Your home is the one place entirely under your control. Losing that control means losing an essential source of peace.
2. Never stop leaving the house
At first, staying in feels freeing. No schedules. No obligations. But suddenly, days pass without speaking to anyone—and the most alarming part is that you barely notice.
When you stop going out, your world quietly contracts. Your mind becomes duller. Your sense of belonging fades. Going out isn’t indulgent. It’s essential.
3. Never abandon a daily rhythm
Waking up whenever you want may feel like freedom, but it’s a subtle trap. Both body and mind depend on structure. Without it, days blur together, energy drops, and sadness slips in unnoticed.
Routine isn’t confinement. It’s stability.
4. Never cut yourself off completely from others
Living alone doesn’t mean vanishing. Solitude and isolation are not the same—and isolation is dangerous.
No one should live in a way where something could happen and no one would realize it. Total silence isn’t independence; it’s exposure.
5. Tidy your space every day, even just a little
Don’t wait for motivation. Start first.
Twenty minutes is enough—wash a few dishes, clear a surface, straighten what’s visible. A calmer space allows the mind to rest.
Action creates motivation, not the other way around.
6. Leave the house at least three times a week
It doesn’t need to be anything special. A coffee. A short walk. Grocery shopping. A visit to the library or a nearby square.
Stepping outside keeps your mind engaged, your voice active, and your sense of connection alive. It also gives shape to your week so the days don’t all melt together.
