Daily Emotional Hygiene helps you:
- maintain your well-being
- engage constructively
- preserve your practice results
Well-being baseline and constructive engagement
You monitor your state of mind and manage arising emotions. Prevent unwanted reactions from maturing, stockpiling, and interfering with your day. Emotional Hygiene helps you keep your mind in a zone of balance and resilience. Maintain clarity, energy levels, and motivation for constructive action:
Preserve results of mind training
The inertia of old habits will test your practice regularly. If neglected, residual reactions will reestablish the obsolete framing and responses.
Emotional Hygiene helps you watch your sore spots, and make sure constructive views integrate fully. Achieve the 5 milestones for a successful change of responses.
Daily rituals
Here are some of the Emotional Hygiene routines you may use:
- morning tune-in and preparing for the day
- monitoring, introspection
- preparing for engagements, debriefing after engagements
- emotional regulation micro-practices (breathing, stopp, etc.)
- reframing sessions

Some of these routines can become your regular rituals. For example, morning tune-in and unwinding before sleep. Some — you can use on-demand. For example, do a reframing session if you discover an unwanted emotion.
