44. Establish my ‘daily meds’ list to support my routines (A non-medicated approach)

The Issue: I have no routine, perhaps as a result of a lack of those little boosters that stitch your day together and give you the lift you need when you need it!

So what are those things that give you a pep, keep you up when you need it, and help you come down when you want to, that keep your focus, let you know when your day begins and ends, and generally fuel your fire?

Well that's what I'm trying to find out. So this is a list of teh things I think my keep the engine running and the head in check....with a reason for each.

The Daily Meds (Non-medicated):

• Getting the F*&K out of bed: Literally, if I allow myself a lie in, it's game over.
• Green Tea: Associated with improved concentration and focus due to a dopamine release it elicits.
• Morning Visualisation/Meditation: A lot of research encourages this as a means to help focus and maintain    succesful work routine. Seeing yourself do something well tends to have a positive knock on. I find it useful when I do it. Plus, again it's not meds, it's easy and it's free. Oh and apparently it's associated with more grey matter!
• Anchoring: A little between event mental boost...and it really is a boost. I need to figure out where and how often to do it, but it's a little mental link back to a positive event that can help you clear your mind and get back on track. I faff getting bogged down in the detail and then freaked out...hopefully this help. 
• Smoothies: Well this one I've missed and don't know why I ever left them behind. Great way to get a lot of fruit into you and you can lace them with all sorts of other stuff...oats, echinacea, ginseng or whatever. 
• Udo's choice: Seems to be a great way to get some essential oils into ya!
• Food: Breakfast, lunch, dinner decent grazing between and NO LATE EATING!.
• Exercise: Come on, why have I gotten so sedentary. It's undoubtedly part of a bigger picture, but this is one thing that gives back the more you invest in it. But like everything, the more I ponder, the less I do it. So I'm aiming for a post work session most days a week and factoring in my other PA plans (Tennis, Golf, Basketball etc. later in the week and over the weekends. 
• My Diary: This one I kind of hate. It plays with my eyes, badly. It forces me to reflect! It makes me look at the long list of things I haven't gotten done....but inevitably, it's what I need to chain myself to in order to know where I'm going and why. This should be pre-exercise? 
• A shower before bed time: It's said to lower your body temperature (in the post shower cooling phase) and help to induce sleep.
• Progressive Muscular Relaxation: Tensing and relaxing body parts starting from toe to head. Helps to induce a mental and physical relaxation and again, nod off to a less busy minded sleep. I get as far as my knees and I'm comatozed. 

Ok so being realistic, will this be a 'Daily' collection of things? No! These will fit in with my Monday to Friday evening routine, but smoothies etc are every day.

So here's hoping and help me where you can.
