HABITS, ROUTINES & MENTAL HEALTH

Mental health underpins how we feel, connect and act. It shapes our resilience, decision-making and relationships. Supporting mental health through rhythm helps regulate mood, manage stress and protect against anxiety, depression and cognitive decline.

WHAT IS IMPROVE?

Improve offers rhythmic routines that help you regulate your senses, emotions and behaviours. You’ll use rhythm to support calm breathing (sensory), connect through community drumming (social-emotional), and build healthy daily habits (behavioural) around exercise and diet.

WHY IMPROVE?

Applying rhythm to everyday life helps your brain find balance. Regular rhythmic practice supports deeper sleep, steadier moods, deeper learning, stronger social connection and more consistent habits, all proven protective factors for long-term brain and mental health.

01 SLEEP

Maintaining healthy sleep and circadian rhythms is crucial for brain health. During sleep, the brain consolidates memories, clears out waste, and restores energy. Regulating the nervous system through rhythmic awareness and breathing helps reduce stress and improve sleep quality. 

Our Night Pulse playlist is designed to help when cravings or restlessness hit, playing slow, grounding beats.


You'll need

  • Our guide to sleep & calm 
  • Headphones or speaker
  • Music streaming app
  • Night Pulse playlist
  • A quiet, dark room
  • Bed or sofa


How long to try it

  • 5-15 minutes per day
  • Use it as part of a regular evening routine
  • Give it at least 4-8 weeks
  • The goal is consistency, not instant relaxation

02 CONNECTION

Lifelong learning and social connection are vital for brain health. They stimulate attention, memory, and language, while protecting against age-related cognitive decline and dementia. 


Community drumming in a group setting is a great way to combine learning and social connection.  Learning new rhythms supports cognitive resilience and neuroplasticity, whilst the group playing helps you connect with others through a shared experience, strengthening empathy and social bonds.

Use a simple call-and-response beat to get started, add in improvisation to express feelings.


You'll need

  • Our Guide to community drumming
  • Drums, shakers or household percussion
  • An open space (indoors or outdoors)
  • Chairs arranged in a circle to promote inclusion and eye contact


How long to try it

  • Weekly or fortnightly sessions
  • Regular attendance matters more than session length
  • Stay involved for 8-10 weeks
  • Confidence, connection and learning grow over time

03 HABITS

Healthy daily habits form the foundation of long-term brain and body health. Our playlists are designed to turn daily routines into rhythmic rituals that build consistency, motivation and fun. Use them to pair everyday tasks like walking, cooking and cleaning with a rhythmic cue to build consistency, encourage mindful eating and turn effort into a habit. 


You'll need

  • Our guide to playlists for walking, cleaning & cooking
  • Headphones or speaker
  • Music streaming app
  • Walk to the beat, Clean Beats & Kitchen Beats playlist


How long to try it
