day; and you can add as a many as you like- and the app will remind you every day to do them- but with no pressure.. only encouragement for the ones you accomplish..So good luck!! and go be awesome today🌈✨🦋
Progress is progress no matter how you look at it. It’s hard implementing new habits into your life but wherever you can fot it in will make all the difference. Meditate before bed and put on a sleep meditation with headphones. Your exercise could be walking the dog, its movement that’s key. Breakfast should never be skipped. Most weight gain is caused by not eating a healthy breakfast. Clean your diet up, it will make all the difference. Don’t forget your water either, no sugary drinks or artificial anything.
I would reflect on how you feel now vs how you felt after your old routines. I think ideally it would be great to be able to do it all but I know that’s not always realistic. Could you try mindfulness exercises while eating instead of meditating? Or could you meditate for five minutes first thing in the morning, or at lunch or before bed? I’m not sure what morning pages are but you could see if you could do those at a different time. Or you could set your alarm a little earlier so you could have time for everything. I wonder if there’s a way to create a goal on the app. That way it will remind you and it’ll be something you want to check off.
Yes I do think you should stick with the app but make sure you make some time away doing what you want like maybe skip one work out day or sleep in just once a week not to break habits but to reward yourself for all the good you did. Just because you make one day of yourself doesn’t mean you broke everything all together
