By I am a creature of habit. I have several different daily routines I base my day around. This blog, my journal, what time I feed my cat, it’s all just mindless routine. In some circumstances, this can be a good thing. It helps keep life simple and organized.
Unfortunately, the same routine can lead to burnout and complacency. Routines can take the shape of both action and emotion. We can routinely get stressed about the things we can’t control. We can find ourselves stuck in these ruts without change and it isn’t healthy. Use routine when necessary but embrace change when possible. Use gratitude for everything in between.
