Routines in everyday life: the power of repetition
Why small habits improve our lives in the long term
In everyday life, many people want one thing above all else: more peace and quiet, less stress and healthier habits. But between work, commitments and free time, there is often little room to consciously take care of yourself.
This is exactly where routines come into play. They help to give structure to everyday life, simplify decisions and ensure more balance in the long term. Scientific findings from habit psychology show that it is not big changes that have the greatest effect, but small, realistic routines that can be easily integrated into everyday life and remain in place for the long term.
Why routines are so important for our well-being
Routines give our everyday lives structure, security and orientation. Studies in behavioral psychology show that habits automate a large part of our daily decisions and thus save mental energy.
A well-known study by Duke University came to the conclusion that around 40% of our daily actions are based on habits (Wood, Quinn & Kashy, 2002). This means that the more consciously we organize our routines, the more positive their effect on our well-being.
Further research by University College London shows that new habits take an average of around 66 days to become established - depending on their complexity and suitability for everyday use (Lally et al., 2010).
Conclusion: Small routines, carried out regularly, are more effective than short-term motivation.
Small routines instead of big resolutions
Many people fail because their goals are too ambitious. Instead, experts recommend
👉 realistic steps
👉 fixed points in time
👉 clear triggers in everyday life
Examples of routines suitable for everyday life:
👉 a conscious evening ritual
👉 a short break without a screen
👉 a fixed signal to switch off
Such mini-habits help to reduce stress and find more balance in the long term.
Relaxation routines: Why rituals help us to calm down
Rituals differ from habits in that they are consciously performed. They signal to the body: I can relax now.
Studies show that recurring rituals
👉 reduce the feeling of stress
👉 promote emotional security
👉 strengthen self-awareness
Evening routines in particular can help to bring the day to a mental close and calm down.
CBD as part of a conscious routine
Many people specifically integrate CBD into their personal relaxation routines - not as a miracle cure, but as a gentle supplement to mindfulness and self-care.
Typical application rituals are
👉 as a fixed part of the evening routine
👉 during conscious breaks in everyday life
👉 as a signal to end the day calmly
Important: CBD does not replace healthy habits, but can be a useful accompaniment to them.
Research is also focusing on CBD and relaxation. A review in the Journal of Clinical Psychology (Blessing et al., 2015) describes the potential of cannabidiol in connection with stress and anxiety regulation - but also points out the importance of a holistic lifestyle.
Establish routines: Step by step to everyday success
If you want to establish new routines, these principles will help:
Start small - 2 minutes a day is better than 30 minutes once a week
Choosefixed times - e.g. after brushing your teeth
Link rituals - link new habits to existing ones
Be patient - routines take time
True to the motto: One year. Twelve months. Many small, good routines.
Conclusion: routines as the key to more balance
Whether it's a morning ritual, a conscious break or a relaxing evening routine - small habits have a big impact. They help us to get on with everyday life, reduce stress and live healthier lives in the long term.
CBD can be a conscious companion, embedded in personal rituals and adapted to your own rhythm. Find your routine. At your own pace. To suit your everyday life.
