You touch on a very important, yet slightly underappreciated issue, which is the power of daily routines. Even though we can - no matter how hard we work - easily find 10 minutes a day for meditation or another 10 for the practice of love and gratitude (that you wrote about), it is hugely underappreciated how big influence it will have on our mental and emotional health.
In the meantime - it is to our emotions, what physical activity on a daily jogging session is to our body. Just as much as we need some physical activity and movement, we need this kind of "emotional movement" you described, to maintain healthy relationships - and what's more important than them...
I hope this will get some more likes soon, because it's a great and important issue to tell about!
