We create habits and routines in our lives because it is comfortable. We find things that work for us, and takes the fuss out of mornings, nights, work and play. We are all different but in some way shape or form we all have routines and habits that dictate a majority of our time on earth. What if routines can be a bad thing though? Surely we can become stiff and unable to adapt to change, but what if we don’t understand or know why we do the things that we do? Whether that is sitting in front of the television at the end of the night to wind down, or checking our email first thing in the morning when we wake up we must have a why behind this…right?
The minute that we do things without a thought behind them we are disengaged from what we are doing. We are simply going through the motions. You’ll know if you are going through the motions if you were to ask why I do that and your first response is…”I don’t know”. Analyzing our every move can seem daunting…but don’t think of it as an audit rather…having purpose behind our actions. If we have purpose and intention with our daily routines and habits we are able to trace back where we are at today…to where we are going in the future.
Nothing is routine, be willing to introduce new things into the mix, not only to adapt and find better ways to perform, but also to keep asking yourself why things are the way they are. Have a reason to your rhyme and a rhyme to your reason even if that reason is simply to be mindless. It’s ok to take time for yourself and be spontaneous but just be intentional with it!
