My daily rhythm
Build a simple daily structure — wake time, meals, movement, people, recovery, wind-down — so empty hours don't run the day.
Regular daily rhythms steady mood and energy, and some therapies for mood disorders build them on purpose (Frank's social rhythm therapy). In recovery, structure also fills the unplanned time where boredom and cravings creep in.
In eating disorder recovery, follow the meal plan from your care team.
1. Wake-up time
2. Regular meal and snack times
Eating regularly keeps energy and mood steadier — and hunger can feel a lot like a craving.
3. My morning anchor — something I do every morning
Coffee on the porch, reading, prayer, a short walk…
4. A recovery activity most days (meeting, call, reading, check-in)
5. Movement
6. Time with people
7. Evening wind-down
8. Bedtime
9. My plan for empty stretches — evenings and weekends
