The Estate & Asset Protection Law Firm Managing Partner, Shannon Pawley, Writes About The Importance Of Establishing Routines When Routines Have Been Upended.
Estate & Asset Protection Attorney and Managing Partner, Shannon Pawley reminds readers about how important it is to have scheduled routines, particularly during the uncertain times that COVID-19 has created.
DECATUR, GA, August 26, 2020: Shannon Pawley, Managing Partner of The Estate & Asset Protection Law Firm, has posted a new blog on the law firm’s website entitled “The Value Of Routines Especially In Stressful Times,” in which Ms. Pawley encourages readers — even those who don’t like routine – to establish routines during the COVID-19 uncertainties.
Pawley points out as a reminder, “We humans are creatures of habit. We love routines.” She continues adding, “Most of the time, our routines give us a sense of safety and security. We have routines for getting up in the morning to get the kids ready for school and get off to our jobs on time. We have routines for eating and going to bed at night. We have exercise routines, house cleaning routines. But,” she adds, “I think we can all agree, there is nothing like a global pandemic to throw us off kilter and feel like the whole world is upside down.”
“Routines are important to our mental health,” writes Pawley. She adds, “It has been shown that many people who don’t have any type of established routines suffer from stress, poor sleep, poor eating, poor physical condition and they do not use time effectively.” She goes on to say that, “Some people consider routines to be boring. Fact is though that routines can be fun. And there is no time like being thrown into the midst of a global pandemic to establish some new routines that may last you well beyond when we are able to look back on 2020 as the year that was anything but routine.”
