How to Incorporate Two Times a Week into My Routine?

I’ve been thinking a lot about how often I should be engaging in different activities to support my mental health and overall wellness, specifically wondering how the phrase ‘two times a week’ might apply to that.

Understanding the Frequency

In my research, I’ve come across various recommendations for how often to practice things like yoga, meditation, or even physical exercise that can aid in recovery. It seems like there’s a common thread suggesting ‘two times a week’ as a solid frequency for many practices. However, I’m curious about how realistic that is for someone currently navigating their personal recovery journey.

Balancing Commitments

Between work, family, and other obligations, I find it challenging to fit things into my schedule. What activities do you think are most beneficial to prioritize if aiming for two times a week?

  • Yoga: I’ve heard that even just a couple of sessions can enhance flexibility and reduce stress. Is that true?
  • Meditation: It can feel overwhelming at first. Does practicing meditation two times a week yield noticeable benefits?
  • Support Groups: I know these are vital for many, but is it realistic for someone to attend twice a week?
