This Recovered Life Panel zeroed in on what it really takes to build mental health routines that last. Panelists shared honestly about what works for them, what doesn’t, and how to avoid the trap of trying to do everything perfectly. The conversation, part of the weekly Recovered Life+ series, highlighted the importance of building routines that support—not sabotage—your recovery. We discuss medication and 12-step culture, sharing individual healing journeys.
From practical tips to mindset shifts, the group explored how consistency and self-compassion often matter more than getting it "just right." The takeaway? Sustainable progress comes from keeping it simple and showing up, even when it’s messy.
You don’t need a perfect morning ritual. You need something you’ll actually do—even if it’s just five minutes and a cup of coffee without your phone.
