What daily routines can protect the mental health of the whole family?

Mental health is protected by basic things repeated every day, not a one-off fix. Get enough sleep and keep a regular waking time, because lack of sleep poisons the emotions. Move and do light exercise, and get some sunlight. Limit time on screens and distressing news. Keep up prayer and dhikr as an anchor for the heart, and make time to talk without distractions. Eat a balanced diet and cut down on excess caffeine. Encourage every family member to express their feelings openly. Small, consistent routines build resilience in the face of stress.
