Tips for daily living (Asthma)

3) Morning routine

Try to allow yourself time in the mornings to do all the washing, dressing and grooming tasks without rushing.

On days when you feel your asthma and breathing are not so good, have a simplified morning routine as a back up. For example take your inhalers and rest before you attempt washing, shower or dressing.

If you often feel worse in the mornings, plan to have your bath or shower in the evening if you feel better at this time of the day.

Keep everything you will need close at hand near the sink.

If you are having a bad day try sitting down to wash, shave or apply make up.
